Thread: How not to be invited again....

So, what are peoples rules/piss off points, when you invite someone out for a fish, that either leads to a chat or just not inviting them again?





By the way, this is meant as a "if you are invited, please do this or not" type of thread. Trying to make the fishing better for all.

If someone brings ungutted butterfish back to my boat (spearfishing), they get one warning. After that, no more invites.

Sooo many reasons,don't know where to start,

Most out there twat requested that we only fish for an hour so that he could be back on shore,so he can be at an appointment with his accountant,
announced this just as we set of from boat ramp in boat. FOUGHT EVERY URGE IN MY BODY NOT TO HAVE A SHIT FIT. Arrrgh

wont help out with the cleaning of fish
wont eat fish
changes hook/bait lure every ten minutes
goes back and slaughters the spot...kills everything caught, regardless of size of condition

Bring bananas on boat ( ment to be baad luck)
doesnt help clean boat and gear after finishing fishing ,
Not helping out paying for gas for boat.

Just a few i can think of at the moment.

My favourites are not offering to help clean the boat and not sharing "their" part of the catch if I caught F all.
We all want to kick back and relax after a day out on the water but as you guys will know, there is a heap of work left to do before you can put the boat away and the fish in the fridge or oven.

I get seasick very easilly, so am trying to edumacate myself to politely decline invitations
Last thing I want is to ruin a trip

Me too Pengy. Have you tried taking sealegs ? helps me.
Great time to find out you get seasick, after you buy a boat

I only took people who I knew would be good company, could drive a boat, back a trailer and bait their own hooks and generally be self sufficient.
Cleaning the boat etc was a job I prefered to do myself

I can be good company. Can sort of drive a boat. Cant back a trailer to save my life, but you still took me out

It will be their first and last trip if they decide to have a rant about the state of the economy or politics in general, I like to get on the water and remove myself from that shit talk that dos'nt achieve anything apart from distracting my attention from the fishing.

And if they ever use the word "woke" in general conversation, their dead to me.

Fair enough..BUT, do you have the courtesy to mention that before embarking or do you just rely on their ability to read your unspoken mind?

Failing to Salute,or even worse a sloppy salute.

"Long way up,short way down" how hard is it?

Not getting over side to hold boat while you go get tractor and trailer in calm water beach launching .

Took one guy out and when we got back to the ramp he wouldn't get out of the boat till I had winched the boat up onto the trailer. There is a floating pontoon between the ramps but he wouldn't budge till I had driven up to the wash down area.
