Welcome Southman! Sounds like you are not planning full-timing, (maybe part-timing?) and travelling with just you, your partner, and maybe occasional friends? If that's the case then I'd say a small C or even a B+ might fit your needs. No need for a toad if you are looking in the 24' to 27' foot range. We do pull a toad with RoadAbode, but that's more of a convenience factor with our girls, and not wanting to break camp when we go out. With a B+ or a C, you could just about park right close to those fishing spots. You are giving up some "living room", but if you don't mind being together, it can work. With a slide, you'd probably have more room than we do in RoadAbode with no slides at 29'. If you already have a pickup, Truck campers are getting really comfy these days too.
You got options, and that's a good thing! Good luck, and Peace,
RoadAbode
