Guide Tip? (Dave Stewart)

[Dave Stewart]

Sorry it took me so long to answer you...I have been out of town since Tuesday and did not return until late last night. Some good advice has already been given you here....10-15% is the norm with more for exceptional service and less for less than good service. The best question to ask yourself is did you receive good service for the type trip you were taking. Not all guide trips are all about catching fish...some like tournament preparation and purely instructional trips do not lend themselves to catching a lot of fish but these type trips sometimes cost the guide much more than just for fun fishing trips. Basically it comes down to this....did you get good service.

Thanks everyone for the input. It was a 6 hour trip and they tipped $40 for the good service and catching their limit plus a bonus huge cat. The pictures of their stripers can be seen on the stripertimes.com web-site under the Johnson 10-10-06 pics.
