Charter fishing tips
Hello all, needed a bit of advice about charter fishing and tipping. Im going on a 1/2 day charter out of Tampa and well, I have not been fishing in 15 years and was told that the tipping is the norm for the first mate. What percent range % do you tip a 1st mate on a chartered fishing trip and what does a first mate do? What does a first mate do, and how much do you tip?

Thanks

Fishing northen ontario info?

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
It’s looking like it’s going to be a go because my work gave me some time off after 2 years of working straight. Anyway, me a some of my friends want to go on a Canadian fly fishing trip this summer. Can anyone recommend a good place. Which is better fly in or drive in? Thought I’d ask here and see that there are some nice helpful anglers. Also, if you have any information/guides etc. What gear would you recommend and we want to go fly fishing so any fly advice would be helpful. Thanks- Jeff

Deep sea fishing
My date invited me to go ocean fishing? This will be my third date in a month and it was his turn to pick a place so, he invited me to go Ocean Fishing! I have done a lot of fishing in my life, but  never been “ocean” fishing before, so I have no idea what to expect or wear when you go ocean fishing? I know it sounds like a somewhat dumb blond’e question, but should I worry about getting seasick? Also, I have to bring the food too! Suggestions?
Many thanks for any advice.- Eileen

South Florida Fishing in January?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Just got news from my job I’ll have 2 weeks off in January and want to head to South Florida to do some fishing.  The Florida F&G web site said they allow fishing off of the beach and piers. However, it is winter so I was wondering if there is anything to be caught off of the shore that time of year and what baits might work best? Or just forget it and go for charter fishing instead?

Can the captain keep the giant Fish?

Friday, August 28th, 2009
I have heard that it is well known rule/law that the captain of a fishing boat/charter gets to keep any “giant” fish like Tuna, Halibut, he/she wants. It’s their boat or rules? Is this true, and why is this allowed if you are the one paying for the boat charter?

How do I start a small Charter Fishing business?

Friday, August 28th, 2009
I am 21 and live in I live in Navarre, FL. I also, own 36ft fishing boat (1-6 Fishers + 3 Crew) that I am wanting to use for “small private fishing charters”.  What are the permits, licenses, .etc  needed?  I’ve been taken out friends and family regualary and just get a kick back on gas and such? Is it profitable or just a hobby  for most so they can keep fishing and stay above water on boat costs and insurance and stuff? Your in-put would be appreciated.

Cancun fishing Suggestions?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009
I’ll be going to be staying in beautiful Cancun for a week in September. I wanted to charter a private boat for the family. My son who is 11 has dreamed about Marlin fishing and want to be with him on his first bill-fish. Sadly, I’ve heard horrible things about aquaworld charters and hotel. My budget for two people is $800 I looking for a successful trip. I understand they call it “Fishing” for a reason, but sure would be nice for my boy to get his first Marlin. Recommendations?

Thanks.

Jeff
