Keep These Fishing Tips Handy to Improve Your Catch
Fishing is an activity you can engage in on quite a few levels. You can go fishing with nothing but the most basic of rods or head out with a minivan full of equipment. Whatever the case the chances of a good catch are not necessarily determined by how good you are as a fisherman. Instead your catch can depend on a variety factors, from where you are fishing, the seasons and just pure luck. This is why it's always best to keep some valuable fishing tips on the top of your mind.
A good fishing tip is where to fish for the best catch. With that end result in mind, we need to understand the weather and understand the effects it has on fishing. For example wind can push the bait further away from shore and the bait will be followed by game fish. Thus a good fishing tip where the wind is concerned is to cast the bait into the wind. A cold front can also affect fishing as the fish respond to the changes in the atmosphere and usually the catch will be poor after a storm has passed. Therefore another good fishing tip is to avoid going out fishing immediately after a storm for the catch is bound to be lighter than would otherwise be the case.
Fishing tips when rain is involved revolve around the severity of the rain. A light rain will shatter the view a fish would have of the surface and render it unable to see you. Heavy rain on the other hand can end up muddying the water and making it hard for the fish to find the bait or the lure.
Meanwhile the level of saltwater as well as tides plays a role in deciding whether it's a good time to fish or not. Another good fishing tip is to fish on a rising or falling tide as a dead high or a dead low tide situation will see little movement and as a result few fish will be caught. But tides don't always come and go like clockwork and as such it is advisable to find out the time for high and low tides before setting off to fish.
Yet another valuable fishing tip is to find out where there is plenty of food. Birds especially gather around areas where there are plenty of fish so if you see the birds darting in and out with prized catches of their own, the chances of you getting yourself a noteworthy catch are also quite high.

How much should you tip on a deep sea fishing charter?
If the fishing is slow, (so there are few fish to clean) it doesn't make sense to short the crew -- after all, it's not their fault if the fish didn't bite. And fish cleaning is only one of the things the crew does, so don't base your tip on that alone.
If the crew worked hard and did their best, tip about fifteen percent of what you paid to get on the boat. If you have a banner catch and they want more for cleaning it, pay them. After all, ten or twenty bucks really doesn't come to much when all is said and done, and you're going home with a good load of fresh, good-eating fish. Big fish may run from $2 to $10 apiece to clean, depending on the size and the boat.
If you're going to be a repeat customer, being known as a good tipper will definitely affect the service you get, and future trips will be more enjoyable. (Remember, many passengers don't tip at all, don't have their fish cleaned on the boat, etc.)
On the other hand, if the service sucks, stiff them and let them (especially the skipper) know why.
ADDITION:
Steve, you must run charters in a fish hatchery. In real parts of the world, there are days when the bite shuts down for everyone. It's not the deckhand's fault, or the skipper's fault, and it's not a collusion between all the skippers out chasing tuna or yellowtail or bass or whatever that day -- the fish just aren't biting. I've seen it in the ocean and in lakes, and I'm sure anyone who's done any amount of fishing has seen it a number of times. If you don't want to charge for when that happens, fine with me. But don't recommend that people stiff other crews when the fish don't bite, even if the boat stays out several hours late and burns more fuel and so on. If the crew does their best, they deserve a tip.
