I don’t know who the author of this short opinionated article is, but I thought his topic was an important one that should be opened for discussion. If you have a thought or opinion of your own on the subject leave a comment.

That’s one of the benefits of living in the middle of nowhere. That and the fact that there are hundreds of sand pits full of fish close to the town I live in. I love to fish.

That’s probably why I like the kind of wholesale buying I do. I like going to the close out, shelf pull, over stock, store returns kind of auctions, I can feel a weekend fishing trip coming on.

And best of all you don’t have to stock anything! Read more

This week was a home run!

I finally got a day off to go fishing. My computer here at work got a nasty bug that took the tech guy all day to fix. So I took the day off and went fishing. I caught two really nice small mouth bass and I can’t count how many crappie and blue gill. Oh and two catfish. It was a blast! Read more
