July 31, 2012 Comments Off on Tom’s final Report, a photo

This morning I had a chance to hear from Thomas Rapone first hand what happened last night while he was fishing with Captain Ryan Erickson.

Yestrday I fished with Captain John O’Hearn, eager for a sounder beating from permit. We started at 7:30, and by 8:00 were fishing.
