well sense all my friends dont have a boat and no one ask me to fish with them i dont have to worrie about this lol but the back of my boat gets alot of different people in it , then as season goes i burn them all out and start going alone , which is not all that bad ><((((*>

Out of my fishing buddies, I'm the only one with a boat. That being said, I have no problem letting them take control up front. For me, its about the fishing. If he wants to run the TM all day long, I just adapt and find a technique that I can catch them on while he covers water like a mad man with the TM. 

 

I like having control of my boat, but I also like to let someone else learn how to do it. Time on the water is time on the water for me, regardless of whether I'm in control or not.  

I don't mind fishing out of someone else's boat as long as we have similar fishing styles, and that person knows how to operate a boat.  Too many times I have been paired with someone that likes to boom and zoom a spot, or that has no idea how to handle a boat.
