Going on a guided crappie fishing trip with a buddy in a few weeks. He hired a guide to take us out for a 6 hr (I think) trip and buddy is footing the bill. Question is…is tipping customary/expected in this situation? I know offshore you usually tip the deckhand but this is just a single dude. I figured I’d pick up the tip if one is warranted….just never done this kinda thing before. If so, how much?

Maybe. If he seems intent on cleaning the fish and provides the bags etc.. I would confer w/ your partner ahead of time and volunteer to be the tipper..
He could possibly prefer you take the time to give him a great review if all goes well. Good luck bud. Maybe he'll spot you a couple hot jigs for your tackle box re-stock.

Tipping is encouraged. Especially if it is a good trip.

Tipping is always appreciated I would assume. Which lake and which guide are you going with. I’m in the market for a good trip.

If the guide works hard to put you on fish and is polite, tip him/her well. 10 to 20% of trip cost.

Weiss Lake. Not sure on the guide because buddy booked it. I’ll find out and let you know how it goes.

I’d be sliding him a $100 bill (saltwater multiply x 5) before we ever left the dock if you want a trip to remember. Every boat captain worth their weight in cut-bait will have a few special honey holes and those are the numbers you want to be fishing on all day long, not the same ol’ spots he takes all his other customers to.
