I wish it had been candid camera at least I could live with that I'm still in disbelief that there are people out there like that driving the same roads as me everyday.

I fished quite a bit as a Co-angler in the BFL and Everstart series. I did this to learn new techniques and new water for a resonable price. When I drew the boater I was going to be paired with the first thing I did was give him an envelope with my name, hotel and cell phone written on the outside and gas money inside. After that the boater would sometimes discuss the tatics for the next day.

I was just rereading this subject and thinking about the year ahead.
This Advice from Durand Dan about puting money in an envelope with contact information was some of the best advice that I used last year during the BFLs...You could see the Relief on the boaters face when you handed him the envelope with cash in it...It is a great way to break the ice and from that point I felt like the boaters I fished with knew I was squared away.

Just like to add a discussion about netting fish is always in order also.

That's one I usually seem to remember. Try to avoid those 'so and so knocked off my bass' incidents.

I've mentioned this before on netting. Everyone has thier preference on how the situatuion is handled. Some boaters like to net themselves. Some like to guide the fish into the net and others believe the net waiting in the water spooks the fish. It's an important issue to discuss beforehand.
