Extreme Bait-Cast Reel Proved Itself at Our Big Bass Pond In Florida

Russ wanted me to remember that he has about all the froggie lures and worms that Bass Pro sells in their new Port St Lucie store, but now also wants an Extreme Bait-Caster I loaned him for a morning of fishing for lunkers!

 

Fishing buddy Russ Barrus, a Veteran Military  man as well as big bass angler popped a good one today!

Aptravelnews-New Fishing Product–March 8th Port St Lucie, West-FL.—When it comes to bait casting reels, every angler would agree that quality and simplicity, but also brawn, besides the ability in having great finesse,  is highly sought after by not only tournament anglers but weekend warriors as well! So, Bass Pro Shops has come out with another great reel that fits the bill described above in its Extreme Baitcast Reel. Take a look at the images attached to this post, this 6-pound largemouth pulled as hard as a 6-pounder can especially in weed choked waters, but it came ashore nicely when handled by this 12-pound test fitted reel. The settings on drag, the large easy to manipulate star drag, the casting tension pressure used with the anti-reverse Cast Control Knob, he Powerlock Anti-reverse is a special bearing that only lets the handle turn forward. The reel is tight, but nimble! There is a Dual Breaking System and very important on a quality reel such as this is a 1-PC Aluminum Frame & and Aluminum Spool. The reel handles 12-pound test line like a champ and there is no bass alive that can break the line on this reel if the drag is properly set. The Extreme Bait-Caster sells for under a hundred bucks, and I’ll leave it to you when you visit Bass Pro to find out how much lower than $100 it is.

Whether or Not You Like The Weather, You Are Stuck With What “M.N.” Throws at You

ALASKA HELicopter

APtravelnews-March, 4th, Crossville, TN.-The word from our other neck of the woods (we are snow-birds, FL. winter, TN. Spring, Summer, Fall) is that tragically, 30 people died from the recent horrendous weather TN. has experienced. We got our power back at the farm rather quickly after the storm almost two weeks ago, many other thousands have just now gotten their power back. Most people have electric heat and it was quite a drain on folks to just stay warm. Well, Gore was right; climate change and the heating of the planet Mars is now on-going! Whew! Many, many people would have wished he was correct about earth this past week.

One thing for sure, I’ve heard  from my talking horse, Miss Kitty, that Barb and I have enough downed trees and limbs on our farm to keep our two chainsaws busy for a month. The benefit side is we do burn wood, the downside as we are getting a bit older now is cutting wood and stacking it warms you twice; when you cut it and stack it and when you finally burn it! But, that’s OK! This is how I get some great exercise and lose that weight I gain when eating at restaurants for this website.

Bob Evans, Got Breakfast? Yes and a Whole Lot More!

Aptravelnews-March 4th,-Port St. Lucie, FL-Bob n Barb “Stopping to Smell the Roses”--This morning we headed to Bob Evans this morning for breakfast. Once in awhile, we enjoy eating out. So today we decided to try the large chain, but family owned, (we do not write about chain, “big boxes” unless they are great, and none of them are great, just some very good ones) Bob Evans Restaurant in Port St Lucie West, Florida. Omelettes and crepes and one thing for sure, coffee was hot and the orange juice tasted like orange. We certainly enjoyed our experience here. We told the manager that we can recommend this restaurant to anyone we know, yes we certainly can! We had Blueberry Crepes, and a Farm Omelette with mushrooms and spinach-delicious! Their grits were great, and a taste of their pancakes too, convinced me that we can always go back!
