I laughed myself silly when I first read this. I then shared it with a neighbor who is married to a Scottish Gal. He got a good laugh so I felt it worth sharing. BTW, my wife is also Scottish by way of the Tennessee Scots. THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU MARRY A SCOTTISH GIRL Three friends married...

I am not trying to start a debate here. I try to keep up as much as possbile with US politics. But my beloved republican party is sure making a mockery of the primaries. 17 candidates and climbing. Trying to make an educated informed decision is gonna be a full time job. Between the sheer...

I am in the process of setting up 2 bait casters for blade baits (Vibe style) as well as jigging raps. There are so many options available that I am a bit confused and hope that someone here has some input to share. Currently, I have 2 bait casters, an old high speed diawa bought in the early...
