This afternoon, my buddy and I went to our favorite "Bait & Tackle" store to pick up some live shrimp for tonights fishing expedition.

There is now a bucket on the counter by the cash register for "TIPS". In a bait and tackle store. I may not of noticed it a couple weeks ago when last there.

Incidentally, the 2 dozen live shrimp, a dozen fresh ballyhoo (more bait), and 16 ounces of assorted lead weights totaled almost $20.00 Fishing is not always "frugal". And, we could of caught our own bait, and even live shrimp, but prefer not to have to rely on catching enough to meet our needs.

Tipping for bait? Please.
