If you could provide how the crew splits the cost or even general direction on how you run your trips, you'll ensure you get the best fit in crew.
Welcome again!

thanx........
i generally run straight to marlin grounds dragging hi-speed lures all-the-way to bluewater and i cut back on the speed once i hit bluewater if guests wanna try for the 'incidentals' (sails, tuna, dorado, wahoo, kings, etc.) whilst working our way t'ward where i figger bigger game might be lurkin' (their choice)
i would hope that anyone that's interested be willing to pay for their share o'the fuel and show up with @ least 120lbs of ice
i'm usually pretty busy with the boat early in the morning to be runnin' out for ice....... but if need be, i can sometimes get the ice on-the-boat the night before if i figger i'll be gettin' some help with that expense too
can count on an average of 15gph unleaded, more-r-less, depending on how everyone's pocketbook is feeling <vs> the price o'fuel...... run hard/run fast, more fuel
trips usually range form 12 to 16mpg depending on who's willing to do what......... i'll occasionally putter out on short trips at slower speeds and get 8gph, but don't expect to catch near-what-we-would otherwise
i hate to even-leave-the-dock without the intention of puttin' in 12hrs-r-more
it's a bring-your-own-lunch/drinks deal, with however much water you'll figger you'll drink during the day........ i have a 40 gallon freshwater tank, but i only drink bottled water and i also carry enough extra food & water for everyone jest-in-case
I personally don't care to spend any money on snapper-fishing or drifting wrecks for AJs, (what-with-my 'big-game-fishing-fever' being what-it-is), but i do love getting out none-the-less and enjoy seeing other people catch fish (hint)
got everything needed,......... 'cept anglers
