I was waiting for someone to put this thread up and he seems to have dropped the ball......so I stole the concept! I was talking with another S-B'er about all the Googan talk going on lately and we started laughing about what "Googan-Type" stuff we used to do when we first started out surf fishing for stripers!

So this thread is here for us all to share some of the "Googan-Esque" things we all did early on.......so lets have some fun, share a few funny stories and remember there was a time when we didn't know it all!
My Googan story is about myself and one of my buddies and how we would go down the backside with all our gear......including an ultra-bright Coleman lantern.....

....and park our butts at the waters edge at night and fish for stripers with plugs and chunk bait! Well.....how the hell else were we going to see what the hell we were doing???

We found out however that the fish liked the light......cause' we used to pound fish beside that lantern!

What a couple of "Googs"!
