Share a seat post.

Hey fellow Anglers,
How about a share a seat post, for those who are either shore bound or those who may just wish to have some company and learn some new things.
Of course proper boat etiquette prevails. A few simple golden rules to abide by:
1. Be sure to offer to assist with fuel and consumables, be it bait or snacks
2. Not a taxi service, so be on time with gear at point of launch
3. Don't assume boat owner has a PFD for your use, take care of your self
4. Ask if there are any things you should be aware of while on their boat ( ie. smoking, crumbs from messy snacks)
5. Always take your trash with you, and help with removing gear when trip is over.
6. Do you or your fishing partner have any medical conditions, such as allergic reaction to be stings, or diabetes, and if so are there items with them so you may assist in an emergency.
Edited as per Almonte's contribution (clearly he has historical data)
7. Do not out fish your host. If you find your numbers are getting close to theirs, take one for the team and cut your line. And then fish without hooks.
8. During photos, be sure to hold his fish considerably closer to the camera, and be sure yours seem considerably smaller.
Have an awesome summer on the water, hope we can mix it up a bit! Put some faces to some names.
Cheers,
Kerrazy.
Btw, I do not have a boat currently, so I am not offering a seat to share.
