Brett taught me this years ago. You can attach a bobber to your line by making a loop in your line and clipping the red & white bobber to the base of it after you get your hook down to the level you want to fish. When you get a fish on and you reel in, the bobber will pop off when it gets to the tip of the rod. It doesn't go far so you pick it up and go again. I wouldn't try this on open water. 
This may be well known but I've never seen anyone else do it so thought I would share.
P.S. My writing ability is a little off today so if the directions aren't clear maybe joatmon can explain it. Or ask me to clarify.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
