Yeah ill have to Google it to find one. Not much fishing in the direct vicinity of where I live haha. Especially in this California drought which closed some recreational lakes.

Has anyone had any problems with the styrofoam cups blowing over? I'm looking to transplant my VFT this coming spring, I have been wondering if it would be a problem. Also what is everyone using for the tray, for both the cups and the coolers? Ty

I use cat litter trays or similar trays about 3-4" high but they don't hold up to more than a year or 2 of Sun before getting easily broke due to fragility. I bunch my Styrofoam cups together in those so they don't really blow over.
