Thumbs up
If I extend the invitation and it's my idea to get the boys together, I do not expect a dime.

If they approach meabout takin them out, my standard answer now is "I'd be happy to make the time to take you guys fishing, but I have to ask for some money to help with the fuel costs, it's gotten really bad at the fuel dock lately." And no one has ever had an issue with that.

I took a guy and his son out, he had been after me for quite some time to take them fishing. So I took the day off and we went out in pea soup Monomoy fog. I caught them their limit of really nice bass, bait, tackle, etc. and gave them 8 hours on the water. I felt the $20 at the end of the day was really kind of weak. That's when I developed the standard answer found above. Shame on me for not addressing it before the trip, but I have learned from that now.

We fish several tournaments each summer and our arrangement wiht my crew is I provide the boat, fuel, and all the tackle I have. They feed us, drink us, and cover all the entry fees including all the calcuttas. It works & I am comfortable with that.

The problem lies in when we win cash, which we have. I think I will start a thread on that come to think of it....... I think I have been too generous in the past....

Absolutely !!!
Thats what I do.
Even if we have a bad day, with not much fish caught and lots of gear lost, thats the deal!!!
So my bud here on this site (you know who you are)
No more hiding money in my truck after we have been out for the day and the day wasn't so good !!!

Then there's allways the guy you take out like a co/worker who came out cod fishing with me a few winters ago.
He knew the deal ahead of time (that i was selling)
Did little fishing and the next day at work, pissed and moaned behind my back that he wanted a cut !!!
LETS GO BRANDON
