Amen to everything said. One time I took a guy that BEGGED me to take him, to a certain spot, fishing a certain way, and afterward didn't even offer to help pay for truck gas, boat gas, launch fees, etc. Then I felt like the fool for even obliging him, and I said never again. I laughed out loud at some of these comments because they ring SO TRUE!
OK, it's true that some of my best fishing memories were when I've taken the wife, daughters, grandkids etc, but it's seldom that they can go. My reason for fishing alone is not that I don't want a buddy there with me. I often ask guys if they want to go, and invariably they do, but when it comes down to making plans, they don't.
I go by myself where I want, when I want, quit when I want, and pee when I want.
