I would like to find fishing mates, enjoying friendship and fishing,

love it.
It costs a lot of money to have, maintain, license, and fuel a boat.

I know, and I would like to buy one in some years.

I strongly suggest if you do find somebody willing to take you
fishing in their boat that you be more than generous with fuel
assistance, bring extra munchies and drinks for your host when you
go, and when you get off the water take the time to hep your host
clean and store his boat. If you don't you probably won't get invited
back very often.

I know it well, when I went to other people boats in Italy usually we
divided all expenses.
the same is when we go together fishing with a car. we divide fuel,
food, baits, everithing.
that's friendship. I don't want to take advantage of anybody.
