Thank you for the great feedback. I'll throw in for the derby given the entrance fee vs. possible reward. And good point, Legacy, about tipping the mate if there is one. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Next week will be my first charter trip on Lake O. I have a couple of questions about etiquette. All feedback welcomed. 1) What would you suggest for an acceptable tip amount or percent? 2) Is there a significant benefit to the charter captain if you boat a fish that is a derby winner? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether a captain really prefers his clients to be derby contestants, or if it's solely personal choice to LOC or not to LOC. Thanks in advance.
