I read this in another thread here -
Googan -
A googan is an offshore fishermen who constantly loses fish that the average fishermen would catch. 'Googans' tend to 'set the hook' when using circle hooks. A googan would not survive if stranded on a desert island with all the fishing tackle in the world, because a googan does not know how to tie the simplest of fishing knots.
A fishing (not sexual) term for lowlife, shore(bank) fishermen who baitfish typically without a license, regard to regulations, and etiquette towards other people, especially other fishermen following the rules.
"Damn, I couldn't find a spot at the river yesterday. It was totally full of googans hogging up the place, dropping f-bombs, and snagging fish."

Skishing = An extreme form of surfcasting, wherein the participant fishes with rod & reel while swimming. The word is a combination of "Ski"+"Fishing", as a large fish can provide a nice tow through the water. Originated in Montauk, NY, this sport is gaining popularity among hardcore surfcasters whose primary target is striped bass.

Dapping A relatively ancient technique of presenting a fly on the surface of the water where the fly is connected to a short piece of line on a long rod. The fly is then touched on the surface of the water, immediately over a place where a fish might lie.
Russ Wilson gets the credit for this term...RIP Russ.
Even though some may consider it demeaning, it has it's place in NJ surfcasting history.
It can even be used as a term of endearment, as last week when I impaled my hand with a hook as I unhooked a nice bass, and Finchaser said:
"I can't believe you hooked yourself, you effing dillydock!"
(Yup...that sure sounded like a term of endearment....:laugh:)
Dillydock....

Death Rats - term used to indicate small bass, at the end of the Striped bass Fall run. Their appearance usually signifies the beginning of the end....hence the name "Death Rats". :d
Credit for this one goes to the LI surf guys, although it's been used all over....was talking to Eli a kayak friend the other day, and he mentioned running into the "Death Rats".
Great stuff...:fishing:
