"Finding bluefin tuna brings out the hunter in me. It touches that innate thing that society beats out of you when you're a kid so you don't end up on the 11 o'clock news." - Capt. Domenic Petrarca  

Over the last two-decades, Captain Dom Petrarca of Coastal Charters Sportfishing has dedicated his time and tides to the pursuit of bluefin tuna on light tackle to the near exclusion of all other species and tactics. He's guided more fishermen to giant tuna on jigging and popping tackle than any other Captain, and his observations from a career spent tuna fishing are invaluable to anyone else enamored with Thunnus thynnus.
