Pay Scale?

[sunbeammate]

I DROVE DOWN FROM CT FOR THS JOB. I WAS TOLD THAT THE JOB WAS GREAT WITH ALOT OF MONEY COMING IN. I WAS WORKING ONLY 3 OR 4 DAYS A WEEK AND LIVING OUT OF MY VAN BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET A APARTMENT. SO I LEFT AFTER A MONTH. IM BCK IN CT NOW WITH NO JOB WAITING FOR THE WEATHER TH WARM UP HERE TO START WITH THE SUNBEAM FLEET

[WAHOONBOX]

I WORKED ON THE CAPT. MICHAEL IN ISLMORADA FL. WHAT WE WERE PAID WAS 35 DOLLARS A TRIP AND HAD TO GIVE 20% OF TIPS TO THE CAPT. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A JOB DO NO WORK FOR ROBBIE'S, THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU I WOULD WALK OFF THE DOCK WITH LESS THAN A HUNDRED DOLLARS IN MY POCKET AFTER 12 HOURS OF WORK.

YOU ARE MORE MAN THAN ME.....

IF YOU WISH...I KNOW A BOATLOAD OF MATES AND WE CAN ALL DRIVE DOWN THERE WITH YOU THIS WEEKEND AND MAKE AQUANTENCE WITH THE THIEVES.

THIS WOULD MAKE A GOOD UNDERCOVER STORY......

[sunbeammate]

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.

OH I DO HAVE HAVE A GOOD JOB I WORK FOR THE SUNBEAM FLEET IN WATERFORD CT AND THEY PAY WELL PLUS THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT. I JUST DROVE DOWN THERE BECAUSE I NEDED SOMETHING TO DO IN THE WINTER.

Beacuse the licensed Captain is ultimately responsible for your safe return to port.


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
