Backyard Thanksgiving Fun With the Neighbors!

My favorite lures! Al's Goldfish and their new Living Lures are hooking and holding our backyard neighbors.
My favorite lures! The original gold plated Al’s Goldfish and their new Living Lures in baitfish living colors, are hooking and holding our backyard neighbors.

APtravelnews- Bob & Barb “Stopping to Smell The Roses” in our backyard images–November 26th, Port St Lucie, FL-OK! I know, goofy about fishing and all things involved in fooling the finicky and the foolhardy gluttons too! I know Largemouth are touted as being finicky feeders, yet i found a lure group that slays them (I carefully release all top predators, bass are in that category) with ease.  Just 15-feet from our screen door lanai, down a slightly sloping grass backyard, lies a very large rain holding pond. This 10-acre pond is interconnected with several additional ponds in our private, HOA (hate HOA, except the ponds are protected from unabated, indiscriminate catch and take use) neighborhood.  When I want to check out anything I offer it to my dozens of backyard neighbors; Largemouth, giant brim, and the invasive, but fun loving Peacock bass. Of all the many hard and soft lures I’ve tried and had fine success with, nothing has been more consistent in having a neighbor visit their side of the pond mud and weed than by them accepting the invitation I offer with AL’s Goldfish Co. lures. We will also be testing these lures in the Keys with our son and daughter Brian and Diane on our Mako. Stay tuned to see if our old neighbors when we lived in the Keys will come to visit again!   For a good look at AL’s Goldfish Co. go: www.alsgoldfish.com 

Barb loves to fish when she has an edge and doesn't have the whole day to hopefully hook a neighbor with shoulders enough for us to spar with! She has become an Al's lover too!

4 different solid steel movable target sets. Easy breezy to set up in a few moments.

APtravelnews-New Products- November 12th, Goose Holler Farm-Bob and Barb “On the Road Again”-At the recent SEOPA Writers Conference in AL. we found a few items that we just felt our readers should know about. We really like the 4-different targets from Birchwood Casey excellent for use with .22 rimfire rifles and handguns. I did a bit of shooting with my .22 to check sighting-in my new scope. It was fun to see the Gallery, Little Rattler, Sidewinder and Qualifier models perform simply and wonderfully, showing me each “hit” and a few misses too, of course by the sound of the hit and the rotation of the targets that danced nicely to the .22 hits.

This Siege AA Lantern light is a tool for all seasons and all emergency and outdoor reasons.

APtravelnews-Product reviews October 29th, 2015-Over the past few years I have featured several flashlights and battery powered lighting units and here’s another from StreamLight: The Siege AA is a 6-inch high light operating up to 36-hours on three AA size batteries. It offers three white powers and a red steady and blinking light as well. The base has 3-magnets that allow the light to be used as an auto-emergency blinker, it sticks strongly to any iron part on a vehicle. It has a top and bottom hanger hooks, can be dropped from 3-meters up, its IPX Waterproof and it floats. This light is for the outdoors-man and woman, campers, hikers, kayaker’s, hunters take heart; this is your light-period! On low light setting it can go for 37-hours straight on three AA batteries. I love that it floats, and is waterproof, but I also really like the fact that it can be an excellent red S.O.S emergency light that can save lives too! With Five modes of different operational abilities, this light is a must have in, or out of the home to light your way, in or out of emergencies during blackouts and from storm outages. Go: www.streamlight.com and also ask your sports store if they are available and if the salesman or owner says they don’t have it, ask “why not?”
