5 star all the way

I have fished with Fisherman's Choice Charters for the last 9 years. I have always understood how fishing works. I mean, it's not called catching for a reason. I pay to go fishing and if I catch fish, BONUS!! Although, my intentions are to walk of the boat with fish, but there are times it just doesn't happen. If you want a guaranteed fish, go to the seafood market. I had posted a review on yelp in January when I booked my trip for this summer with the family. I have also left reviews for Fisherman's Choice Charters and usually I get a thank you from either Ray or Terri within a few days. This time I never got one. I was pissed. So I called and spoke with Terri about it. She said she never got notification that I left review, so we checked...and You Bet that my 5 star review along with quite a few other 5 star reviews WERE GONE! After I got off the phone I did more searching and found the hidden reviews. Yes they are hidden by YELP, leaving low scoring and very old reviews, and not showing the new ones. So if you are a Yelper and think that all fishing trips catch fish, or for that matter everything goes perfect wherever you are at or going, get real, it's NOT a perfect world and your living in a fantasy world. Ray and Terri try their best to get you on fish, It is not their goal to make sure you do not get fish. They don't like it anymore than you do, like most businesses it's not their intentions to have a unhappy customer/client.

And as for YELP, you guys suck. I looked up other reviews I have left for other businesses and they were invisible as well. So, if you your going to trust YELP's reviews for anything your searching for, don't go by the only reviews they want you to see. Make sure to scroll to the last review and click the gray writing "other reviews that are not currently recommended". This is where you will see recent and genuine reviews of businesses.

My Rant is over and if Terri chooses not to post this, I get it. But I just want people to know that Ray and Terri run a great operation, catching fish or not. They cannot control what bites and when.
