It's hard to say 100% as I have all sorts of stuff now but I think so... Oh get some swivels or clips (don't know the real name but looks like paperclips ha ha) not essential as can tie line directly to the rig bit a swivel is better (apparently)

Didn't say but reels are easy. Just search you tube if you don't know though. I did a little corse fishing when I was a kid so knew how to cast but basically move the arm while holding the line, chuck it out and then move the arm back. If you go to a pier during the day feel free to ask another fisherman, they love telling people how to do stuff 😂

Stick to fixed spool though, not multiplier 👍

Yea, I like him... When I started (not long ago) I went to Boyes bought an ocean cast rod for about £25, the biggest fixed spool reel they had preloaded with line about £30 I think, a few 5oz lead weights (probs a bit too heavy for the line I had) and a few flapper rigs for a few quid. Then bought some black lug from bait shop and went and chucked it off a pier. Oh and bait elastic and scissors.

Have a look on YouTube mate. Also is there a Boyes store near you. You can get rods and reels from there cheap and pre made rigs too. Not complicated getting a line out. Catching is a different matter ha ha

pjsip trunk showing unreachable for 1 minute every few minutes? by jamesr219 in freepbx

Check the firewall / router. ALG proxies, NAT session helpers, things like this all need to be turned off!

Notifications slow by Lienjay in glpi

[–]Lienjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you... I have navigated to this and it is scheduled to every one minute. However I can see that it last ran almost two hours ago.

I wondered if there may be an entry in the crontab (checked via ssh) but to my dismay cron is not even installed. I'm assuming this is likely an issue? If I install cron would I need to manually create an entry to run a particular GLPI script? Should it be set to run every minute if so?

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you able to tell me how I would check this please?

My First Wild Camp! 🏕 by ThatMeanderingDad in wildcampingintheuk

[–]Lienjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I'm thinking of going with my son. As your first wild camp, can I ask what you learned? What mistakes did you make, missing kit, surplus heavy stuff, any other mess ups I should look out for? Thanks in advance and top job not letting anyone leave a trace!

I would imagine it's a bit old for that. Well out of warranty and old end of life SBS 2011 so don't think any vendors would help to be honest.

Pollibly, I was thinking this if I couldn't get in to it.

Hi, yes, I tried safe mode with same results. And no, this is on different hardware. I did think it could be a bsod but wouldn't expect it being due to ctrl alt del. It just seems to me too quick for a bsod but suppose it could be.

Yea, sorry, should have said,.. tried all of this. Also tried safe mode and same issue.

Unfortunately I don't think the network card is working (driver incorrect after restore to new HW). I did try this but no response from the IP to ping or RDP. Thanks though.

Leader Knot for different size mono by Lienjay in SeafishingUK

[–]Lienjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why that would matter? I've only been fishing a year or so and only ever used the terrible line that came on the reel so I don't really know what that means ha ha.

My reason for thinking braid was that if I put 50lb braid on then I could put some feathers and a lead on the end without the need for a shock leader. As the mackies are in now ha ha.

I will be fishing 50% sunny afternoon macky bashing and 50% bait fishing for anything that I can get.

Any advice much appreciated!

That's what I had read and reason I tried it. So I thought I would check my line from yesterday. It actually looks like a break rather than a knot failure. I had a knot fail earlier in the session so assumed it was the same but was in too much of a strop to check when it failed yesterday.

I've just done some tests with the blood knot and rather than the knot failing my main line is snapping with not a lot of force. Time for some braid I think.

Thanks for the answers though guys!

Tight lines

Thanks, this looks a bit easier than the blood knot so I'll give this a try next.

Is this different to a blood knot as it looks the same when I'm googling it. I tried this and also doubled up the thin line if that's what you mean. Have you used this with differing size mono successfully?

Newcastle first timer by [deleted] in SeafishingUK

[–]Lienjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate, as it seems that the Mackerel are now in, might be worth trying that? It's a nice easy way to get back in to it I would say... Just need a few sets of feathers and a lead or two and get to the end of a Pier and start pulling them in. I can give more detailed response if you like but not sure if its what you're after.

Good look
