I like the company of others and really enjoy fishing with friends. Fishing can be a wonderful shared experience. I used to guide many years ago and that's not always the best time... Since clients are paying you, they expect you to give them the best day fishing they've ever had, no matter how the fish feel about it. I've also gone back to fish the same spot a couple of days later and found my "client" fishing on the spot we went to with one of his buddies. So, I don't love that part of it.

These days, there's only one seat in my kayak. I get to fish wherever I want, for as long as I want, at the speed I want, with whatever lure(s) and techniques I choose to, and there's something to be said for that.
