bite / strike / hit Explanation: Yes, it is a fishing term: "attaque b) PÊCHE. Mouvement du poisson qui se jette sur l'appât :" http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/attaque I don't fish, but both my brothers do or did and years ago I sometimes kept them company. "Hit" is correct, and so is "strike", but the most common term is "bite", which is when the fish goes for the bait and may or may not actually take it. "Bite When a fish strikes or takes your bait / lure also known as a hit and strike." http://learninghowtofish.com/fishing-glossary/ "Bite: when a fish tries to take a bait (or lure). Also called a strike. [...] Hit: see strike. [...] Strike: any "hit"; the action by a fish taking a lure or bait". http://www.angelfire.com/ia3/fishing/terminology.htm#strike "bite – When a fish takes or touches a bait so that the fisherman feels it." http://www.gf.state.az.us/h_f/fishing_glossary.shtml "Hit" and "strike" are not in this glossary. "Strike Any "hit" by a fish taking a lure or bait." https://www.takemefishing.org/how-to-fish/fishing-glossary/ "Bite" is not in this one. Apart from being (in my experience) the most commonly used of these three words, "bite" would also be my first choice because it doesn't necessarily mean that the fish takes the bait, just that it goes for it and the fisherman feels it. This is also true of "attaque". But any of the three words could be used. |
