[ He can be as snotty as he wants; Joel is used to talk-back. He's incredibly good at ignoring it.
He doesn't say anything right away, though, simply gives a gentle tug to his line - not a quick jerk, something a lot smoother, more natural looking as the bit of bait starts moving through the water. Even from this angle, and knowing it's on a hook, it looks about like any insect skimming across the surface. Joel does this a couple more times. ]
This ain't the best time of day for 'em, but if you're patient, they'll come for it.
