I have edited my post.
Its obvious that my point was not taken correctly. I dont regret my original post, at all. Im glad it got some attention!
IMHO, to see a charter business continue to suggest local shops are priced too high, to shop at large retailers ( non sponsors), is no doubt a shot at ALL sponsors here. My post was meant to suggest that the very same small charter business who mentioned it more than once, also has larger competition, that customers can benefit from . Since a handful of people are not seeing the true meaning behind my post, its unfair to leave it up, since it was
not about their boat being "no good". It was never meant to suggest his boat is not catching fish. It was a comparison. Do the math:
6 customers limiting out, compared to 60 customers limiting out...yes,
the big boats catch more fish. It proves how a comment can hurt a business. Just like his comments about Dick's being cheaper than tackle shops.
My comment was a general statement, I was trying to say......Dont forget where your coming from!!! You too are a small operation and can be hurt by a bigger one! Nothing more or less.
I dont offer much Gulp anymore and I dont sell Spros......it was never about me. It was about the industry and the shops who do rely on those products! I am fed up with these large retailers and how they actually make more of a profit on you the buyer, than we do! Yet they are praised??!! I lost my cool, I admit it.
