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.

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.
