Surfcaster's Journal Issue #3 June 2010

Lou Caruso is a long time member of the Farragut Striper Club, Surfcaster's Journal official "Rod Guru" and one of the most well regarded custom rod builders on Long Island, NY. You can contact Lou via his website www.louscustomrods.com Tommy Corrigan is an insanely driven, ridiculously talented dude who designs the Surfcaster's Journal magazine from his head. No guidelines, no drafts and no boxes to plug articles in. Everything that you see is a result of late night inspirations on those nights when his better half makes him stay home. When he manages to sneak out you will probably find him on a local beach, plying his craft. His talents are vast and range from music CD cover designs, to posters, books and t-shirts. Don't be surprised if the shirt you or your kid is wearing was created by our design guru.

Stephen Barone is a surfcaster from Massachusetts who fishes anywhere from Plum Island to Martha's Vineyard. He is currently in grad school studying for his MBA and fishing any chance he gets.

John Papciak is a well respected New York surfcaster. As much as we all admire his fearlessness when swimming to the rocks in the middle of the night, we are even more impressed with his conservation ethic. He was one of the people involved in the “Bring Back Big Bass� campaign in recent years and he has always been at the forefront of conservation efforts in the surf fishing community.
