Fishing is about being with nature and for those who have been doing it for a very long time; it takes more than just a simple fishing rod and bait. For others though who want to try it and perhaps do it more often, investing in the right tools and accessories will make it a worthwhile experience and at the same time enable the person to catch a lot of fish.

The most important piece of equipment is the rod. For beginners, the basic rod and some bait will do. During this time, the type of material used and the features it has is not important. What matters is getting the feel of it and having fun. When the person is already comfortable and ready to move on to the next level, then one can invest in other more complex pieces of fishing equipment.

Frustrating as it is, carp fishing is awesome. Carp are really good at sucking in and blowing out suspicious baits.  It’s such an excitement to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as you hang on for dear life while the reel is trembling with a loud noise.

Carp happily devour on the surface as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming in, and these are inexpensive baits as well.  Just attach them to the hooks, most preferably the bread.  Have the biscuits softened by dipping it in the water for about 2 minutes, then, place them in a sealed sandwich bag for about an hour.  Since different brands have different textures, just experiment to know which is firm enough to cast.  Another way to hook baits is super gluing the pellet into the shank.

Winterizing or preparing for the winter would help preserve your property and even save some energy or fuel.  For example, if you are selling your home then you would need to winterize it.  Winterizing your home will protect your investment and at the same time keep everything it good condition.  

When winterizing your home you could get a professional to do it.  There would be instances when you will be needing a plumber, an electrician or a contractor.  But there could also be instances when you could do your own winterizing.

Your pool, vehicle, home and even your garden is prepared for the winter. However, it is not just property that needs some winterizing.  You would also need to prepare your body for the cold climate ahead of you. You would need to keep yourself warm and at the same time check your overall health.  

You start by making sure that your home is insulated and warm.  There are insulation covers which can be used to cover pipes.  Windows, cracks, and even doors should be covered properly to make sure that there are no cold air seeping inside your home.  Keeping your home warm would need a steady supply of heat. Even before winter comes, make sure that the heater or the furnace is repaired and checked.  You do not want your central supply of heater breaking down in the middle of harsh, cold weather. 

Energy bills could run very high during winter.  Winterizing or preparing for the winter may also be a problem for your purse.  There are ways in which you could increase your home’s heating efficiency  but at the same time, cur down a little from your previous winter electric bill.  

There are things which you could do on your own.  There are some homeowners who would hire professional help from plumbers, electricians and contractors.  But during this stage of crisis and financial hardship, we can use some simple, do-it-your own and within the budget winterization process.

Scotland can be divided into six different malt making segments or regions; Islay, Campbeltown, speyside, Islands Lowlands and highlands. Each of these regions produce a different malt as the characteristics are different so too are the methods of distilling. Climate variations, raw materials, and production methods all play a roll in the differing of these malts.

There is no true rule of thumb when drinking whisky but there are a few things to keep in mind to make the experience a lot more enjoyable. It should be pointed out that if the general rule of thumb is not observed there is still no reason not to enjoy this wonderful spirit.  

You should never put ice in a great dram as it kills the taste and aroma, however, some do prefer it this way.  The glass that is originally designed to accept a fine malt whisky is very wide at the top and gently slopes in for the very reason of not comfortably accepting a bed of ice, as the intention is to steer away from this practice. This glass is by most called a tumbler.

The production of Scotch whisky takes time, a lot of time.  It is a tedious process that can take years.  However when it is done correctly, the product is one worth waiting for.  

Barley is placed in deep tanks of water for approximately three days. As the moisture increases it promotes the germination process. After the germination process, the barley is then moved to the malting segment of the distillery where it will go into drums sometimes known as the malting floor.
