RE: tipping your guide
I want to throw in a wrinkle to hear others opinions. Does the tip depend on bagging game/fish or not?
I have gone on a couple of guided fishing trips, actually one just a couple of weeks ago, and have been totally skunked. We still tipped, $20 tip per person on $180 per person day trip. Went once and the guide was a jerk, actually yelled at a guy in our boat for "jerking" his bait off (that does not sound good) when he got a strike. We still tipped him and did not get any fish. We went with another guide a couple weeks back and the river was super high and we were skunked again. But this time the guide was awesome, good company, enjoyed having us, shared tips, and genuinely was disappointed that we did not catch fish. We had a hard time getting him to accept our tip. That made me not care if we caught fish or not because we still had a good time.
Anyways, if you get skunked do you still tip?
