We have fun and we catch fish and a cold beer when we get back on land is awesome. All expenses (gas, bait, ice etc are evenly divided with the group picking up the boat owners share.) Typically 3 days off shore split 4 or five ways will come to 200-300 bucks per person total for all 3 days.

Sounds like a bargain with fuel cost being what it is. How big of a boat are you talking? I've got a 23 footer, but more than 3 people and it starts getting a little crowded. I usually sell the surplus fish to the fish markets to cover costs - it pisses off the local fishermen there selling their own catch, though, when I show up with a cooler slam full of dolphin.
Here in NC, we only need to go 30 miles out to be in dolphin and tuna territory.
BTW, why the Banana clause?
