We will mostly be bottom fishing. So unless something crazy happens and we limit out quickly we probably won't do any trolling.
If no deckhand is it still customary to tip the captain?
Thanks for all the responses.

If you are basically doing most of the deck hand work and you are cleaning you own fish....Id tip him, just not as much.... 10%ish. If he has you a limit and back at the dock so you can enjoy the rest of the day with your buddies...hes done his job and earned that tip.

Never fished offshore in Florida, but here bottom fishing sometimes can really require a deckhand. When you have 4 to 6 lines out stuff can start getting crazy pretty quick, especially if the other guys don't have any experience.
My advice would be to get the deckhand, if you're paying for a charter, how much work do you really want to do anyway? I know I am exhausted after a day offshore here, so if I pay for a charter I don't want to do jack shite.
As far as tip with a deckhand, tip him 15% and if he is a real bad arse then give him 20, most of the time the only way they get paid is via the tip. If you don't have one, then you should still tip the captain just not as much.
