THE TUNA WHISPERER

Edoardo Civita

Born in Rome in 1996, Edoardo got his start spin fishing on the river banks of Lazio and trolling with live bait on the coasts of northern Sardinia. His many travels abroad have given Edoardo valuable experience in spin fishing and the use of artificial bait for both tropical and oceanic environments. In 2011/2012 he hung up his spinning rod to devote himself full-time to the style with which he has now irreparably fallen in love: tuna fishing. He also quickly discovered that live bait was far more engrossing than the classic Sardines. One of his first international fishing trips, back in 2010, brought him to Cape Cod, where he left his heart, and promised to return in the future. A strong love for the giant bluefin tuna, and a friendship with his former fishing guide and now partner, Alan, has landed him back in the Cape; this time as a fishing guide himself, and, of course, as Captain Edoardo.

THE TUNA WHISPERER

Alan Hastbacka

Alan, a native of Cape Cod, is one of the Cape’s longest-running and most-established fishing guides. He is based year-round in Chatham, making the village, as so many local fishermen like to say, Alan’s “backyard”.
His occupation and preoccupation all year long are the same: fishing.
A true connoisseur of the place he calls home, as well as an expert on both tides and the habits of fish, Alan received his training in striped bass fishing, studying how their behavioral patterns are linked to seasonal changes. In the early 2000s he devoted himself full-time to the style for which he would become known throughout the world: casting for tuna. Alan knows this place and these fish like the back of his hand; every year his know-how and guidance helps his charges reel in giant tuna weighing over 200 kg, making the dreams of fishermen from all over the world come true.
