Once Upon A Googan!

[FishermanTim]

I am always willing to help someone who is unprepared to fish effectively where ever I am fishing. Since someone else (including my father) helped me appreciate fishing so much, I feel compelled to "share the wealth". That doesn't mean giving away your favorite plug, lure or secret spot, but more like sharing your knowledge of a particular spot in regards to time, tide and weather. I will readily pass on a pre-rigged slug-go to someone who lost their only lure, and if there is a child involved, I will make the effort to give the kid as much info as I have (and they can absorb). I have a number of neices and nephews that LOVE to fish, and they're approaching that age when stripers are not out of the question.

I think its funny how white buckets are associated with the Googs. I actually saw two bucket incidents last weekend. The first was the prototypical white bucket, only this fella had made notches around the top rim with a utility knife so he could hang his rusty Gibbs poppers, so they wouldn't have to lay on top of the rotting pogy in the bottom of the bucket. This guy was one step away from an actual plug bag I think.

The second was a couple doods who had set up a nice lineup of 5 or 6, 6' freshwater rods, with chunks and used an over-turned Orange Home Depot bucket as a coffee table with which they could safely sit thier bud-lights.

These are the guys that really don't want help-they are what they are.
