We have a good free paper that is distributed all up and down the coast. Its one of those papers you can pick up free that people can put things they have for sale, events and interesting articals about upcoming events and such, and even that is free. Its grown into quite a good paper over the years. Well, when a new business starts up in the area, they will send out a reporter and interveiw the owner and do a small write-up about them and the business. I figured that my guide service was new so I contacted them and they came out and I launched the boat and they interveiwed me and took about 20 pictures. Now, this is all free, so I shouldnt complain, but this is what happened.<br /><br />First, the reporter, (a Man), Sent me a printout of the artical he wrote, Well, It was so pourly written and had so many mistakes, that I had to practically rewrite the whole thing. I sent it back to him and he said it was fine and it would run in about a week. Well, it came out yesterday and I was all excited about it untill I read it. It was so scewed up that it made me look like a comlete idiot. One thing I mentioned in the artical was that there was just a tournament held here at the lake and the winning weight was 25 1/2 #s and I made it clear that it was a 6 fish limit. Well, he printed that I thought that Tenmile was the best Bass lake in the state, (And it is), and that there was recently a 25# Bass caught there. Ive already got three phone calls telling me Im an Idiot. Also, the picture had to be the worst one that he took, makes me look like a slob, and I cant imagine anyone wanting to even be seen with me, let alone want to go fishing. Like I said, it was free, but I think it actually may have hurt my business.<br /><br />Bummed!!!!!!!!!!!!
