Welcome Chad! Nice to have help keeping the board flowing smoothly!

The craft store foam eggs worked well for slip floats, especially if you needed a larger size for big minnows or suckers.

Dealer service plays a part? It takes time and money to set up a dealer network, any boat brand can probably have some issues, most customers want them resolved quickly and easily? Doubt if I would have bought a boat with only one dealer within 200-300 miles?

Yes, I meant the pump. My first home, which I bought new had a concrete sidewalk from the drive to the front door, after about 5 years a section of the sidewalk started sinking, restricting the water flow from the sump pump pipe, it had to run longer than normal to get the job done. I had a concrete patio put on the back of my garage, near my outside footer drain crock, a fairly good sized diesel bobcat was used for the excavation, and repeatedly ran over the buried pipe outlet for that causing the same problem. What model of pump? Some seem pretty chintzy to me? No power outage problems?

https://www.amazon.com/Hydromatic-W-A1-Cast-Iron-Sump/dp/B0054K35BW I have 3 of these for my home, one in a crock in my basement, one in an outside footer drain crock, and one in my septic tank. My home is now 27 years old and no problems with the pumps themselves, a couple of float switches have gone bad, but the piggyback style of float switch makes them easy to replace and to keep a spare float switch on hand. I replaced all of them about 5 years ago, same brand, Hydromatic, and same style, my old ones all still work, look kind of roady now, but good enough for emergency spares. Where does your crock drain to? Do you have sidewalks? any of them sinking? Ice or leaves down your gutters?

I used to go to a number of them here, that was pretty much the same way they worked here. Most seemed to be held in a VFW or community center hall before the fishing season got into full swing. One mans trash is another mans treasure? The selection of items could vary widely, hit or miss from year to year.

It looks like a knock off of a floating Rapala?

Yes, real mixed emotions on that, there are only two rivers here in Ohio that feed Lake Erie that I know of that have any kind of a Walleye run, both have special regulations and reduced limits during it. We don't have commercial netting of Walleye here in Ohio anymore, and that seems to have made a greater impact on a sustainable sport fishing population of them? Catching Walleye in our inland lakes can also be a tough deal, most if not all are stocked fish.

The first two seem to have been discontinued? Can't find much info at all on #3.

Nice bass! I was in Largo FLA in 2009, lots of nice looking bass ponds!

For those of you with limited space? you can grow tomatoes, green peppers and such in large flower pots, and you may find them easier to keep weed free than a garden.

Not a surprise to me either, Ontario is bigger than California, with a lot less people, they see them in California.

Cool, glad you had a good time! There is a lot to see and do in Florida!

Rattle, it did used to be great, and Ontario was well represented! We stopped going a few years before I got sick, just seemed better for us to load up 4-6 guys in the van and take a Michigan tour, Jann's Netcraft in Toledo Ohio, BPS in Auburn Hills, and Cabela's in Dundee.

http://www.lungelodge.net/welcome.htm You could try here? The camp owners fish.

No help on locations to try, but 3-4 days on a big lake may not be enough time to figure out where and what to do to improve your catch? Early spring and unstable weather can also be a feast or famine thing? Even late May can be an issue here weather wise. A guide could help on a lake? If you're willing to pay the price?
