Comments about Smart Destinations Great Smokey Mountain Fish Camp with Tubing:

The scenery here is amazing and I'm sure the fishing is great. The problems we encountered were that the owner is far too conceited, self centered, and unprofessional. We found it hard to even ask simple questions without receiving a demeaning response. The owner exclaims throughout his website that he is "the world renowned fisherman" and the "best bass fisherman in the world" however when asked what the fish were biting on he simply said "everything." While in the outfitter eating a $9.00 "gourmet" sandwich we witnessed the owner berate his employees with a tirade of cussing about the price of a gas cap and the time to get it ordered. [$] After leaving the outfitter we stopped at a nearby business establishment where the locals exclaimed their dislike for the owner and did so with very explicative words. My guess is his gas cap cost so much because of his repoir with the locals. In closing, if you enjoy looking at the owner's BMW parked out front, or if you enjoy looking at pictures of the owner leaning against his BMW posted inside, or if you enjoy paying $9.00 for a small sandwich (gourmet...) or if you enjoy being berated when you ask questions about the trip, or if you enjoy looking at the owner's other cars parked beside the building and in plain view for you to see, [$]...go for it.
