Fishing
Etiquette
When enjoying a day of fishing as a guest in someone's
boat, it is
important to remember that, unless the group has another
established
procedure, each guest should be expected to help clean
fish, clean
the boat, and pay for his or her share of the expenses (
gas, oil,
bait ). Don't embarrass the captain by making him or her
have to
ask, step forward by offering to clean the fish and the
boat, and
then ask what your share of the damage is. Let's make it
easy for
captains to volunteer their boats. Some ballpark
estimates are set
out below to help you. |

OFFSHORE GUIDELINES: $50 TO $100 PER PERSON |
|
A typical offshore boat will get 0.7 to 2
miles per gallon of gas. A
typical offshore trip will be 40 - 60 miles
door to door. Using some
current costs for fuel, bait, ice etc. the
range is $150 to $400
total. With 4 fishermen on a boat, you get a
$50 to $150 per fisherman cost.
Adjustments must be made for boat size,
number of anglers, round
trip distance traveled, trolling or bottom
fishing, etc. |

BACKWATER GUIDELINES: $20 TO $30 PER
PERSON |
|
A typical
backwater boat will get 3 to 4 miles per
gallon. A typical
backwater trip is 20 – 40 miles door to
door. Using the same costs
the day range is $30 to $50. Backwater
boats are usually 2 fishermen
including the owner for a $20 to $30 per
fisherman cost. |
