Here is a great thread I found about how to never get invited again.

I think quite a few folks should read it and learn if they want to try tuna fishing (or any fishing) on someone else's boat.
If that isn't your cup of tea then buy your own boat, tackle, and fuel and go for it!!!
Bitching on an internet fishing forum isn't going to get you out there anytime soon.
LOL....that's some funny (and mostly true) stuff right there!!! You know, I'm 47 years old, been fishing as long as I can remember and the vast majority of the friends I've taken out are all great, everyone offers to pay and help out. Always a few buttholes that don't get invited back but I don't let the minority dictate my opinion on the majority. I have a small group of guys I go with on a regular basis and it's like clock-work, they know the drill and what the expectations are...they have no issues with it either.
I have a checklist for anyone and everyone I don't know that comes aboard my boat, first a safety presentation (how to use the radio in an emergency, where the life jackets are, how to read the GPS, etc.) then...these are the rules and this is what we're doing today, if they have any issues with it...they don't come - end of story. Not to sound like a dictator, because I'm not, but we don't debate about things, this is not a democracy, it's my boat and my equipment that I've invested around $70,000 in.
Anyone wanna go fishing? Ha-ha-ha...
