[QUOTE="lbursell, post: 169815, member: 3905"] Hey! There's LOTS that can be learned about a bite from dedicated watching of a pointy bobber in the water: [i]Is the stick (pointy part) pointed straight up/not moving [/i]= No bite [i]Has the stick been pointing straight up, but now is at an angle[/i] = The fish has/might have the bait in his mouth but is still trying to decide what to do with it. [i]Is the whole bobber laying on its side with the stick horizontal [/i]= You're probably on the bottom. [i]Is the whole bobber moving, with the stick pointing in the direction of movement [/i]= The wind is blowing. [i]Is the whole bobber moving, with the stick pointing in the opposite direction of movement [/i]= The fish is swimming away with your bait in his mouth. [i]Is the whole bober just sort of bouncing around without commitment [/i]= Little ones, try elsewhere. [i]Where the hell's my bobber [/i]= You missed the bite, but set the hook for cryin' out loud! Plus, you can attach a Lunker Light (small glow stick) to the stick with a rubber band and fish with a lighted bobber all night long. This is a very cerebral form of fishing. I have an innovative, highly developed (but apparently unappreciated) technique/skill set that just hasn't caught on yet. 8) Is this OCD? [/QUOTE]
