Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 01:55PM Capt. Ken Cohan had his angler out a few days ago in the back country. They caught some permit as well as 4 tarpon on fly! They were getting ready to take off since they were suppose to fish a half day and tarpon started pouring through in the back country. Great job!
