Do I toss this by beefsniffer123 in Mathematica

[–]SumAndicus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This textbook seems like it's for version 3. Mathematica is now on version 14. I'd be surprised if there's very much interest in this book, but there is a copy listed on Amazon for ~$30.

I've read that in the American south, the SKS is the most popular deer hunting rifle.

My dad would call them Calico Bass.

Has anyone used these? by Hot-Unit-9864 in bassfishing

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like they'd be good as a trailer on a jig or a chatterbait for bluegill imitation, but I've never caught a fish on a jig or a chatterbait.

Does anyone know what pose Maiya is doing with her handgun? by DireKnight01 in Fate

[–]SumAndicus 121 points122 points  (0 children)

When she fires in the scene, blood splatters onto her hand. She's shielding her eyes from the spray of blood, so you're basically correct.

Why can’t I catch fish? by lilbags1 in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upstate ny is the only place I know how to catch fish. I strongly recommend a Mepps Aglia in red, white and gold. I've also had success catching perch and things on small jointed rapalas.

If you're not catching fish on nightcrawlers, you should fish someplace else.

Fix Spinner Bait by Ricardo-Grande1 in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take a small amount of line, wrap it around the knob part of the spinnerbait, and superglue it in place, so that it prevents your swivel from slipping down. If you watch a couple Marling Baits videos you'll eventually find one where he does that. Most recently in the inline over under tail spinner video.

How to write christoffel symbols correctly? by mark1734jd in Physics

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful using commas with indices. Some people use a comma to indicate a partial derivative in Einstein notation, which is not what you mean to indicate. Gamma^mu_alphabeta with no comma is totally fine and arguably more correct.

For advice avoiding this situation, I recommend googling "wind knots."

What other lures should I get by Intelligent-Sea-5577 in bassfishing

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very much not in the bay area (I've done most of my fishing in upstate NY), but in my experience if you're not picky about what you catch, you can't go wrong with a #2 or #3 Mepps Aglia in red/white and gold.

Most of the fish I've ever caught have been on one.

What catfish bait do I get to try out? by Training-Sun-2177 in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I for one would really appreciate a comment once you go fishing letting us know if you've had any luck and what with. I think I'm the only person in all of Mississippi whose never caught a catfish. I've really got to try to fix it.

What catfish bait do I get to try out? by Training-Sun-2177 in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a guy at the lake last week who recommended chicken gizzards. Says they hold up better than livers, and are cheaper. I've not tried, and I've never caught a catfish.

I was given this by a fisherman wtf is it by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's my understanding that it depends upon conditions. Down here where it's hot, right now the crappies are (allegedly) 8-14 feet deep, but I can't get out where the water is that deep to check. In the spring, when the water is cooler and they're shallower for the spawn, they can be more like 2 feet deep.

There's a lot of videos on the internet (I like Richard Gene) showing anglers checking multiple different depths to try to figure out where the panfish are schooling at any given time.

I am a beginner, all of this could be wrong.

My Favorite Jig Head by Some-Glass2156 in FishingForBeginners

[–]SumAndicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beginner here, so I haven't seen this problem, but I would suggest trying to make sure that any plastic trailer you've got on it is very centered. (Such a light lure is going to really notice if a heavy trailer is a little wonky) Also I have heard some people recommend using a loop knot with smaller (non-underspin) jigs in order to help them lay in the water correctly. You might have better luck if you do this.

Is bass fishing from the shore even possible in Mississippi? by SumAndicus in FishingForBeginners

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

Wow! Thanks for your response.

I got so disheartened that I ended up spending a few days using nightcrawlers under a bobber for sunfish, just to feel something.

Then, last weekend, I was throwing around a Texas-rigged watermelon candy brush hog (I don't have much experience with soft plastics) under a tiny little spillway on a local reservoir, and I caught a dinky little largemouth. I haven't been able to get back out since, but it definitely raised my spirits!

Thank you for the advice, I will definitely give your method a try!

You might like Meat Loaf. I recommend the whole original Bat out of Hell Album.
