I don't charge anything, I am going fishing whether they come or not.
The friendship and the event is all I need.
If someone insists on contributing I may or may not accept, it all depends.
One the funniest and most memorable events was when my neighbour said that he wanted to put gas in the boat.
As the gas went in and dollars signs went higher and higher and my neighbour got quieter and quieter, between the two of us we ended up handing over $175.00 is cash.
No way could I have accepted that from anyone, even if they were a pain in the ass on the boat.
