Or paid Orvis 50.00 bucks for a 3 dollar hunk of plastic shooting basket.

1) walk into a tackle shop where 6 guys are hanging out and say "I need some advice" (they , of course, go on for 5 minutes with "don't marry too young", "stay in school", etc.(It happened to me, the googan)

2)A guy in a tackle shop is explaining to a group of guys how he had 40 lb. fish follow his lure right to the rocks several times and is going back later to get them. And I chime in "where is this spot?". Duh.

[RIROCKHOUND]

You high-stick a Arra on a 15lb fish at Q and snap it (JR saw that one...)

I don't think that this one is as far-fetched as you think

-You might be a googan if....you modified a large blue broken back rebel swimmer with four 10mm bolts screwed and epoxied on the top while proudly admiting that you caught fish with it. This plug was like the frankenstien of swimmers. True story not me.

You might be a googan if:
You need to turn your head lights on to change your bait.
you need to turn your headlghts in to see if there is any fish around.
You wear a cycling helmet to go surfcasting, provided you did not just have bran surgery.
You attach a glow stick to your leader to see where casting.
You try to drive your 2 wheel drive Lexus sedan down the beach.
You attach a bobber to your bucktail because you lost a couple letting them sink to far.

Actually, that could just be someone being careful. One of the regulars at Montauk, in his 70's, wore a bike helmet while rock hopping on the south side.

Some 20 years ago, we got down to be beach, only to find the 4 wheel drive access closed and cops everywhere. We find out some drunken idiot drove a station wagon (one of those big late 70's models) half a mile down the access road and then proceeded to pass out . It took 2 wreckers to get him out (the first one got stuck also ).

Used to happen in Montauk all the time. Easy access onto the beach in town and some people in 2 WD sedans, sometimes drunk, sometimes not, would drive onto the beach.

"Or paid Orvis 50.00 bucks for a 3 dollar hunk of plastic shooting basket." Flaptail

So I guess that means :

You might be a googan if you get a Orvis stripping basket as a Birthday present from your children after you were diagnosed with Cancer.

I am proud of the basket and proud to use it.

Just flap your Tail and not your Mouth

Sorry about your cancer and do understand the sentimentality of the object but you posted the picture and you do understand that when you do that on a site like this you leave yourself wide open and how was I (we) to know about your personal medical issues?

You might have noticed this is not what you would call a touchy feely bunch here.
Flaptail (mouth) (gums) (whatever)

Posts like this degrade so far, so fast.

It's always the same. Some people get offended, and some people post things that are very un-googan.

Someone tell all the bucktail and casting egg guys that they're googans for using a bobber.

[MakoMike]

You might be a googan if you said something like

I don't want to sugar coat it but most commercial fishermen are a bunch of greedy, rude, illegal-minded, beer drinking, overweight, tax avoiding, uneducated , rule breaking, whackos.

[MAKAI]

So . . . one nite a few years ago I am driving along the back trying my best, but it's not my nite. I see this bright light ahead of me like a small city. It turns out to be about 20 people bait fishing, men and women, gigantic bonfire. The best part is they strung 2 eight foot high output fluorescent lights between a couple of pick-ups, running off a generator. Big boom box cranking out Marley. Grills going, booze flowing looked like a Pagan holiday, I was so jealous. I am drinking cold cofee , eating cold pizza,staying awake all nite. I drive past them again at dawn, all sprawled out sleeping in the sand. . . ( sigh ). . . Googans do it right.

You leave those little things on the hooks(protectors) because you think they are for keel. Over heard at a tackle shop.

[Rob Rockcrawler]

You think that a 12' rod is better than anything out there except a 13 footer.

...if you feel something sharp in your waders and fish on anyway as you only have a 2 hour window... and you finish and take off your waders to find a treble hook lodged in your leg...

Was there a plug attached to the treble ???

[ivanputski]

you get sprayed by a skunk walking to a spot... (happened to my buddy on a path known to be a skunk hi-way...)

Depends on whether he still fished or didn't.
