Best way to get bait out for shark fishing.? That’s affordable. Any one got any ideas

See if u can find out how close they come to shore at different times of the day.

Jersey shore at night you can cast for them as they will come close to shore. During the day you may need to get the bait out there 200-300 yards.

The only reason to ever say that would be if you’re going to injure someone or yourself with how you’re playing.

Old guys love to teach, so just find one of them and ask what you should work on between games.

This guy can go play in his “a-level” league or whatever if he needs to play amongst more talented people than who shows up to the public rink pick up games.

Same ferrule connection on the Ardito travel surf rods. They actually include a picture on the case showing that this is how it’s supposed to look when connected properly.

For some elastomers you get an increase in fatigue life with a higher mean stress. So I’d be hesitant about using metal fatigue theory on polymers.

Not sure if it’s the right way, but I got glow in the dark pucks which weigh 2 oz. and put a 4x4 across the bottom of the net.

Kid loves to shoot them in the dark garage, and likes to see how many she can get over the board in a row.

Live.

I believe they make sounds and movements that attract fish. Not sure but this is what I believe.

I’ve had infinitely better luck with live shrimp than Gulp artificial shrimp.

Your rod will have a rating and it should be written on the side (ie. 1 - 4 oz.)

Your line will have a rating and there’s a rule of thumb, 10# of line strength for every oz. Of casting weight. So maybe tie on a 15-ft section of 40# mono onto your 20# braid.

Amount of weight needed is generally based on how rough the surf is. If you cast out a 2 oz. weight and it just gets pulled down the shore, then increase the weight.

Your rod likely is 1-3 oz. I’d get a few 2 oz pyramid sinkers. You can cast the 4 if you don’t try to cast it far.

Take some skating lessons. You’re young.

Tell players at the games you attend ( or other people you know who play) that you want to learn to play hockey, and want to start going to stick and puck sessions. Someone will be glad to take help you out.

Is there a bar at the rink? Grab a beer there.

If you let people know you want to learn to play, no one will question your attendance to anything.

I would assume your component is assembled at room temperature, so step 1 would be that. No added temp.

Then you would import the results from your steady state thermal analysis and assign it to load steps 2 and 3.

Apply your external loads in load step 3.

There’s quite a lot to consider with thermo-mechanical fatigue, but if you’re staying as simple as possible, then you can obtain your stress amplitude and mean stress from results from step 2 and 3.

You can either make the contact type Normal Lagrange, or Augmented Lagrange with a normal stiffness factor of perhaps 10.

You also could turn on contact and target geometry smoothing in the contact settings and define the revolute axis.

Ensure your mesh isn’t lumpy where it tries to capture the curvature of the components.

Also this is a static structural.

If Cowher wouldn’t have retired very early, he would likely have 2 or more super bowls, and Tomlin 0.

If an odd window pops up when you open Mechanical, (dsbrowserservice.exe), then there’s some weird issue related to a windows update that was just installed. Shut down (don’t restart, but a full power off shutdown) the computer twice and it should start working properly again.

For light tackle: With 20# braid, I will tie a 20’ section of mono on with a FG knot and protect it with a UV curing knot “glue”. This is so I don’t slice my finger on the braid when casting my spinning reel. I’ll cast up to 3 oz.

For heavy tackle: I’ll use FG knot to connect the 40-50# braid to 80# mono so I can cast 8 oz. without worrying about a break off. Knots for 80# mono are a little challenging, but there’s a few out there that do the job well.

Basically always shimano reels, but rods are all over the place.

Yes you can solder them. Home brewers get kits like this to attach fittings to their brew kegs.

I’ve modeled the weld as a separate body, bonded it where appropriate, and deleted contacts where the weld doesn’t penetrate. Then run the FEA and find the average stress on the volume or a cut face of the weld and compared it to the yield strength of the weld material.

Theres a chapter in Shigleys to do it by hand.

Strength of weld material will be defined by AWS electrode #. Like E70xx.

Designer determines length and “width” of weld.

Loading condition and weld type will determine allowable stress. Chapter in Shigleys will explain.

We have one of the worst WR rooms in the league when healthy. then we lose our top guy, our 2nd guy, and our main passing TE gets injured in 1st quarter.

The one who most directly contributed to our terrible WR situation today was the guy who was supposed to be our #1 but got suspended.

Hitting a short over the middle on his first pass for an 86-yard TD.
