Most times when plan a trip i'm going regardless of a deckie or not, but i'll let people know and if they want to come, great, someone to talk crap with all day and be a bit competitive with. I'll have enough food and bait for anyone coming and generally take more than enough rods and gear for a few people anyway, just in case!
If when we get home and the deckie gives some money, i'll instantly buy a carton that i will share with the deckie as we clean the boat and fish and then continue with the carton over a feed of the fish we caught together, with the deckie generally offering their bbq.
The majority of people i take out enjoy fishing but don't own a boat, or they would take their own. I take pride in trying to get them onto some fish because it's not something they can do as often as me (with my own boat). The only time i will ask for money is if someone else really wants to go but i don't, then i will get them to pay for fuel, while i still supply food, bait and the gear. The few times i've done this the deckie has done this and still slung me some cash. Maybe i've just fluked good deckies?
