Rattle Bait
Presentations
by Mike Gerry
Many fishermen refer to a rattle bait as an idiot bait, meaning all that is needed is to cast and reel and you will catch fish. If all you are doing is casting and reeling, you’re not fishing.
Sure, when conditions are right for this rattle bait, and most baits will catch fish without any thought into what you are doing. But, if you want the bait to be consistent it is much more than throw and reel. You may hear people say it’s easy bait to fish, and anyone can catch fish with it. Well, I beg to differ, it’s better said as an easy bait to cast but if your fishing, thought and technique must be applied as it should to any bait.
Red Flags and Potential for Abuse
by Christina Hays
Red flags can be a very good indicator that a relationship has the potential to become abusive and even violent. Unfortunately, red flags are not always as obvious as we would like them to be.
Have You Started
Walking Yet?
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
A meme popped up on my social media feed the other day that hurt my feelings a little bit, even though I laughed. It was a picture of Kermit the Frog with a disappointed look on his face as he gazed out of a window. And the caption above him read, “This marks the 11th year in a row that I didn’t make it to the gym.” Yep, it has been a minute since I made it out to the gym. In fact, these days my body and I have agreed to leave the gym for those truly committed folk and just be consistent at going for a walk.
Not Biting, Keys
by Mike Gerry
The unfortunate part of fishing is that we all find days when the fish just won’t cooperate. There
are many reasons, and it happens to us all. The reasons are many, the solutions are few and
sometimes there is just not a good solution, but you have to be persistent!
Choose You
by Teresia Smith
Life is really hard sometimes. There’s no denying that truth. It’s impossible to live a life without enduring some level of hardship or adversity. The past few years have been very peculiar and somewhat overwhelming to many as people have experienced job loss or financial insecurity, fear of sickness, loss of loved ones, loneliness brought on by isolation, food shortages, anxiety from world events, and just a fear of the unknown. This scary and uncertain time can allow worry to seep into our everyday life and fill us with unhappiness. Sometimes, with so much to deal with, just getting up each day can feel like a chore. How can we find our resilience and rediscover our joy?
