Just be aware that if you are asking for money, even if just for fuel, you could be considered a "boat for hire", and thus be required to have a charter license. I hate to sound like a pain, but with fuel becoming more and more expensive, charter boats are taking a hit in their wallets when they lose customers because of the increased cost per person. Since you would potentially be taking money away from other charters, I'd just be cautious when approching the subject of "chipping in".
You may want to "ask for donations" to help defray the cost (for example).
In any case, I hope you find good fish.
