In my above post there are several pictures. If u need additional, I will take them when I retrieve this setup on Friday. It works better than I expected.

Correct. As you can see in the picture, two days prior that float had well over 18"s of water below it. TVA pulled the plug and drained the lake. I'm not sure if he was caught while the float was floating or dry.
