"Giant tuna caught using
the custom rod – equipped me for my first season of giant
tuna fishing off the coast of Massachusetts – all the custom
rods with the customer colored Penn international performed
flawlessly and helped me to land several giant tunas over
500 pounds. Just wanted you to know how happy I am – will
see you in the spring to add to two stand-up rods to add to
my collection."
"For years I’ve been using my Shakespeare and Lamiglas
rods with great success but after speaking with Steve about
custom surf rod – I decided to give one a shot. I can’t
express to you the sensitivity power and casting ability
I’ve experienced with the new custom 11’ foot Super Surf
that he built for me."
Captain Steve Petras
Master Rod Craftsman & Sport Fishing Consultant
White Water Outfitters
Captain Steve Petras, White Water Outfitter’s master rod
builder, is the most diverse and experienced rod builder in
the region. A Southampton-native, Steve started as a
thirteen year-old building surf rods in a local Long Island
fishing community shop. Steve says, “As a young kid, I
couldn’t buy what I needed, so I started making my own
custom rods. I quickly learned that to build a good rod, you
have to know how to use it. You have to understand how it is
supposed to be used.”
Through research and experience, Steve has always stayed
ahead of the curve by researching and refining his
technique. It is safe to say, from Montauk to Moriches there
is no one who’s built more surf rods than Steve Petras –
nearly two-thirds of all those built on Long Island.
One of the things he enjoys about working at White Water
Outfitters is the opportunity to be involved with individual
customers – helping each one meet their specific needs
whether a beginning or casual fisherman or the experienced
sport fisherman. You’ll find Steve at White Water Outfitters
building rods for those beginning to explore surf fishing as
well as for the sport fisherman with the 72-custom rod
arsenal tournament rig.
Captain Petras is also a sport fishing consultant, fishing
the local waters daily for everything from stripped bass in
the Shinnecock Bay to blue fin tuna in off-shore canyon
fishing. He brings world-wide fishing expertise to White
Water Outfitters with nine years in Costa Rica, five years
in Hawaii and numerous fishing trips to the Bahamas, U.S.
Virgin Islands, Florida Keys, Panama, Nicaragua and
Christmas Island. In Kona, Hawaii, he was the captain of a
marlin charter boat.
Stop by White Water Outfitters and meet Steve - the area’s
finest custom rod expert and one of the team of local sports
fishing consultants.
