Tom and his partner Towpot (sp) had this great way of slinging trout in the boat so no one could see what they were up to! When I first started fishing the bay it was Tom who would give a little advice to the few who stuck it out just in the bay. He would never give the where but would give hints to make you think of the why and the how; said this would make you a better fisherman then you could find the where. I always felt real good fishing an area when I would see Mr. Tom pull up in that ol' wooden LAFCO.
