I see both pints but lean towards Niko. I never have gone on a "friends" boat and not chipped in. He's not doing this as a livelyhood and isn't making a profit. If it was a daily thing that would be different. He's an a very experienced recreational fisherman that is extending a welcoming hand to other members here. I don't think he is taking money or charters away from anyone in my eyes. If I wasn't such a pu&%^#$@y on the big water
I'd take him up on it. On that note if you ever want a ride on the skiff for inshore action you're more than welcome. PM sent Niko. I hope you continue to post your trip reports though. It's good reading about a local doing good things out there.
