Yesterday I spent a few hours on my photo blog. If you have something you want to share with the world, WordPress is a great place to start. Being me, I always want to change things up. I had started with one theme and with the push of a button, I had a different background and format. I wanted to add some links- again it’s very easy to copy and paste your favorite websites.
It’s a creative process that you can customize to your needs. You don’t have to put it out there to the public if you choose to keep it private, but I encourage anyone who wants to try it to check it out here to get started. Have fun!

Ballyhoo are a favorite game fish bait. Sport fishermen will bury the hook in it’s belly and then wrap the line up around it’s long snout. They look very similar to herring in the way they look except they are skinnier and have that long spear coming out it’s nose.

I’m pretty sure they would put you away if you tried to land a yellowfin this size in the US.
