Grouper Dogging Tow Behind to Find the Rock Caves

Aptravelnews- May 11th, -Warm waters of the Florida Keys-When Brian told me about him and his friends going “Grouper Dogging”  (these guys make great grouper sandwiches) I asked him to tell me all about this variation on fishing “the rocks” we did for 34-years when we lived and fished in the Keys, at least 4-times a week. Well, the idea as Brian explained it is, you get a sacrificial rod and reel, a reel with a real good drag, you hook a DOA to 50-pound test, add a piece of ballyhoo for scent, swim down to where there are rocks, drop the DOA into a rock opening, the grouper whacks it, you pull like heck, the drag whines audibly even underwater, your dive buddy puts the net under or into the fishes face or backend and voila, no holes in the fish, you can catch and release, or if your doing super Craig’s Restaurant fish sandwiches, you hold onto this very fresh grouper. If you can’t find a grouper hole, scare a grunt, watch which hole he goes to hide in and then drop your bait there-the grunt gave away the groupers hidey hole!

OK! I did this in the Keys looking for Florida crawfish (lobster to the uninitiated) where I was dragged behind a boat (trolled) on a dive board and when I spotted the crawlers or their hangout, I’d let go of the board, slide under and bag one or two for dinner. Same deal, (see picture) when the guys see a likely bunch of rocks, they go underwater spin- fishing there, as explained above!  A new twist on spin fishing, you bet it is!

Hi tech, yes! Simple to use? Yes! Take your bead and shoot a laser dot at can and it jumps up and falls over if you hit the “sweet” spot!

APtravelnews-New Products-May 5th, /Cinco De Mayo at Goose Holler’ Farm-Target shooting has always been a favorite of mine! Now anywhere you like; in motel room, at home, with friends at the “Man Cave” teaching mom and kids how to aim and shoot, friendly safe competition, etc. You now have the new Laserlyte Pro trainer! The package comes with three Laser activated cans that fall over when shot with the Laser LT-PRO compact pistol.

The Laser, when the trigger is pulled blasts the can with a light dot, and if it is hit dead -center, the can flips over by the activated trip- leg built into the can bottom. You can sharpen your aiming skills, quick-draw, compete with friends and kids, and really save money on Ammo.

After the cans are shot and fall over, you simply stand them up again and your ready to blast away again and again for as long as you like. The Training pistol gives real trigger control experience and you can teach gun safety in the comfort of your home or anywhere you like-totally legal and fun anywhere. Its quiet no neighbor hassles, The pistol briefly shines a laser dot and marks the shot when the sound activated switch is triggered. The pistol is similar in size to most smaller 9mm pistols. For more information and how you too can enjoy plinking indoors without ticking off your wife, who Im sure will want to shoot with you too, go: www.laserlyte.com
