In my 40 plus years of fishing I,ve been fortunare enough to be a guest on many boats in different locations worldwide. In my opinion its a privelege not a right to be invited on a boat. That being said i always make sure that my host is compensated for his or her generous offer of taking me fishing EVEN IF THEY WERE GOING ANYWAY he or she took the time to invite me I always try to give them fuel money, leave tackle plugs ,bait etc or at the very least bring lunch or buy dinner and drinks at the watering hole upon your return One could also reciprocate with a fishing trip on your or someone elses boat. Thats the way I was raised to be a gracious guest PETE SANTINI
