Well as many of you may or may not know, saltwater fishing isn't easy. Fishing anywhere isn't always easy but the ocean lets you cheat and I'm going to let you know how to take advantage of it. First you're going to need a fishing rod, a big spinner should do. Make sure to put some strong braided line on it as well. Don't forget some wire leader as well because sharks tend to bite through everything else. For bait, use squid or any kind of fish and attack it to your leader with a big hook. So here some the hardest part, first you have to figure out where to cast and second, you have to be patient. If you have a boat you can drop your line in any deep water and if you're on a beach you can just throw it out there. Shark fishing is my favorite fishing, its easy and the fight is amazing. I've done it from shore, from boats and it is by far the easiest and most satisfying fishing I've ever done.

I went fishing a few days ago and I told myself I wouldn't just go shark fishing, that I'd try and get some king mackerel and wow was that a mistake. First of all I had to attach mono leaders to my braided line and let me tell you, that's not fun. After I finished off setting up the rods and getting some live bait for the trip I had to attempt bump trolling in the middle of a shipping lane. My boat isn't very big and transport ships are huge and move a lot of water. So not only was I constantly rocking from the normal movements of the ocean, I was dodging the wake from these boats. It led to a lot of pricked fingers and a lot of stress but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was I didn't catch anything more than my bait. I didn't even get a bite!

So now I think I'll just stick to shark fishing because that's the way to go and it never leads to a disappointing trip.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
