“Look at these freaking GOOGANS anchoring up in our chum slick!”
Hello and welcome to BlindGooganFishing.com. Our family and friends have been fishing out of Sugarloaf Key in the Florida Keys for over 50 years. My grandfather first heard about the Florida Keys by word of mouth while vacationing at Disney World in the 1970s. He later took the family down and stayed at a camp ground where he caught (and ate) his first Grouper. Needless to say he fell in love with the area. Soon after he bought a small lot on Sugarloaf, built a little shack, and my family has been vacationing there ever since! The place is so special to our family, that my grandfather and grandmother requested that their ashes be placed off the reef by American Shoals lighthouse. R.I.P. Grammy and Grammpy. We fish on with you in our hearts and minds.
The main purpose of this site is to share our homemade videos featuring our adventures out on the water. I also like to write blog posts that describe the finer details of what we experience for fun. We call ourselves the Blind Googans because we don’t take ourselves too seriously and we just like to go out on the water to have a good time… And we have had plenty of “googan” moments, so the name suits us well. However, as our saying goes; “even a blind googan can catch a fish.” And we certainly have our days where all the experience comes together and we catch some nice fish.
