Here's what you do if they dont show. You drive to there house and go right into there room and rip them outa bed and say "Morning ol' buddy." lol Nothing worse than waiting for someone while watching drift boats cruz up the road ahead of you.
Fishing alone is the best method because you got total control on how long you want to fish and were. =)

P.S
If you have a great fishin partner like some of us, dont let em go!
