sinking or bottom fishing Explanation: I don't know if there is a specific technical term for this, but when I lake fish (I try to avoid lake fishing - I'm more of a flyfishing snob), I just call it "sinking the bait." To sink your bait, you usually attach "sinkers" to your line (also called "split shot" or "shot"). These are lead weights which pull your bait to the bottom. Most fishermen also attach a "bobber" or "strike indicator" somewhere between the sinkers and the tip of the pole. A bobber floats on the water, showing you roughly where your bait is, and sinking below the surface when a fish takes the line. NOTE: If you use "Bottom Fishing," please be aware that this has a negative connotation. Catfish, crayfish, snails, etc. are "bottom feeders," because they eat what ever sedimentary crap happens to be laying on the floor of the lake. In English, we often refer to Personal Injury Lawyers as "bottom fishers" or "bottom feeders" because they make their living off others' misfortunes. Example sentence(s):

bottom fishing Explanation: ...can apply ex. to fishing offshore over reefs, where fish like snapper and grouper congregate. This is a widely used fishing method that uses weights (sinkers) to get the bait down to the fish... Reference: http://www.flfish.com/how_to/anthony_ng.htm |
