My boat, 5 minutes after scheduled meeting time........and I am down the road.
Their boat, they are the captain. Their rules, on everything.
..........hmmm. Maybe that is why I only fish with the same 2 people, other than the wife. Can't remember the last time I was in a boat other than mine.
Creases the hell out of me depending on somebody else to be on time and have good gear.
You need to fish alone, or find more dependable fishing partners. The "talking to" about being on time will never work.
