Guys, My wife has planned a vacation to Florida in the middle of April. It will be in the Sarasota area. I didn't know if anyone near there or lake occachobee would want a fishing partner for the day. I will have my own rods and gear. Just looking to fish a lake I have always wanted to fish. If this would be a possibility please pm me. It will be just myself.

does anyone have any input on the vanndalizer crankbaits, i saw that they compared the 124 model to a bandit 200 has anyone fished these if so how is there quality. Just wanting some input before i purchase, i use bandit 200's quite often were i fish and if these are close to the same movements and depth i will paint them and fish them thanks ben

I have more that enough automotive paint and clears but i am trying to find out from others on here if that would work or not others hobbies are street rods, i have a 1963 Nova and a 1988 Monte carlo ss billiards, collecting cues and playing my wife and soon to be first child, (hopefully a son) but that doesnt matter to much I fish alot at the Coralville resorvour, lake macbride and others if anyoen is in the area send me a pm thanks ben
