How to Tie a Snell Knot for Fishing — Fishing Fetch

Understanding the Snell Knot

Before we delve into the tying process, let’s understand what a snell knot is and why it is beneficial for fishing. The snell knot is a specialized knot that allows the hook to be positioned at a right angle to the line, resulting in better hooksets and increased strength. This knot is handy when using live bait, as it helps prevent the appeal from sliding up the shank of the hook.

Step-by-Step Guide to Tying a Snell Knot

Step 1: Gather your materials To tie a snell knot, you will need a fishing hook, fishing line, and a pair of pliers (optional but recommended).

Step 2: Thread the line through the eye of the hook Pass the tag end (the end of the line) through the eye of the hook from front to back, leaving a few inches of line extending beyond the hook.

Step 3: Create a loop Form a loop with the tag end of the line, making sure it is on the same side as the hook.

Step 4: Wrap the loop around the shank Take the loop and wrap it around the shank of the hook. Make sure to keep the wraps tight and close together. The number of wraps can vary depending on the size of the hook and the strength of the line, but 5–7 wraps are generally sufficient.

Step 5: Pass the tag end through the loop Insert the tag end through the loop you created in Step 3, ensuring that it passes through the loop closest to the eye of the hook.

Step 6: Tighten the knot Hold onto the tag end and the main line, and gently pull them in opposite directions to tighten the knot. Make sure the wraps remain snug against the hook's shank as you tighten.

Step 7: Trim the excess Using a pair of pliers or scissors, trim the excess tag end close to the knot, leaving just a small tail.

Tips and Tricks for Tying a Snell Knot

Wetting the knot with water or saliva before tightening it can help reduce friction and ensure a secure knot.

Practice tying the snell knot before heading out for your fishing trip to build confidence and proficiency.

Experiment with different hook sizes and types of fishing lines to determine the optimal combination for your fishing needs.

If you’re using a monofilament line, consider using a line conditioner or silicone spray to reduce friction and improve the knot’s strength.

Conclusion

By mastering the snell knot, you’ll have a reliable and effective method for attaching hooks to your fishing line. The strength and positioning of this knot will help increase your hook-up and landing rates, giving you an edge on your fishing adventures. Remember to practice tying the knot until you can do it confidently and efficiently. With time and experience, you’ll become proficient in tying the snell knot and reap the benefits of this versatile fishing knot.

bad feelings which have just been a dull background ache since Sunday are finally coming out as a primary emotion. this is probably good for coping so I can deal with it instead of just wallowing for an extended period of time

in other news: I started vyvanse today after I stopped taking adderall a few weeks back because it made me feel like shit. hopefully this'll be better. I'm glad my current psychiatrist listens to me on this stuff, my old psychs would've just idk given me antipsychotics or something. during our appointment he said I was very firm and well-researched on meds and that that was a good thing, and that I'm the only patient he's ever had who reads the inserts. he's definitely my fav psych I've ever had, even if he does stuff I think is stupid fairly often. I got off all my pills other than hrt and adhd meds (which I think I unfortunately need to be able to work) with him. gives me a little bit of hope for future psychiatry being ethical

cottonball let me touch her today. I've been going into the room with her cage and sticking my knuckles up through the bars and letting her smell me. usually she sniffs a little then backs up like I'm a terrifying monster, but today she kept sniffing and even bonked her nose on me. I poked a finger through and she kept sniffing, then chomped. I'm not sure what the chomp meant. it wasn't a fuck off chomp or a love bite. maybe that's just a kitten thing. I got to poke the side of her little face and she didn't get mad. the hair just stayed flat. it looked like the picture of the bald guy poking his head and it leaving a dent

no progress on her sister charmin. charmin isn't as curious, she mostly just hunkers back a ways away from the bars. she did start coming closer to smell me, but then cottonball stepped on her and she got spooked

I sent a really good email today too. capitalized stuff and everything. I'm very proud of it

my first issue of American Currents, NANFA's quarterly publication, came Monday. I was to miserable to do anything more than flip through for a few minutes, but I'm excited to read it once I'm feeling better.

I'm gonna order some new tippet to snell my tanago hooks with. I've finally given up on finding my old stuff. I have some 4lb test but that's probably big enough to freak out a lot of micros. I tried using it anyways but it didn't work well given the fact that the hook shafts are as thick as the line. I wonder if I can still fish in the creeks during fall/winter. they shouldn't be frozen over but I'm not sure how much anything will be eating

So, this book is a scam.

Kind of.  Accidentally maybe?  So I took a family studies class and my teacher listed Annual Editions: The Family as one of our required textbooks.  So I bought it, since required.  But when I was writing one of the assigned article summaries i was too lazy to walk across the room and get the book so i googled the article and there it was free on the internet.

It wasn’t until class was almost over that it occurred to me to wonder just how many of the articles were free on the internet and spent a few hours googling every title in the book.  Out of 56 articles four were only available to people with a subscription to The Atlantic and six I could only find as abstracts. 

So my classmates and I dropped good money mostly for free articles!  A scam?  I can’t think of any other word for it.  During a global pandemic while some of us have lost our jobs. That’s pretty epic scummy. Did our teacher know?  I did ASK the teacher-- nicely, didn’t want to accused her.  She dodged the question and just said “students like having the articles all in one place.” I don’t think my kind teacher was scamming us, I think she just didn’t think.  The publisher may actually be epic scummy.

So if you get assigned an Annual Editions, try to wrangle a list of articles out of your teacher so you don’t have to pay for it.  And then be angry.  In these uncertain times we gotta protect people from scumbaggery when it appears.

River Baits

By Simon Cardone

Soaking a bait in the Murray River and its tributaries would have to be one of the most relaxing methods of fishing that I regularly participate in. Not only can you expect to tangle with a range of species, but the rigs and techniques used are simple, and the surrounding environment is stunning.  

Bait fishing can be done all year round in the river, however when the surface water temperature is greater than 18c native fish such as callop, silver perch and catfish will all be in feeding mode , particularly in the shallow margins hunting down shrimp, yabbies and small baitfish. This means shore based fishers can get good numbers as well as the boaties.

So let’s take a species by species look at how to get the most out of your next bait fishing session on the mighty Murray River.

Golden Perch (Callop/Yellowbelly)

Golden Perch are the most widely distributed and plentiful native fish in the Murray-Darling Basin. Minimum legal length in South Australia is 33cm and the daily bag limit is five per person. The flesh is white and has a very mild flavour, suited to steaming or baking whole, or shallow frying the fillets. A camp favourite recipe of ours is the cut the boneless and skinned fillets into fish fingers, lightly dust with flour, salt, pepper and cook in a frying pan with butter and olive oil over coals from the fire until crispy on the outside. Washed down with a cold beverage of your choice – a perfect entrée out in the bush!

Live baits will generally produce the best results when fishing for callop, with shrimp, small yabbies and big worms such as scrub worms being the pick. If you can’t source live bait, frozen peeled prawns will also work.

I prefer a simple running sinker straight to the hook for shore based fishing. When there is no current to contend with a ball sinker of 5-15g will be plenty. Hook size is governed by bait size, so long shanked or bait keeper hooks sizes 2 to 6 for worms, and octopus or circle patterns sized 4 to 2/0 for shrimps and yabbies. 2500-4000 sized spin reels spooled with 10-15lb braid and fluorocarbon or mono leader of the same breaking strain will be ample.  Rods with a 3-6kg rating and 7ft in length are ideal.

Fish with two rods if possible, with one cast deep and the other shallow. Target any nearby structure as this is where you will find the perch. Fishing with two different bait types will also help you ascertain the fish’s particular preference on the day. Please do not leave rods unattended. This will help prevent fish swallowing baits deep and aid the successful release of our precious native fish if you are not keeping one for a feed.

Once you have cast your bait into a likely looking area wind in just enough slack line to leave a slight belly in the line and set your rod in a rod holder angled as close as possible to the water. Goldens will hit your bait two ways. Method one is a very soft “fumbly’ take – watch your rod tip closely and if it is moving erratically for more than a few seconds try and set the hook with a swift upright strike of the rod. This seems to be their preferred method for eating worm baits. Bite number two will leave you in no doubt as the perch hoovers in a shrimp or small yabby with gusto.

When bait fishing for callop from a boat, this is best done vertically amongst the snags. “Bobbing” your presentation slowly up and down at regular intervals will soon attract any nearby fish. A standard paternoster style rig will work, but I still prefer a small running sinker straight to the hook. The best snags will be those with many branches that are submerged and cover a range of depths – see accompanying picture. The beauty about the large red gum snags is that you can reposition your boat and therefore your bait periodically to find a hungry native before moving onto your next location. On a good day, you will get your bag off the one tree!

Callop bait fishing hotspots to try are Morgan, Swan Reach and Walker Flat.

Murray Cod

Given that murray cod are a catch and release option only in South Australian waters I don’t see much point in bait fishing for this species. However if you do travel over the border into New South Wales and Victorian waters where you are allowed to keep a legal sized fish for a feed in season then it’s game on.

Cod are the river’s definition of a “greedy guts” and nothing is off the menu when it comes to bait. We have caught them on raw chicken, mozzarella and tasty cheeses, cooked chicken nuggets, dim sims, shrimp, worms, bardi and wood grubs, and yabbies.

You can readily catch small cod in most places that have suitable habitat upstream from Renmark all the way through to the upper Murray. Fishing along weed lines and undercut clay banks is always a good bet for a slot sized cod (55-75cm in season). But if you are after a murray monster on bait you need to fish big baits in tight to old snags positioned in deep water. Your tackle needs to be tough for this sort of close quarter combat as once hooked up to a big murray there will be no second chances, you win or they win – very quickly! 50lb main line whether it be mono or braid as a minimum, and traces up to 100lb. If you use a swivel make sure it is rated to at least 50kg, and only high quality heavy gauge hooks in octopus or circle patterns 4/0 to 8/0 should be used. I prefer to snell my hooks about 10cm apart regardless of the bait I’m using. I find that I get a better hook-up rate by having two baited hooks together.

Rods rated in the 10 -24kg range and around 6ft in length matched to 4000-8000 sized spin reels or 200 size or larger bait cast/overhead reels with drags of 10kg + should give you enough stopping power for most fish.

As with lure fishing for cod, make sure you have all your tools laid out and ready to go particularly if you plan on releasing your fish; glove, lip grips, landing net, bragmat, pliers, bolt cutters and of course a camera.

Cod bait fishing hotspots to try are Cadell, Wentworth (NSW) & Robinvale (NSW).

Silver Perch and catfish

“Silvers” and “catties” are both classified as endangered by fisheries in both SA and NSW and must be returned to the water unharmed. Both these species suffered greatly from overfishing and habitat degradation for many years due to the fact that unlike cod and callop they tend to have a limited range and thus populations can get wiped out quickly.

Thanks now to fisheries management, stocking and habitat restoration works across the murray-darling basin for the past two decades it is now possible to tangle with both of these remarkable fish when bait fishing for callop, especially in the warmer months in shallow water.  We have had bait fishing sessions where we have caught more silvers and catties than callop and carp, which is a good sign for the future.

Those who are old enough to remember will tell you both of these fish are superb on the plate, but for now it’s strictly catch, photograph and release in the Murray river.

Carp

It is estimated by the Australian government Department of Environment that carp make up 90% of fish biomass in some areas of the river murray. This is a frightening statistic, but if you look at carp populations across the basin it becomes clear that you will find carp favour areas of degraded habitat and shallow lakes/lagoons. On the other hand, healthy sections of the river with plenty of snags, riparian vegetation, rock bars and good flow will see native fish proliferate.

From an angling perspective, this makes it easy to pick locations to tangle with “mud marlin”. Many public access areas along the SA section of the lower murray are what I would call badly degraded in terms of habitat, i.e. devoid of native vegetation, a silted or sandy bottom and banks choked with invasive willow trees – carp paradise!

Given that carp grow to enormous sizes and can be found in great numbers year round in shallow water equals great fun for anglers of all abilities. In my opinion they are the best fish for kids to learn how to use fishing gear correctly and safely and also how to play the fish correctly and into the waiting net.

In terms of gear to use I prefer to fish with lighter lines and outfits than I would normally use for callop so I can experience the thrill of the fight of these powerful fish, however using the same gear is fine if you don’t have a big fishing budget or if space is at a premium when you travel.

For me a typical backwater carp setup is a 7ft graphite rod with a parabolic action rated at 2-4kg matched to a 2500 sized reel loaded with 10lb braid and a rod length of 6 pound fluorocarbon leader. If I can see plenty of carp cruising around I will just put a tiny ball sinker on to assist with casting and bait either a size 4 circle hook or size 8 bait holder hook with maggots, corn or worms. You can literally cast towards cruising fish and expect them to belt your offering almost immediately when they are active.

When the weather is cooler and the fish are deeper I substitute the sinker for a sliding berley spring packed with pre mixed berley or bread to draw the fish towards my bait. Periodically throwing out handfuls of berley pellets will also help when the bite is tough.

I’ve said it many times before, but for the benefit of newcomers to this style of fishing; please don’t leave your rod unattended with a tight drag – this is a recipe for disaster and will result in you losing your outfit into the drink. Even a moderate sized carp can make your favourite combo disappear in the blink of an eye!

Carp is a noxious species and must not be returned to the water alive, so please dispose of them thoughtfully and don’t leave them rotting on the bank. Bury them in you your garden for fertilizer, or freeze them and utilize for carp/cray baits. At the very least bag them up and bin them. I know there are many people who actually regard them highly as table fish as they do in Europe and Asia, but for my money I’ll eat a golden perch any day!

Redfin (English Perch)

Definitely the tastiest fish in the river is the reddie aka “inland whiting”. When I was growing up they used to be a regular catch, but are harder to find these days. I seem to catch more reddies from Bowhill right down to Lake Alexandrina these days.

Fishing methods and locations are exactly the same as fishing for callop. Redfin are also classified as noxious, so they are only to be released directly into your esky. Beer battered skinned redfin and chips is match made in heaven.

One Percenters

You never stop learning when it comes to fishing, and this certainly applies to bait fishing in the river. Little things can make a big difference, so some additional points to consider;

-        When a river is rising, try using grub baits and worms. When a river is steady or falling use yabby and shrimp baits.

-        Bait fishing at night during summer is very effective for native species, if fishing from the bank a glow stick attached to your rod tip will help with bite detection.

-        Check hooks for sharpness before and during each fishing session. Replace as necessary.

-        Check leaders and traces for any signs of wear. Replace as necessary

-        Practice knot tying at home. Be confident in your ability to tie good knots. Some good knots I recommend you master are: locked blood knot, uni knot, Albright knot, spider hitch, dropper loop and the perfection loop.

-        Pre tying traces at home and putting into labelled sandwich bags in your tacklebox/bag will save you time on the water and ensure you don’t miss out on fish feeding windows.

-        If you can time your bait fishing missions with a sharply rising or falling barometer, you will be more likely to encounter a hot bite.

While bait fishing in the river is a relaxing pastime and generally will produce fish regularly for even a novice angler, I hope that some of the species specific tips and techniques I have outlined here will help improve your catch rate this Easter period and well into the future. Enjoy your time on the river and make some memories!

MIPS Is Pulling No Punches With Motorcycle-Helmet Protection

Mike Tyson understood how the human brain works. When the lethal second half of the former world heavyweight boxing champion’s trademark combination—right hook to the body, right uppercut to the jaw—hit home, the powerful punch often rendered the recipient unconscious. In fact, “Iron Mike” won 26 of his first 28 fights by knockout or stoppage, with no fewer than 16 of those coming in the opening round of the match.

Swedish neurosurgeon Hans von Holst and business partner Peter Halldin (a researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) claim approximately two-thirds of all motorcyclists—not to mention bicyclists, equestrians, pedestrians, and skiers, among others—who hit their heads in falls do so at some angle to the ground, not a perfectly straight vertical drop, potentially subjecting their brains, helmeted or not, to the same “rotational motion trauma” as a Tyson knuckle sandwich.

RELATED: MIPS Helmet Technology

In the mid-1990s, von Holst and Halldin envisioned a system that could help protect the brain from these types of blows. Extensive research and testing ultimately led to MIPS—an acronym for “Multi-directional Impact Protection System”—in which a low-friction layer permits 10–15mm of sliding action independent of the direction of impact. According to von Holst and Halldin, that movement can significantly reduce sudden-rotational-energy transfer to the brain and lessen the likelihood of the stretching, tearing, or twisting associated with concussions and other brain injuries.

Some background: von Holst founded KTH’s neuronic-engineering department, “a cross-scientific cooperation between the Karolinska Institute and KTH aiming to develop technological solutions to medical problems, primarily within neurosurgery.” Halldin teaches biomechanics and neuronics there. Svein Kleiven, renowned for his finite-element model of the brain—a primary research tool for MIPS, of which Kleiven previously was a part owner—is the department head.

MIPS has thus far licensed its patented technology to 60 helmet manufacturers in the bicycle, snow, equestrian, and motorcycle spaces. The flexible, thin plastic insert—often in plain sight, sometimes disguised in a stretchy, Lycra-like fabric—is typically installed between the interior comfort padding and the EPS liner of the helmet. A dime-size yellow MIPS decal affixed to the lower left rear of the shell is the only external visual cue to the insert’s existence.

Using high-speed photography and assorted sensors in its own state-of-the-art lab (helmeted rubber-covered aluminum head forms are dropped from 2.2 to 3.1 meters onto a 45-degree anvil), MIPS has validated its claims time and again. So why isn’t every motorcycle-helmet maker chartering flights to Stockholm to broker a deal?

“If they take safety seriously, they should,” Halldin said. “Sometimes they don’t think consumers will pay anything extra for safety. Also, when we started we understood the bike and ski markets were simpler to start to work with for a smaller company like MIPS.

“We restarted our work to attract the motorcycle helmet brands,We have succeeded with motocross, but street helmets have been more difficult.”

“In the last three or four years, we have restarted our work to attract the motorcycle-helmet brands,” he added. “We have succeeded with motocross, but street helmets have been more difficult.”

In fact, leading brands such as AGV, Arai, HJC, Schuberth, Shark, and Shoei do not use MIPS in any of their products. Bell (whose former parent company, BRG Sports, once owned a chunk of MIPS) sells five helmets—two street and three dirt—fitted with MIPS inserts. Kabuto also uses MIPS in its street helmets.

“Angular acceleration” and “rotational motion trauma” might not be dinner-table talk, but in racing circles such terms keep brains whirring day and night; after all, riders are the sport’s greatest asset. Wearable airbags, once the butt of jokes, are now mandatory in MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3. Beginning this year, helmets used in MotoGP and World Superbike competition must pass new FIM homologation requirements. Only designs that meet current ECE, JIS, or Snell standards may be submitted for testing. And yes, oblique impacts are part of the Swiss sanctioning body’s certification protocol.

The FIM doesn’t work directly with companies that supply technology to manufacturers because such association might suggest one approach is perceived as better than another.

“We only want to verify the results,” FIM Marketing Director Fabio Muner explained. “Everybody can have his own idea about the shape of the helmet, the technology of the EPS, MIPS, etc. We want to raise the bar for safety and verify everything is worthy of world-championship riders.”

MIPS is not without competition. Arguably the most high-profile challenger is 6D, which claims its proprietary Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) technology “allows for 6 degrees of free-motion displacement during an impact, regardless of your head shape, angle of impact, or how tight your helmet fits.” Unlike MIPS, 6D designs and manufactures its own street and off-road motorcycle, bicycle, and even youth helmets.

MIPS, meanwhile, must sell a traditionally conservative industry and, ultimately, consumers on the execution of a concept that isn’t easy for all to grasp. One thing is certain: Whereas helmet discussions have in recent years come to revolve around pricing and features—overall fit, ease of face-shield replacement, removable/washable comfort liners, number and effectiveness of vents, even colors and graphics options—safety is once again at the forefront of the conversation.

Carrie by: Stephen King

Finished: 2/23/2018

I’m back! I’m sorry that I’ve been away for so long, I sort of hit a reading slump and also got caught up in school. I needed to read something small and something Stephen King. So, what did I think about Carrie? Let’s find out:

Overview: While I’m sure that almost everyone and anyone knows Carrie and what happens I’ll talk about it away. Carrie White is a troubled youth that is frequently bullied at school and has a domineering mother to say the least. On the night of prom a prank goes horribly wrong and everyone gets a good look at Carrie’s dark side. Oh, by the way, did I mention that Carrie is telekinetic? What could possibly go wrong?

Writing: This is Stephen King’s first novel ever published (published in 1974), but you couldn’t tell if you read this. I believe King did a wonderful job at making a truly sympathetic character with Carrie White. King draws you into her life and I could really feel the pain that she felt. Carrie just wants to be accepted among her peers. This story is told through multiple points of view occasionally, some being in the present and some being in the future. All of these points of view are told to give the reader a complete story of the events that take place in Chamberlain, Maine.

Characters: There are only a few key players to take part in Carrie and they are all unique and kind of awful. First is Carrie White, Carrie is the telekinetic main character and is struggling to fit in with her peers while also trying to figure out her budding powers. Margaret White is Carrie’s mother, she is extremely religious and is a pretty awful mother (locking her child in a closet for several hours and constant physical abuse means she won’t be getting any Mother-of-the-year awards anytime ever). Next up is Sue Snell and Tommy Ross, Sue and Tommy are probably the most well meaning characters in this story, Sue does an awful thing to Carrie at the start of the novel and tries to make up for it with the help of Tommy. The last character I will be mentioning is Chris Hargensen, she is the main bully and has a deep grudge for Carrie that ends up having disastrous results. My favorite character in the story is Carrie, I just want to give her a hug and tell her that everything will be okay.

Pacing: This is one of Stephen King’s shortest novels, my paperback copy of the book was only 245 pages long. I must admit that reading a shorter King novel was honestly refreshing. I was afraid going into this that Carrie would be too short and that details in the story would be left out. I was pleasantly surprised when I finished the book that everything was very neatly wrapped up. The pacing was super tight and the story never strays far for long. I will admit that this book had me turning pages just so I could find out how Carrie was going to react to a certain situation.

Enjoyment: I must say, I enjoyed this book quite a lot. It was sort of a breath of fresh air to read something that was both compelling and also short and concise. This book has me hooked and wouldn’t let go of me. I think it’s really cool that Carrie is King’s first published book considering the quality of how good it is. While, this isn’t one of my absolute favorite Stephen King books, I thoroughly enjoyed this and think that this was definitely memorable and will go down as a classic.

Ending (Don’t worry, no spoilers): Pretty sad when you think about how all Carrie wanted to do was to fit in and be seen as normal.

My Final Thoughts: This is the Stephen King book that I recommend to people that are interested in Stephen King and want to read something of his to see if they would like it. I also recommend this to people that like horror and shorter books, Carrie is short and is a good example of how King writes. I think that this book tells a wonderful, but harrowing, story and gives a strong message about bullying. If you are looking to start reading some of King’s work I strongly suggest that you start with Carrie.
