Im interested in getting some opinions. If your going fishing with someone who has a boat and truck and they are
driving say 30 miles one way to fish. How much money for gas do you think a guy should give them?
thanks

$20 wouldn't be unreasonable especially if gotta run big motor
Offer to bring lunch and drinks or offer to buy lunch on the way home.
Me personally if it's my boat I don't expect anything (I'm a little funny that way) and if I'm going with someone I just ask how much (again a little funny that way)
I fished with a buddy from work for 13years and can't recall a time when he asked me for anything and the funny thing is is when I got my boat and took him and another buddy fishing they insisted on paying their part 1/3rd each--again I didn't expect it nor asked for it but it was appreciated.
I usually give Frank 20 and bring the food and drinks cause by the time you pay for gas and oil for the boat and pickup,it cost alot to go to the lake anymore.Plus the investment of owning the rig.(he has never asked for a dime )If we fish a tournament ,I pay the entry fee plus food and drink.Just seems fair to me.
Aw, 2 maybe 3 hundred would do!!I'll pick ya up in da morn'n.:biggrin
not that I "WANT" anything but its cost me about 60-80 bucks to get on the water. and I live 45 minutes away. its better every other trip or so say you need to stop at the gas station and fill the truck up for them no matter how low it is. that means more than anything
I live in Clinton and even if going to Bucksaw or the Osage I will spend $30-$40 in gas for boat and truck. Tournament days I will end up spending between $75-$100 not counting oil which is well over $20 a gallon now. Never really thought about it before but I go 12-15 times a month and that adds up to a lot of money for a dang little fish that I don't even eat.
I live 100 miles from Bucksaw, meet at my house come back to my house to clean fish, buy minnows. It is a $80.00 to $100.00 trip $40.00 is not unreasonable. If ya think it is then you do not have a boat, trailer, and truck to maintain! The IRS will give over .50 cents a mile deduction on tax's. Thats over $100 just for the vehicle to get there and back, if it was not worth that then the IRS would surly not give that! Wish I had enough money to cover everything all the time! Just an offer to pay is the same as paying in my opinion, if I don't want it I will not take it!
Meet up with Jared, Bob, or any of ya at Bucksaw with my boat, don't want a thing, enjoy meeting and fishing with new people. Just my two cents worth!
Jared you don't even want to go to the price per pound, even if you have a great day!

Get to try other methods that way. Mark I am a trip up on you so this fall or when ever you get time we will have to get out.
I am very lucky to have a fish buddy like the one ive got. We try to split all of it. He dont own a boat has in the past. We have fished broke equip.ect.Some times he gets the short end on gas but he syas hey, you maintain the boat ins ect. and you keep it up on repairs , just last mo. was over 500dls. It takes for him to come from spfd.to willard to stk and run a 60hp about 30dls a trip plus tackle. So if you just ride. Open your wallet. It cost to have a good trip.This day and time I donot think 30dls is out of line. If You dont like it buy your own boat and trk. &INS ON BOTHQuote:

Well saig feesh. Works for us.Quote:

Thanks for the replies guys. Gives me a pretty good idea. Guess ive been being a little on the cheap side with my 10 or 15 bucks.
Yah I had a guy who wanted to go with me all the time. I'm always ready to go but after about the fifth or sixth time and he hand't even offered to chip in, and then he had the audacity to get lippy when I pulled my hat off and ask for a chip in. I didn't even say 20 bucks or whatever hell even something if a guy is broke its the thought that counts (he wasn't broke just greedy btw) so needless to say he and I don't fish together. If your throwing in 15 bucks thats nice, but 20 25 bucks is a little closer. Hey something is better than nothing though.
yeah, with gas being 3.10-3.55 per gallon i would say 10-15 bucks is on the lite sideQuote:

I fish with 3 or 4 guys and each has his own boat, so we just take turns, if I am taking mine, I tell them to stop at mcdonals and get two sauage/biscuit for ron and I, and we do the same when we go with them..... and all of us donate our boats for putting in beds,etc.... used to have a friend come over from Kansas and fish with me, never expect anyone to pay, I am going anyway, well couple years goes by, and haven't opened my glove box, finally looking for something and opened it up and there were 4 20's in there, still mad at him for that...... Thank you Mr. Bob Cheek.....
Don't forget the stops at Golden Corral, I know Ron was famous in thereRoflQuote:
