For about an hour we could hardly keep up! It was awesome, it wasn't fishing -IT WAS CATCHING. Within an 1.5-2 hrs we had already maxed our daily limit! I've NEVER done that so quickly. We caught 3 HUGE mamas too that ALMOST Michigan master angler size (only 2 inches off ), that was the peak moment of the trip. My brother & I booked this charter for our Dad for Father's Day, since somehow he had NEVER been walleye fishing. Needless to say this was the best first walleye fishing experience we could have had! Prior to booking I hopped on a call with Captain Ben & he was awesome, answered all my questions & got us booked with ease. A few days before, he checked in with me & reminded me to get our Ohio 1 day licenses - which I'm grateful for because I wouldn't have remembered He cleaned our walleye haul super quickly & did a great job, bagged em & we were on our merry way back home before 10 am! I highly recommend booking with Net Dreams & Captain Ben. You will be MORE than satisfied. Thanks Captain Ben & Heather !!

Unprofessional behavior and poor communication have cost me significant time and money. Want a couple examples? Read on... Last season, the marina was to winterize my boat. I left it in the water longer than I normally do, so I was in a hurry to get it done. In addtion, they were to work on some other items for me at the same time. I called, and said that the weekend weather was going to be near freezing, so I wanted to make sure it could be stored indoors. On Thursday, the woman working (who no longer works there) told me that I could bring the boat down and they would be sure to get it inside, as long as I pre-paid for my service. I called back later to verify their hours, then brought the boat in on Friday evening after work. There was nobody at the marina. I left the boat outside, called the marina, left a voicemail, and verified that I had heard the hours correctly. I had. The voiccemeail also said that they would be in on Saturday morning. Not wanting to chance it, I showed up first thing Saturday morning, only to find that (again) nobody was there. Left another voicemail, but nobody called me back. My boat sat outside, the temps dropped, and I incurred significant extra damages. When I finally spoke to someone the following week, their response: "Oh, the voicemnail still has our summer hours. We are in our winter schedule now". Fast forward to my repairs: They had also prepared an estimate to replace the brakes on my trailer: over $3,000! Between the boat & trailer job, parts were backordered, mechanics were at the boat show, another mechanic ended up down & out with covid, you name the excuse, and they used it. Long story short, it's now April 2023, and my repairs STILL aren't completed. They finally got my boat done in AUGUST, which gave me about a five week season. I said to forget the trailer work for now. I just wanted to pick up my boat and get it in the water. They didn'tso much as offer a discount for causing me to miss 2/3 of the boating season. Not to mention the extra damages caused by the miscommunication of hours last fall. Needless to say, I was not happy. But they had a lot of staff turnover, and Will & Megan had always been good to work with in the past, so I still planned to winterize with them this season. After turning in my winterization form on Monday, Pam called me on Tuesday, saying that I could drop the boat off Wednesday. I verified the hours personally, then told her I'd be there early the next morning. As I was about to pull out of the driveway, she called me & said that she would need to cancel, because they were full & had "nowhere to store my boat". I informed her that I had adjusted my work schedule based on the information she had given me LESS THAN 24 HOURS EARLIER. When I asked why she couldn't have let me know that the previous day, she stuttered & stammered, and had no good reason. After I expressed my displeasure at the lack of communication & the unprofessional way that the situation was handled, she began yelling at me, before telling me "fine, bring your boat down, and I'll find somewhere to put it". She then hung up on me before I could even respond. Needless to say, I will NOT be bringing my boat to them, today or EVER. The next two marinas I called for winterization services were both happy to get me in immediately, and their prices were about 30% less. The also quoted a complete brake job, based on the make & model of my trailer. It was under $2,000. Humbug has become a dysfunctional marina that only seems concerned about getting their money. The funny thing is, if their customer service wasn't so poor, I'd still be paying their inflated prices. Do yourself a favor: Get a second quote before you take your boat to them. And if you do business with them, be prepared for the "unexpected issues" that will arise.

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

We had three young children with us. You enter through the main pool area and walk to your right out a set of doors. There is a large pool area that is sectioned off for different uses. There is a gradual entry area with a water playground for kids, this is connected to the main part of the pool that gets about 5 feet deep. There are 2 slides that you have to be 48 inches to ride. The lifeguards have a break for 15 minutes after 45 minutes of swimming. All kids have to get out of the water. While waiting there are lots of lounge chairs, a snack shack offer ice cream, hot dogs, pretzels, etc. along with a playground and swing area for the kids. There are also two indoor areas you can take the kids to play with the frog pool for younger kids and the indoor water playground.

I went for aqua aerobics. These signs were on the wall for motivation.

The friend we were meeting is a local so she was able to get a reservation for the 11am-1pm time slot, which is apparently reserved for locals. It wasn't too crowded and was the perfect activity for a very hot summer day. My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean. My sons are asking when we can go to Michigan just to go to this again so I can imagine if we were locals we would be there quite a bit.
