Re: Redhot fishing charter - do not use them

Whatever. Bad reviews do that. You give S#!^ service you sabotage yourself. If you've ever run your own business you'd know that, and if you have run your own business you probably would get bad reviews also. Owned and operated a Tackle Shop, did the lecture circuit, and did guiding cod. Built hund...
