SeaBros Fishing Podcast - Fishing Stories, Tactics, and Interviews from Top Captains, Mates, and Outdoorsmen from Across the World

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we have two returning guests, captains Rob Taylor and Seth Funt.  If you haven't listened to our first episodes with these guys, Rob runs a charter fishing company out of Newport, RI called Newport Sportfishing Charters. Seth mates for Rob throughout the season, has a boat of his own, and runs a successful bed and breakfast in Bristol, RI.  We always look forward to seeing these guys. They are both passionate fishermen, hilarious and love to nerd out on fishing theories.  The coolest thing about hanging with Seth and Rob for this podcast, was seeing the reconstructed tuna skull that they brought with them. Seth's brother-in-law (@dakusbones) creates unbelievable museum quality artwork from fish skulls and skeletons, and the boys brought a 118" giant bluefin skull from a fish they caught together. It is truly incredible to see up close. It took over two years to finish and one of a kind.This conversation with Rob and Seth brought us in a bunch of directions, covering a ton of topics. We recap their 2023 tuna fishing season, chat about rod blanks and tackle,  discuss how to keep live bait in perfect condition, and discuss tactics for catching giants off of the beaches of Rhode Island and in Cape Cod Bay.It's always a pleasure to sit down with a couple of fun, like minded fishermen from our neck of the woods.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we visit Monahan's Marine in Weymouth, MA and join their crew for a great conversation. We sit down with Brian Curreri, Matt Connor, Marc Panico, and Conor Holway to discuss what it's like to run a full service marine service and fishing tackle business.We recently partnered with Monahan’s, and are excited to be working with a local marine business that has been serving the South Shore of Massachusetts since 1961. For decades, the crew at Monahan’s has been helping generations of boat owners with outboard parts, boat service, marine equipment, and fishing tackle. Their professionalism and passion for being on the water has made them one of the most reputable boating headquarters in the Northeast.Monahan’s is located on Washington Street in Weymouth. They are currently a Jones Brothers and Tidewater Boats retailer and have the most well stocked inventory of Yamaha Outboards, parts, and rigging in MA. The entire staff and crew of technicians have decades of experience. As a recent addition, Monahan’s has built and rigged out a brand new 4,000 sqft offshore and inshore tackle shop. The grand opening of this new space is set for Saturday April 6th. They will be fully stocked with everything needed for offshore canyon fishing, nearshore bluefin tuna fishing, striped bass fishing and more. We are excited to be able to use this space as a new home base to maintain our own tackle and charter fishing fleet, as well as a spot to film some upcoming podcasts and workshops.In this conversation we discuss the beginnings of Monahan's business, their recent partnership with Scituate Boatworks, and their new tackle shop space. We tell a few fish stories and discuss our goals going into the 2024 fishing season.We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Monahan's Marine@monahansmarinewww.monahansmarine.comMonahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesSupport the showThank you for listening!

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we were excited to sit down and talk everything bluefin tuna with our good friend and fellow fisherman Chris Weiner.Chris and the rest of his family are harpoon fishermen out of Maine, and have been for decades. His experience and skills in hunting these fish on the surface is incredible. He is on another level in terms of understanding bluefin behavior, patterns, and nuances.When Chris is not on the water pursuing these fish from above, he dedicates his time supporting his fellow bluefin tuna fishermen. He and his family have always been advocates for the fishery. Chris has spent many years involved in both the science and management pertaining to numerous Gulf of Maine, East Coast, and Atlantic-wide fisheries. Over the past three years, Chris and his father spearheaded the development of a non-profit organization known as "The Bluefin Collaborative" whose focus is to connect bluefin tuna fishermen up and down the East Coast and work towards building a genetic data base on fish harvested and released. These efforts are to help showcase the health of the Atlantic bluefin tuna stock, pin point new spawning areas, and gather new migration data on this species.For the past two seasons, we have helped collect samples for Chris and "The Bluefin Collaborative", taking fin and finlet clips from fish we have caught throughout our charter fishing season. We are excited to continue this for years to come, and help refine the sampling process with Chris and the rest of the TBC team.In this conversation we discuss international bluefin tuna quota management, highly migratory species politics, old data sets vs what is being collected by "The Bluefin Collaborative", and much more. As always, we share a bunch of fish stories, including Chris's first experience fishing in Nova Scotia this past fall.Chris is a very smart and passionate guy, and has a ton of information to share.We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Chris Weiner@twofinblunahttps://bluefincollaborative.org/@thebluefincollaborativePodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMBG & SeaBros Vimeo VideosSeaBros Fishing WebsiteSeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Monahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesSupport the showThank you for listening!

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we were excited to host Ben Gahagan and Bill Hoffman from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). Ben Gahagan is the Recreational Fisheries Program Leader at DMF.  In his career he has served on multi-jurisdictional technical committees, stock assessment teams, and used a variety of techniques to understand the migratory movements and stock composition of fish as small as river herring and as large as Atlantic bluefin tuna. Ben is a lifelong angler and outdoorsman, he has been lucky enough to spend many hours pursuing those same fish and many other finned, furred, and feathered critters.Bill Hoffman is a senior fisheries biologist for the state, where he has been working for 26 years. He manages the Fisheries Research and Monitoring project which includes leading a team that collects critical data, both at sea and dockside, for a variety of Massachusetts commercial fisheries to support stock assessment analysis and fisheries management decisions. On the fisheries research side, Bill specializes in tagging fish using acoustic telemetry.  He has conducted multiple studies focusing on questions that range from understanding basic fish migration patterns of cod and striped bass to fishery-induced mortality for striped bass, cod, cusk, and haddock. When he is not at work, he can be found on his own boat fishing for giant bluefin tuna or in a tree archery hunting for whitetail deer on the Northshore of Massachusetts and in New Hampshire.  Last fishing season we collaborated with Ben, Bill, and the rest of their team, in helping them collect data for their recent efforts in analyzing post release mortality for striped bass. In doing this, we are working towards establishing healthy release best practices for this species.  Ben and Bill are developing these resources for recreational anglers that target striped bass and they include proper fish handling upon landing, how to use circle hooks, fishing tactics, etc.In this conversation we discuss this research program and our fishing trips from last season. We also discuss other ongoing research projects for striped bass and for several other species, including Atlantic mackerel and bluefin tuna. As always, our guests share a lot of stories, laughs, and some incredible knowledge.We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guests:Ben GahaganBill Hoffmanben.gahagan@mass.govbill.hoffman@mass.govhttps://www.mass.gov/info-details/striped-bass-researchmass.gov/striper-plateSeaBros Fishing WebsiteSeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Monahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesSupport the showThank you for listening!

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we were excited to host Captain Brett Wilson of Hindsight Sportfishing based out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.Over the past few years, we have had the pleasure of becoming friends with Brett both on and off the water. Brett is a great captain with decades of fishing experience under his belt. In our opinion, he runs one of the most professional and well respected charter operations in the Northeast.Brett is a second generation fisherman. His father had a fishing charter boat out of Rock Harbor, MA for over 20 years. He started as a mate on his father's boat at the age of 10 and progressed to working on several different charter boats as a kid. At the age of 18, Brett received his captain's license. With his license in hand, Capt. Brett headed to the Florida Keys, where he furthered his career mating for some of the best captains in the world.In 2010, Brett started Hindsight Sportfishing Charters aboard his 42' Duffy downeast boat. He runs over 150 trips a year with a stacked roster of returning clients and anglers. Overall, Brett puts in over 200 days per year on the water. During the winter months, he captains fishing charters in Florida and is also hired to run several sportfish boats in the sailfish tournament circuit.Brett is a savage. Taylor and I have admired his approach to charter fishing and tuna fishing since we were young. In this conversation we discuss some great topics and Brett shares some incredible stories. Everything from hand-feeding grander bluefin tuna on Georges Bank, tournament fishing for sailfish down in Florida, scary experiences and lessons learned on the water, hunting stories, and much more. We had a blast and learned a ton.We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Brett Wilson@hindsightsportfishinghindsightsportfishing.comPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMBG & SeaBros Vimeo VideosSeaBros Fishing WebsiteSeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Monahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesSupport the showThank you for listening!

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode, we have a few beers and enjoy a great conversation with our good friend and fellow northeast fisherman, Captain Jeff Weber. We have grown up fishing with Jeff for the past 16 years, and have had the pleasure of having some incredible, funny, and tough trips together. Like his Dad, Jeff has grown up hunting and fishing. His passion for the outdoors is incredible. The amount of time that he has spent in a tree stand, sitting on an anchor ball, or at the end of a pulpit, is sickening to think about.Jeff is generally a quiet guy. We were honestly shocked when he agreed to sit down and record a podcast with us. He is a captain that truly values the amount of time and experience it takes to become consistently successful on the ocean. Fishing is work for Jeff. He spends 200+ days a year fishing the waters surrounding Massachusetts. He commercially fishes for bluefin tuna, striped bass, lobster, mackerel, scallops, and ran charters aboard the Mass Bay Guides boats with us in the past. Jeff has fished for tuna from Stellwagen Bank to Georges Bank and beyond.This conversation was awesome. Jeff's fiance and Bryan's wife  join us for this one and provide some excellent input. It had been quite a while since we had all nerded out about fishing. Jeff talks about harpooning bluefin, we embellish a lot of old fishing stories, we give our opinion on our current fishery(s), and give our opinion on some potential impacts to our local waters.   Jeff has decades or experience and time on the water. You will always learn something new and discuss some sort of tuna theory when you talk to Jeff.We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!Stay Tight,- The Sears BrothersMonahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesDeep ApparelLive your obsession. 25% Off Promo Code: seabros23Costa Sunglasses"See what's out there."Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Seth is a Northeast native and grew up in a fishing family. He has decades of offshore experience and is a master of the art of daytime swordfishing and deep drop tactics.Seth's fishing career has taken him from the Bahamas to Nova Scotia chasing tuna, billfish and other pelagic species. He is a brand ambassador for Shimano, RonZ, and  is also owner/operator of Three Buoys Tackle (making custom deep drop gear). Seth also enjoys writing and educating fishermen. He has written articles for some of the most well known sportfishing publications, including Florida Sportfishing and The Big Game Journal.

Seth and his teammate took home first place...We had a lot of fun and learned a ton from this conversation with Seth. One thing is for sure, Seth is one of the most passionate fishermen that we have met.Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Seth Funt@seth_funtwww.gildedcrabbnb.comPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMonahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesMass Bay GuidesUltimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesL.T.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!We have three time  returning guest Captain Damon Sacco of Castafari Sportfishing. on the podcast. Damon is always a pleasure to talk to and is an incredible story teller. We share some suspenseful and hysterical fish stories in this one. We brainstorm heavily on what types of new methods we would love to try in our local waters.  Damon discusses rigging and trolling dead baits, and his desire to fish more natural dredges in the future. We talk about Damon's upcoming trip to Belize and what he hopes to accomplish on light tackle, and we have a discussion on how we see tournaments progressing into future years. We spend a bit of time talking about the upcoming 2023 Castafari Offshore Fishing Seminar (February 25 and 26), which is always an educational and exciting event to attend. Damon discussed some of the new presentations on tap for this year's event and announces some  legendary captains and fishermen that will be speaking.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Damon Sacco@castafariCastafari.comCastafari Seminar 2023OBBC TournamentPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMBG & SeaBros Vimeo VideosSeaBros Fishing WebsiteSeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Monahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesCosta Sunglasses"See what's out there."Rhodan MarineRhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor: Runs Further Lasts Longer Has More Thrust Provides “DirecBlack Oak LEDPremium Marine and Outdoor Vehicle Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinMass Bay GuidesUltimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Thank you for tuning in! This episode of the podcast is Part 2 of our 2022 charter fishing season review. Joining us is our newest crew-member, deckhand, and good friend Ben Makaroff. Ben grew up on the South Shore of Massachusetts and has been fishing since childhood. He began his journey freshwater fishing, quickly progressed to saltwater, and has now made charter fishing his career path and tuna fishing his addiction. Ben is the epitome of a well rounded fisherman, waterman, and woodsman. Prior to joining us, he had over 15 years of experience in carpentry and electrical work, which translated nicely into maintaining charter boats/anything... Ben has been a great asset to our charter fleet, and with his help we were able to stay up and running throughout a 250+ trip season last year.The 2022 Mass Bay Guides charter fishing season was excellent and one of our busiest to date. We saw incredible fishing all throughout our local waters.  Clients were passionate, funny, and a pleasure to have aboard the boats. Mother Nature also blessed us with good weather for most of the season, allowing us to be on the water consistently.Our main focus in this two part podcast was to review our 2022 logbook and discuss what we experienced on our local waters around Massachusetts last season. Per usual, we get side tracked a bit telling stories and jokes.We had a lot of fun on this one and we are officially in winter mode, and will be pushing out a ton of new content. It's hard to believe that we are already on Season 4 of the podcast.Thank you to all of our listeners for the continued support!Stay tight,-Bryan and TaylorMonahan's Marine Serving the South Shore's boating communityMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LED Premium Marine Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor SeaBrosFishing.comPodcast SiteTails & ArtworkMBG Fishing Charters@seabrosfishing@massbayguidesRhodan Marine Rhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor: Runs Further Lasts Longer Has More Thrust Provides “DirecL.T.
