Re: Deckie etiquette/rules
I had an a$$h#loe in-law who wouldn't kick in for anything, wouldn't help wash the boat or clean up, wanted to keep under size fish, when he caught a SMALL flattie he would whack it against the side of the boat to release it. When I had a go at him he said its only a tinnie, that's when it hit the fan, a quick trip back to the ramp and he was never invited again, that was land based as well.

Re: Deckie etiquette/rules
What a nightmare! My mate always brings everything without me even saying. If it's a night session he will bring dinner, drinks. Day lunch water, all bait and burley and helps wash and pack the boat so I can't complain.

Some Skippers etiquette can be bad too.
Here is a mate (the Skipper) with all and sundrie at his feet. His "tackle box" is two buckets , , , , when he is trying to find/get something from the bottom , , , , it all gets placed on the deck , , , , ggggrrrrrrrr
Grrrr, Bugatti

Re: Deckie etiquette/rules
Confession :
I remember I made a friend freshly came from WA and took him landbased fishing around ViC, later on he told me he's got a boat drove it all the way from WA. He took me out on his boat few times. That was my first time fishing on a boat (that is not a charter boat).
Got no clue what to do, often I stood there watching and doing nothing. One time I tried to help him reversing into a tight garage the boat scraped the garage door.
On the last trip I brought the ice and hosed the boat or trying to (completely no idea), thinking it wasn't enough, after the trip I messaged him and offered him some money but never got the chance. Learnt the lesson there still feeling guilty.

Reversing trailers and having boat licences big advantage!

OFFER FUEL don’t wait to be asked to put ur hand in ya pocket I don’t ask for coin but I don’t invite free losers out a second times
