To respond to a fishing invitation when you say you will.

1 - Basic good manners. The person issuing the request took the time to
think of you.

2- The person who invited will not sit arround the night before waiting for
the promised response.

3- Someone else could have been invited

4- The invitor would not have to spend and entire day fishing w/o a partner

5- The invitee would not have missed the two five pounders, two four
pounders and
numerous 3s that were taken. Especially missing a great spot on his
home lake (which will now never be shared). And lastly

6- It's just plain rude to say you'll call someone, ignore the call date and
never respond at all. !

Can you tell I'm aggravated ?
