You may want to "ask for donations" to help defray the cost (for example).
In any case, I hope you find good fish.

I will respectfully disagree. Asking for fuel/bait assitance from friends haldly constitutes a "boat for hire" and it is highly doubtful that charter operations will lose out on customers.
Niko, I am on the N. Shore and although I cannot get out Friday, I would like to hook up sometime to fish so keep asking!
