Buying expired domain - I need your opinion

Unless the domain is exactly what you want, I would pass on it and register a brand new name.

There are really no benefits to buying an expired name that gets no traffic unless the name is a very short, one word name, and it expresses what you want about your new site.

Google and the other search engines are not dummies. They know when a domain changes hands. They know when a new owner comes on board. They know when a new site is created on an old domain and any authority or advantage of the previous site is not going to be given the new web site. They know the in-coming links are for the old site - not the brand new one.

Money wise, you can register a new dot com domain for $.99 so why would you want to over-spend for an old domain? Plus, you don't know the history of the old domain. Maybe it was banned from some search engines or other authority sites. Do you want that baggage for your new site?

Years ago expired domains were all the rage, but I think the technical advancements and new algorithms of the search engines don't give them any "love" these days. To me, the only reason to consider one is if the name itself is short, memorable, and a name you would want for your new site knowing that it wasn't going to give you any SE advantages.

Normally, when you want to create an own blog and start writing about fishing, it's better to start from the scratch. That's what I think, at least. When you are a newbie, there are a lot of risks when getting such a domain. It's possible that the previous owner have used bad tactics and the domain could be banned.

Ignore the aged part.
Does the name of that site have branding that you want to use?
That's all that matters.

Spam score of 3/17 for an expired domain is quite high

You're on the right track about using an expired domain for your blog though

However, it has to be in the same niche as the blog you're thinking of putting up
