Boater vs. non boater

**TnRidge** · 05-12-2014, 09:13 PM

My original post was in reference to some friends at work that sought me out for fishing trips when I had a boat and was on fish , only to drop the ball in return .
You guys on CDC have been great , and I appreciate your advice and sharing a seat in the boat .

Funny you say that I know a guy that when I asked man you like to fish so much why don't you get a boat he said why all my friends have one. Last time I called him to go fishing

I actually had a guy at work ask me when I was going to buy another boat to take him fishing . I asked him the same question you did and got a similar reply . Got another guy on a hunting lease , took him fishing and showed him some good spots . I don't expect anything in return , but It is nice to get an invite once in a while as a gesture of appreciation .
I have always been unselfish when it comes to sharing a hunting or fishing spot and know many of you guys are the same way . Just an observation I have made over the years .
It could apply to many situations besides fishing , when someone wants something .

There's always been givers and takers. Unfortunately, the takers make it bad for everyone.

Ha funny you say that about hunting I narrowed my hunting invites to 1 guy cause we both understand the value of an invite

I think we all experience that from time to time.

Yeah it sucks without a boat. I never had a boat until recently and have been trying for 10 weeks to get motor for it. I know several people with boats but trying to get them to go fishing can be a challenge. Seems they are always going when I can't but can't when I want too.

Same goes for drinking buddys.I gave up drinking 26 years ago.Been dry since and my (friends) quickly faded into the sunset

I always have to look at my giving as a gift given without anything expected in return.
