    IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN BUT IT WOULD NOT DO ANY GOOD IT WOULD BE MORE OF A WASTE. 35 DOLLERS IS ALOT OF MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE WORKING FOR THEM. HACKERS WHO NEVER FISHED BEFORE AND THEIR FAMILY TREE GOES STRIGHT UP IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

    $35 a day is pretty disgusting, down right robbery plus taking your tips. I worked in Barnegat Light, NJ on the party and charter boats for 5 years in the summer and weekends while is HS and college. The last year was 2002 and I was getting $70 a day on part boats and averaging $70-$90 in tips, some days less and somedays alot more. The old man made sure to alert people to the tipping of mates over the intercom which made a huge difference. If you are interested in work the Canyon Runner is looking to hire 2 mates and they are accepting applications.

    Alots been said already, I do agree a mate can do well if he presents himself well. But now to the question, I've been in this postion, going rate used to be $1000 a foot per year (61' = 61000 yearly salary) plus the crew divides 40% percent of winnings net not gross, never won though. We were all captains and all mates, most of all we were a team making the same.

    Sunbeam, Sorry to hear you got cornholed by such a shotty operation.
    During my college years in Newport, RI, I work for the Frances Fleet in Point Judith. They paid $100 + tips for canyon overnight trips and $50+ tips for nightime bass trips. Tips fluctuated with the level fishing, but I never walked away without a couple hundred bucks in my pocket. Beyond the money they were a team to fish with. Finding good gigs can be a bit of journey, but if you put your dues in good gigs come to good mates so dont give up.

    OOPS - I didn't realize some already said that above.
    everyone thinks about the captain and mates how about the owner how much does he get paid per day percentage or tips oh he just gets the bills and doesnt matter if he makes money or not as long as everyone else makes it
