Bobber 'Ku

In July of 2000 someone asked about strike indicators, and I replied in part:

Bobbers in the Rain
Exchanging glances, Where'd my
Bobber go, damnit.

Fish, meet me half way

Never nymph again.

Rednecks and bobbers
Red & white, colors are they
One uses other

Up, down, up, down, under
Jerk the pole, fish goes flying
Bobber hits forehead

Flying fish hits chest
Hook penetrates right nipple
Instant urban freak
