Deep Sea Fishing Tips
by: Travis Clemens
Deep sea fishing is a wonderful and extremely enjoyable activity. Here are some tips that will make your salt water fishing adventure even better.
1. Watch the signs
If you see birds e.g. Seagulls that are feasting on small bait-type fishes, there are probably larger game-type fish below the surface of the water. Also, look for floating wood or debris. In most cases when you chance upon a large floating wood, you would find a large game fish in the area even encountering dolphin.
2. Stop, Snook and Listen
Fishing for snooks is quite similar as fishing for bass. Snooks like to be around ledges, posts and rocks.
3. Crabs for full moon
During full moons use soft crab imitations as bait. That’s the time when crabs shed their shells and stripers come looking for them.
4. If you’re looking for tunas, find the dolphins
Yellowfin tuna are usually found schooling with dolphins. So if you see a group of dolphins, chances are there are some tuna in the area.
5. Cut and Burn

Learning How To Fish
by: Travis Clemens
You have decided that you want to learn to fish. There are several ways of learning, the hardest being trial and error. It would be best to find an instructor for one-on-one lessons.
1. Buy seasickness medication
Nothing is worse than ruining your fishing because of seasickness. Most seasickness medication e.g. Bonine would be fine. Even seasoned fishermen are known to take some on rough days. Take one before you go to sleep, another when you wake up and a third one before you board.
2. Buy a reference book
A lot of good books are available at your bookstores and online. The book should give you instructions as well as terms and definitions. Some things you may not immediately understand but you should know anyway. Learn how to tie different kinds of knots. This knowledge will be invaluable for other purposes throughout your life.
3. Go to a party
Getting Your Pro Golf Swing Right
July 19, 2008
Achieving a correct pro golf swing will not only help any golfer improve their game, but even more important, will help them enjoy their golf game much more.
As many golfers delve deeper into increasingly desperate efforts to improve their game, it is very easy for any golfer to lose the enjoyment aspect. Some have even given up the game because of this.
Getting your pro golf swing right will involve you focusing on the many different individual parts of the pro golf swing.
The pro golf swing starts with the backswing where equal focus should be placed on both the body rotation and club and arm extension. It should be a fluid and smooth one-piece motion with the front elbow kept as straight as possible.
In the pro golf swing, the downswing, which is the next stage, begins in the legs and hips. You should begin transferring your body weight from back to front by moving forward the knees, and then the thighs and hips.
In the final pro golf swing stage of impact and follow through, the body weight should be on the outside of the forward heel and the inside of the rear foot. The heel of the back foot should be raised slightly with the back knee also slightly bent inwards.
Avoiding Penalties In Hockey

Avoiding Penalties In Hockey
by: Jason Tarasi
Hockey is really a pretty rough sport considering the fact that there are twelve players on the ice who are seemingly fighting over a tiny little rubber puck that’s only an inch thick and three inches in diameter. Add the fact that they knock the puck around the ice with big sticks while wearing skates and you’ve got a game that can seem somewhat brutal at times. The truth of the matter is, accidents happen in hockey and it isn’t unusual for players to get roughed up a little. However, the sport is really disciplined with precise rules and penalty assessment for infractions. Penalties, depending on their nature, may result in a player being temporarily or permanently put out of a game while more severe penalties may lead to a player being suspended or fined.
Because unintentional events can happen on the rink, penalties can’t be altogether avoided in hockey. However, by playing by the rules, a player can prevent unnecessary penalties from being assessed against him and his team.
Tri Peaks Solitaire Strategy Guide

Tri Peaks Solitaire Strategy Guide
by: Dan Fletcher
Tri Peaks Solitaire is a fun, and popular solitaire game, combining elements of Golf Solitaire and Pyramid Solitaire. It has an interesting scoring system, which can lead to much higher scores when you DON’T play all the moves you can.
There are 2 keys to getting a high score in Tri Peaks Solitaire:
- Clear each Peak.
- Form long sequences.
You get quite a lot of points for clearing a peak. You get 15 points for clearing the first peak, 15 points for clearing the second peak, and then 30 points for clearing the last peak. Thats a total of 60 points, which shows that it is definitely worth while getting rid of all the peaks, and unless you can form an incredibly long sequence, it’s always worth trying to clear the peaks.
The second key to doing well at Tri Peaks Solitaire is to form really long sequences, where you do not deal a card from the talon.
How Power Play Golf Fitness Has Changed The Game
July 17, 2008
The sensational entry into the game by legendary golfer Tiger Woods, at the tender age of 20, introduced power play golf fitness into a game that had traditionally been looked at as a leisure sport where technique was much more important and necessary than any physical fitness or strength.
Never before had the world witnessed such a physically fit golfer playing at the highest levels of the game.
Research has produced some amazing revelations about Tiger Woods and power play golf fitness.
For example it is widely known that golfers can generally achieve a club head speed of 100 M.P.H. at the bottom of their swing. Research however shows that Tiger Woods can reach up to 125 M.P.H. Little wonder that he is able to achieve those amazing distances with his drives.
Apart from the technique employed, fitness and the correct conditioning of the muscles plays a huge role. This is one of the reasons why many professionals also wishing to enjoy the benefits of power play golf fitness have taken to physical work-outs and strength training.
But how effective is strength training in improving a golfer’s game? In other words how effective is power play golf fitness?

Tandem Skydiving; Your First Parachute Jump Part One: Arrival & Sign-up for Your Tandem Skydive

A Four Part Series:
* 1 Arrival & Sign-up
* 2 Preparation
* 3 The Plane
* 4 Freefall & Landing
Part One: Arrival & Sign-up for Your Tandem Skydive
So, you have decided to make a tandem skydive. Now what do you do. Remember one thing, it is crucial and it is the most important thing to the whole skydive. You must “Have Fun”. I am going to describe what kind of day you can expect when you go on you’re first tandem skydive. The airports where people skydive are called drop zones. First thing you want to do is get to the drop zone early. Some drop zones have camping areas so you could be there the night before, but you don’t have to.
Manifest is the area where you sign-up - sometimes it is just a window, sometimes a counter, occasionally it is a room. After you arrive to skydive, you will go to manifest to fill out your waivers and pay for the parachute jump. Waivers are a pain, but they are very necessary. They are a legal release of responsibility. It takes a little time to fill them out, but they are protection for you and the skydiving drop zone.
Boat Building Tips

Boat Building Tips
by: Peter Frank
To get a good boat, you must first start with a good design. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the collection of designs available is immense.
In years gone by, choosing a boat design to build was limited to what you could get your hands on through local boat yards or designers. With the Internet, the whole world plus a huge archive of older designs is now at your finger tips.
No longer do you have to spend $20 to see small plans so you could decide if it was what you truly wanted to build. These days, a few hours on the Net, and you have probably more information than you need. As a matter of fact, you could end up with information overload.
My best advice is first, decide on the basic concept. Do you want a small day sailer, ocean going mono hull, live aboard catamaran or car topper. Is your family truly interested in going boating with you, or are you just assuming? Ask yourself a lot of questions first.
