Location: Menasha, WI | A while back I started a page on my website called fishing-isms. It is a page where people can submit their funny quotes or sayings. We have several so far and I am wondering what some of you say or do while in the boat. Below is a current list that I have, I would love to add some more. Keep them clean and funny....
Skunked= Going fishing and not catching anything.
NPD- Non-productive downtime after you lose a jig or bait and have to retie!
Get Da Frabill- Telling your partner to get the net so you can land a fish.
Black on Da Back- Running a Mercury motor. (What else is there!)
Running Meat- The act of using a crawler harness or Scootchie Rig to try and catch some walleyes.
Reefing and Gaffing= Going trolling

Bugle Trout= White Suckers or Redhorse
Boilers= Anything other than a chinook, coho or rainbow from Lake Michigan
Minnow Wench= non-fishing friend in college that we would buy a six pack for with the expectation that he would run up and down the river bank feeding us minnows during the walleye run (used in context: "Hey Minnow Wench, get down here, I'm empty!")
Salad Shooter= a boat propeller that's seen a couple of gravel piles. Cuts through weed beds better than a new, smooth prop.
