Can I get some help with some fishing terms???

Back wash is whats left over when your beer bottle is almost empty.. Out side bends are when you run inside real quick with out decompressing. Hope this helps.... lol oooh::crazy::smile2::smile2:

 

Back Wash: The way I understand it is when structure of some sort changes the current to flow back upstream. Similar to an eddy where the current swirls in a circle.

Outside Bend: geographically when a river or creek bends to the left...the right bank side would be the outside bend.

 

Jack .... you are such a smartass ........ Lmao :big_smile::big_smile::big_smile::big_smile:

 

funyy jack:smile2:

 

Wolfman nailed it pretty good, it took me a while to really understand some terms also when i first started, heck I am still learning. But its just like anything else, when you stop learning, its time to move onto another hobby, which I dont think will even happen..:wink:

 

Caught a few.----- Means they didn't catch a thing. LOL!

 

wolfmans got it covered !

 

Back wash is what my wife does when I come home from work.
In fishing it is where the current of a river pushes excess water which either reverses itself upstrem like at a dam, or creates a quiet almost pondlike area adjacent to the main river. In times of very heavy flow these places can be deadly because most of the fish, bait and predator alike, head there to get relief from the current.

Outside bend- Look at a horse shoe, see the inside? See the outside? Apply that to the river. If you watch the current (float a stick) the side that the water flows to, where the stick hits shore, is the outside bend.

It is also the motion used to start a walk behind mower.

Rod- an elongated fishing device, usually paired with a high speed retrieval system sometimes called a reel.

It is also what I whupp my fishin partners with when they drop a sinker in the boat.

Sinker- a heavy weight attached to line to keep your hook down.

It is also a fishin partner that don't float.

Spot- A location where all the monsters lurk, held top secret in a military outpost against all comers, a tournament winner.

It is also what you leave on the floor when your fishin partner discovers you told somebody about "the spot"

Boat- a floating apparatus designed to carry fisherpeople and their gear. It is known to shrink the first time it gets put into water cuz it's always a hair too small.

It is also what you say to two partners when you need them too put the anchor out. "Can you boat grab an anchor.... and don't be fallin in!"

Run- a fish pulling line from the high speed retrieval apparatus. The sound has awoken many out of sound sleep to fight with a zipper, trip over the coffeepot tipping it over into the fire. Common to hear the phrase Fishon shortly thereafter unless like Jack you miss it then it seems to turn the air blue.

It is also the result 3 hours after Jack eats Phil's beans.

Riffle- Shallow faster water in a system that scours a hole or deep section in the river. Good for bait, good for active predators.

It is also what happens to your partners feathers when you tell him he tied his knot wrong.

Flathead- A catfish that looks like it's been hit in the head witha shovel aka Shovelhead.

It is also a disease on the Dresden and Riverside section of the Muskingum river first deteced and contracted by two fellas named Skippy and Rollo who found it hard to walk through doors when this viral infection attacked. It is caused by the adoration on newbies that grovel at their feet for information.
It is also caused when one has a video published.

Also a box where you don't stand during a pro football game.

Lure- a piece of plastic, metal, feather or hair with hooks attached. Designed to attract different species of fisherman errr.... yeah I said it right.

It is also what a priest does..... It has no alternative meaning.

Hole- the deepest section of river.

It is also what you jump into to get away from Jay and Kahle.

Run- the stretch of water between the hole and the riffle usually the same depth all the way to the next riffle.
