Love this idea—having a glossary like this really helps newer fishos get up to speed with the local lingo, especially when terms like “Tarpon Tap” or “Turbo Troll” are pretty unique to this community. I’d suggest adding “Sounding” to the list too—it’s when you’re using a fishfinder to track bait schools or structure. Maybe also “Peckers”—those small bait-stealing fish that chew soft plastics to bits without ever hooking up.
Your descriptions are spot on. The breakdown of behaviours like “Mooching” and “Bustup” is super helpful for recognizing patterns on the water. It’s actually not unlike how we analyze sample behavior in lab setups. We use tools like a 96 well plate template to track subtle responses across different conditions—each well offering a clue, kind of like interpreting surface bird movement or current lines to locate fish.
Looking forward to seeing more terms added. This kind of resource is gold for anyone trying to fish smarter, not harder.
