Pumpin' some nippers

On Sunday, Kevin and I went for our fortnightly paddle with the Kayak and Canoe Club (one of the unexpected benefits of living in Australia is that I get to use words like fortnightly and no one sniggers). As we paddled near the Bobbin Head Marina, I spied a bloke engaged in a strange shallow water activity involving a bilge pump and a strainer.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm pumpin' some nippers." I looked to my Australian paddling instructor. She shrugged.

"What exactly does that mean in American?" I asked.

"I'm gettin' some bait." He rolled his eyes.

"Congratulations. You're going to be on my blog."
