| Aslant |
| Hinted |
| Fished |
| Sloping |
| Slanted |
| On a bias |
| Maneuvered |
| Not straight |
| Went fishing |
| Like a dogleg |
| Had an agenda |
| Turned sharply |
| Dropped a line? |
| Did some fishing |
| Used fishing rod |
| Fished or schemed |
| Like hockey sticks |
| Fished with a hook |
| Used a hook and line |
| Caught porgy and bass |
| Emulated Izaak Walton |
| Emulated Isaac Walton. |
| Did some serious fishing |
| Caught some rays, perhaps |
| Used a hook, line and sinker |
