I decided to go fishing at daybreak after work today. I found a spot and started fishing, eventually I worked my way over to a dock and started fishing from it. Within 5 minutes some lady comes up to me and tells me i can't fish on the dock, I don't want to cause issues so I moved, that's when I noticed other docks had no fishing signs even though the one I was on did not, that's also when I noticed the signs around the lake saying no fishing from the docks.

I kept walking around and ended up at the beach club, I saw the sign saying no fishing, but i thought that was for the 2 docks actually going into the water, not the part surrounding it, I drop my lure in the water and immediately an alarm sounds and someone tells me over a camera that if I don't leave I'll be trespassed, so again I left.

Finally I end up on the other side, I find a nice spot, and as I'm reeling a fish in some guy comes up to me and says I can fish from the dirt and rocks, but not the sidewalk. Nowhere around the lake is there a single sign saying no fishing from the sidewalks. I was there for about an hour and a half, and was kicked out of my spot 3 times. 2 of them are understandable, even though it seems like an incredibly stupid rule, but the last one pissed me off because the are no signs saying no fishing on the sidewalk.

I really like the daybreak area, and was planning to move in as soon as I'm out of my current place, but after today I don't think it's worth it. What kinda bs is it that I'm paying for the hoa then being told I'm not allowed to fish from half of the lake, it makes no sense to me.

I was looking at baitcaster combos and ended buying the kastking royal legend 2, from what I can see every model they have is a 6'6-7'3 medium heavy rod, the only difference i could see is the color. I've taken it out once so far and I like it but I'm very new to fishing as a whole, so I have no comparison to a quality baitcaster. I figure if I use this one enough to wear it out then I'll get a daiwa or Shimano or something. As far as cheap beginner baitcasters go, is there really a difference between the kastking models, is there one that's stands above the rest, or are they all more or less the same?
