I like to give 'em the  "Hey, I got it"  and just look back at them. (BTW the "Hey, I got it" thing doesn't work either)

Catching what I can and keeping what I'm allowed.

I have a small boat, 18' CC, so I don't get out off shore and when I go out it is only about 10-15 miles at the most. What burns my ass the most is I take freinds along and they are fine on the ride out. Not long after we stop on a spot, they get sea sick, but the night before when we talked about going they denied getting sea sick. Then they are asking you to pick up and take them in to the dock. Ya right, "boats in the water and isn't coming back to the dock unless I am ready"

I hate pussy wiped popple who bring their cell phones, The phone rings 4-6 times during the trip and it is the spouse wondering when they are going to home.I fish usually all day, I am not coming back to the dock just to drop you off because your wife said for you to be home at a certain time.

The other thing is after a day of fishing, you pull the boat out of the water to the fresh water washdown and all of a sudden they have somewhere they have to be, while I am left to clean the boat. Or on the way home and stopping at the pump. They just sit in the truck looking at how much money you just dumped into the boat and don't even bother helping out.

Or when they are to meet you at the ramp, they call from a gas station and ask you if you would like a candy bar, sub or drinks but never mention anything about helping out on gas or even bait.

I don't get anal about stuff on my boat much, I tell them only to bring 2 poles max and I only take out one or two people with me. I tell them not to bring a cooler, my 105QT is plenty large enough.

I have stopped asking 2 coworkers going fishing with me because of this. Am I wrong or does anyone else feel the same way?

Thanks for the venting topic, great idea guys.
