If I go fishing with someone else. I will pay my half (gas in the boat or the truck), food, drinks or something along that line. Offer to tow the boat and use my truck. Put the total bill together and split it. But I always offer more than half. It's their rig I am using. Money being tight for most people now days, Personally I will always offer more than my half. Miles on the total rig add up eventually.

Use my own equipment. But keep my gear open to my partener. I want them to catch fish also. You lose something of mine (tackle) oh well. That's fishing. Eventually I'll lose or break the bait off anyway. You tie your own knots. I'm not someones knot $&*%@!

If I am taking my rig, I am heading somewhere anyway, so It doesn't matter much. I own a small rig. You pay the food and drink tab for the both of us. That's all I ask of people going with me.

From your original post, I thought you were talking about a first time trip, not a long standing relationship. Dear Abby frequently says: "no one can take advantage of you without your permission!!"

When I go with someone new, I usually outline the trip.........and I try to split at least the gas. Fishing these days is expensive, and splitting those expenses makes going easier.

A friend who has been going for 15 years and doesn't help out, would not be going with me......I've been there, DONE that..........

Later,

When I get invited I pay the ramp fee if any, and also cover the gas in the boat and the truck, or I use my truck to pull. If I invite someone I always pay and do not expect money in return.

Agreed. Just took me a while to wake up and smell the roses.......and the greenbacks.

I will fix that, and you don't have to tie my knots. But please don't pat my butt. It's still sore from teh new Marine Corps tatoo I got.
