Driftboat,
Your buddies are taking advantage of you all the way.
1.)You should NEVER have to even ask them to help split the cost, they should offer.
2.)Even after helping offset the cost, they should offer to buy you lunch or something.
3.)a person can`t be taken of advantage of unless they allow it.
4.)Find some new fishing buddies.
