Its a funny thing, I brought this very subject up 2 seasons ago, and was almost Castrated!!
The thought that I would ask for money was like I just murdered someone!
Now the gas has gone Thur the roof its OK??
Weather gas is $1 or $5 a gal, not all people are rich. I am a poor man in a rich mans sport!!
I have always made it clear that we all must share the expense! I have a few friends that are bad off, and they have gone fishing with me many times for free!! But always help out with the clean up!
I have had a guy (friend I thought) go fishing with me, brought no food, water, or anything! Not even a rod!
I supplied all (good thing I have extra on the boat) at the end of the day he had drank and eat all my food, broke a very special rod (I made for a friend that died) used up a bunch of tackle, and then held up a 5 gal bucket for Fluke, he said that was all he wanted.
Never offered me a dime, had to go could not stay for the clean up, and as for the rod, not even a sorry! Just well its a good thing you build rods you can make another for nothing.
Then got in his car and as he drove away said, "I will see you next time"
That was 3 years ago, and I have never seen him again, and if I ever do it will be too soon!
If you make it clear from the beginning the people that call you friend will always help out!!
