| May 29, 2019 at 15:30 | comment | added | Dennis | Seconding @TaliesinMerlin's answer, it's nibble. You can see an example here: upnorthoutdoors.com/upnorth/fishstories/jerrycarlson/… | |
| May 29, 2019 at 15:29 | comment | added | Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_ | In spite of the title of the possible dupe, the answer says " "Nibble" refers to a seemingly tentative attempt to take the hook and can be used as the event takes place or in later descriptions. Nibble is often used in a derogatory ( self-deprecating) fashion as in "I (he) caught 3 fish, but he (I) only had a couple of nibbles." This is most frequently used when "still fishing" (just letting the hook dangle instead of pulling it through the water) with "bait" (see below)." | |
