Laura Jay Charters with Bluefin Tuna
Captain Jay Cianciolo is a third-generation Captain and tuna fisherman who grew up charter and commercial fishing on Cape Cod.
He currently splits time between his family’s operation, Laura-Jay Charters in Sandwich Ma, and his own guide service, Generations Charters, in Newport RI.  The boats primarily target striped bass throughout the spring and summer and then switch to chasing Giant Bluefin throughout the fall.
Captain Jay’s favorite fishing technique is using large live bluefish for XXL size Bluefin. The BKK monster circle hooks have proved invaluable in getting proper hooksets in Giant Tuna.
