Article: Trust is an integral part of making any sort of relationship work. Yet, in other types of relationships, the ability to see each other physically can keep insecurities at bay. In long-distance relationships when you’re only seeing your partner every couple of weeks or months, it’s easy to become envious of the time they are spending with others. Unless your partner has given you any reason to have distrust, give them the benefit of the doubt and try to keep your jealousies in check. Checking their Facebook or worrying about who’s talking in the background during a phone call can cause resentment. Reconsider if a long-distance relationship is a good choice for you if you continuously have trouble trusting. Normal, face-to-face relationships count on seeing one another and engaging regularly to keep the spark alive. Since you and your partner don’t have the option to do that, it’s important that you are consistent and committed about putting time and effort into the relationship. Establish a pattern or “routine” with your partner in which the both of you can depend on the other to be a constant part of life. Coordinate your schedules so that you know when the other is available. Make an effort to stick to your “routine,” such as calling each other around the same time each day. Maintaining satisfaction on both accounts relies on frequent communication. In order to feel fulfilled in your long-distance relationship it’s essential that the two of you are actively involved in one another’s lives. This doesn’t mean you have to talk all day long, but it does mean you should be willing to share what’s going on in your everyday lives, express your thoughts and opinions, and ask for your partner’s input. A successful long-distance relationship equates to both partners having an understanding of the other’s expectations. Being miles apart becomes even more difficult when you don’t know where you stand in the relationship. This creates an environment that is susceptible to distrust, jealousy, and even infidelity.  Have a talk with your partner to discuss what both of you want from the relationship. Are you in it for the long haul or just casually seeing how things go? Clearly communicate your expectations to your partner and be willing to listen as he or she does the same. You should also discuss romantic boundaries. Some couples opt to allow each other to have physical relationships with others if they are going to be apart for months or years, while other couples would see this as a betrayal. Discuss this with your partner, as you might have different ideas about what is allowed in long-distance You can broach the subject by saying “I really like you and I hope you feel the same. Where do you see us going?” and then being patient as your partner communicates their goals for your long-distance relationship. If your goals do not align, you may have to decide if you want to end the relationship.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Work to sustain trust on both ends. Be consistent. Communicate effectively and regularly. Be on the same page.
Article: Live bait is the best to use when catching walleyes. The three basic types of live bait for this fish are minnows, leeches, and night crawlers. Minnows are the most useful, but walleyes are attracted to all of them. Which one you need at a particular time depends on the season.  For live bait, all you need is a hook. Try a hook in sizes 1-4 to catch good sized walleye. For spring, use minnows, especially the small redtail chubs and fathead variety. For summer, fish with leeches and night crawlers. For autumn, try minnows such as the large redtail chubs and small suckers. You can also use a lure when fishing for walleye. The live bait can be added to the hooks on the lures to entice the walleye to bite. Lures, which are sometimes called jigs, vary in weight and color. You should use different colors and weights depending on the time of year you plan to fish.  In spring, you should use a light lure around 1/8 oz. They can be in bright colors such as red, chartreuse, yellow, or white. White is considered the most appealing because of its brightness. The bright colors will attract even non feeding walleye. In late spring and summer, use heavier jigs. If you are fishing shallower, use a 3/8 oz. If you are fishing deeper, use a 1/4 oz weight. The walleye like natural colors such as brown, silver, black, and white this time of year. During the fall, jigs are not typically used because they get stuck when you troll the bottom of the river or lake. Use live bait on a normal hook instead. The type of rod and reel you will need depends on the season and kind of lure you are using. The weight of the jigs and kind of fishing you plan to do also help determine the kind of rod and reel you need. Spinning rods and trolling reels are used most often when fishing for walleye. The power and line capacity will also vary depending on the rod.  The power refers the weight capabilities of the rod and is listed on the rod. It can either be listed as a phrase such as light or as a number between 1-10. Line capacity, described as test line rating, is the amount of weight that the line is rated for. This can range from just a few pounds to over 50 pounds. You can use two different kinds of 7 foot spinning rods for walleye fishing. For early spring walleye fishing in shallow water, you need to look for a 7-foot rod with light power. This needs to have 4-6 pound line. You can use lures from 1/32 oz to 1/8 oz. For later spring, summer, and fall walleye fishing, use a 7-foot rod with medium light to medium power. It should have 8-12 pound line and can use lures that weigh 1/8 oz to 3/4 oz. For trolling walleye, you can use a trolling reel. These reels work on any medium power rod. For general trolling, use a 7-foot, 6 inch rod with medium power and a heavy weight line.
