Baitcasters or Spinning Reels are the way to go?

         Do you like to fish? Me personally, I love to go fishing. It is one of my many hobbies and definitely one of my favorite things to do. I’ve gone fishing with family and friends in both freshwater and saltwater.  Each time I went out I had an absolute blast, even if sometimes I didn’t catch anything. As I got more into the sport, I learned a lot of cool tricks and important knowledge when it comes to frequently catching fish and not just praying for a bite.

        The first fishing setup that I used was a spinning reel. It is able to open from the bill and you can control your casts with the spool, a way to learn to fish very easily. It is also the renown setup for beginner anglers. The first fishing I ever caught on this type of setup was a little bluegill. You can always count on those guys to bite when nothing else will. In the short passing of a few years I managed to catch a decent amount of bass, trout, catfish, saltwater fish, and of course the occasional bluegill.

    On my salt water fishing trip, I used this setup as well. It was a nice big rod with a thick spinning reel. The reels bill style allowed me to drop my bait into deep water a lot faster than I would be able to on a baitcaster reel. I was able to change baits a lot faster with this setup than with my baitcaster setup. Personally I would recommend this style to anyone who wants to start their own fishing journey.

        When it comes down to it, if you wanna do it, do it man. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to cast or know how to tie a lure. Watch a YouTube video it’s 2025 guys, we have the technology to do anything. One thing I am excited about is I will be going to see my grandmother for the Fourth of July and I will be bringing home all of my grandpas old fishing gear. Man does he have some old school stuff. All I know is that I’m gonna be fishing for the rest of my life and I will never regret it for a moment. Hopefully I’ll catch a new PB fish of whatever cause it’s all fun to me.

    It's really cool that you'll inherit your grandpa's old equipment. I'm not much one for tradition, but I do appreciate hobbies being shared through generations. I've got a lot of good memories fishing with my father when I was young.

    My go to is always a good old spool type spinner! I'm more of a trout fisherman, and mostly fish rivers. Ive used a bait caster set up only once, while salmon fishing in Alaska. Ive always found the spool type to be easier and more efficient. Hopefully you catch some monsters over 4th of July weekend! Enjoy and cherish those old poles!

A SUPERCAR YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT!

   The 1989 Cizeta Moroder V16 T was built in Modena, Italy, under the knowledge of the public. It was a beautiful and complex piece of machinery created by Claudio Zampolli and Giorgio Moroder. Zampolli was a genius mechanic working for Lamborghini until he wanted to start his own company. After having moved to the states, Zampolli created Automobili Cizeta. On the other hand, Moroder was an Italian music producer and composer given the nickname the “Father of Disco.”  Open Link (in new window)      Their creation was one of the coolest and sleek in design, while staying exceptional in both performance and luxury. It wowed all car enthusiasts with its v16 engine and high speed range of over 200 miles per hour. It only came in a few colors, but the most iconic color was red. The color was accompanied by an identical red to match or a smooth dark black. They both were made of a luxurious leather interior with a 5 speed manual. Top speed was maxed at 205 mile...

Food Safety

           Food safety is an extremely critical and important practice. It keeps your immune system strong and body safe. I have been sick many times but only a few were from food poisoning thank goodness. I got sick after eating Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Burger King. It felt like my stomach was wanting to kill itself each time. Overall, fast food will always have its risks when it comes to “freshness” or “healthiness.”                                         Link     I’ve worked at In-N-Out before. I worked there for a little over 2 years throughout my high school career. The company took extreme measures to ensure freshness and maintain its quality. Every burger that I ever had was awesome, the fries awesome, and yes I know the whole secret menu. The company took pride in their product for every consumer. Though it was “fas...

Music and Football?

     Today I read two blogs online on my iPad. One was a TMZ sports blog about outfits of arriving players and the upcoming battle of the super bowl. The other was about hip hop music growing to be a bigger part of the super bowl. It was cool news to see that exciting things still randomly happen in the world. To everyone’s surprise, Kendrick lamar will be performing at halftime featuring SZA also!! They are two of the most popular artist right now. Open Link (in new window)      How can me reading one blog about events that will happen and things that have happened affect my perception on topics a hardly cared for? I felt excited after reading some things in the blogs. One player of the team had the audacity to wear the other team’s color while entering the event. It felt like I could feel a invisible rivalry through my screen. I am not a person who really cares for super bowl events or top artist but I felt something inside me that almost felt like care ...
