SeaBros Fishing Podcast

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode we had the pleasure of having a conversation with local captain Matt Perachio of Tighten Up Charters, Cape Cod. We have known Matt for several years, and fish a lot of the same grounds throughout Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bay. Matt's offshore fishing career began during his childhood summers on Cape Cod with his family. Over the years his affinity for the ocean left him wanting more and eventually he transitioned from  recreational and commercial striped bass fishing, to the adrenaline packed pursuit of light tackle bluefin tuna and taking out clients for hire. Today, Matt is a full time charter fisherman and guide. He runs over 150 trips a season, with most of his trips being light tackle bluefin tuna trips; specifically targeting bluefin using casting and jigging tactics. Matt owns and operates a 27' Onslow Bay, and has several other charter captains and run and gun boats under his wing.Matt is a wealth of knowledge and is extremely passionate about all types of fishing. In this conversation, Matt takes us through his charter fishing program. We talk about different tactics that we use for chasing striped bass and tuna throughout New England. Matt goes into detail on how he approaches light tackle tuna fishing. He talks about everything from rigging, finding fish, to approaching schools of busting tuna. Recently Matt and his crew have started an online resource for everything light tackle tuna fishing called Bluefin Plus. If you are a light tackle junky, make sure you check it out.This conversation with Matt was awesome and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Matt Perachio@tightenupcharterscc@bluefin_plushttps://www.tightenupcharterscc.com/Podcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMonahan's Marine@monahansmarine MBG24 for 10% Off in StoreMass Bay GuidesUltimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LEDPremium Marine LightingGiantbluefin 20% OffAfuera Coffee Company massbayguides 15% Off First Coffee Order Rhodan MarineRhodan HD GPS Anchor+® Trolling Motor@rhodanmarine L.T.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode of the podcast it was our pleasure to host long time friend and fellow fisherman, Captain Jesse Martello. Joining him, another returning guest and owner of L.T Marine Products, Captain Chris Gergley.We have known Jesse since we started our charter fishing business over 20 years ago. He is an incredible person, amazing fishermen, and is one of the most mechanically gifted humans on the planet. If it is broken, Jesse can fix it. He has decades of experience in the automotive industry, and has translated those skills to his passion of boats and fishing. Jesse runs a charter business of his own "Think Big Sportfishing" out of Mystic, CT. Jesse and Chris actually met through us, and became close friends quickly; being that they are from the same area. Since then, Jesse collaborates with Chris on designing and testing products for L.T, and Chris works with Jesse on the charter boat.In this conversation we discuss the importance of preparation, time on the water, and the amount of dedication it takes to become a consistent charter fisherman. We talk about similar methods we share when tuna fishing on Stellwagen Bank, and we also talk canyon fishing tactics. We also spend a bit of time discussing manufacturing products for one of the most abusive environments and against some of the world's hardest fish to catch. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!Stay Tight,Bryan and TaylorSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guests:Captain Jesse Martello@jessemartelloCaptain Chris Gergley@ltmarineproductswww.ltmarineproducts.comPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMonahan's Marine@monahansmarine MBG24 for 10% Off in StoreMass Bay GuidesUltimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesBlack Oak LEDPremium Marine LightingGiantbluefin 20% OffAfuera Coffee Company massbayguides 15% Off First Coffee Order Costa Sunglasses"See what's out there."

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 Doherty 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.

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.

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 Brothers Deep Apparel Live your obsession. 25% Off Promo Code: seabros23Costa Sunglasses "See what's out there."Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

On this episode of the podcast we sit down and have a great conversation with returning guest, Captain Deane Lambros .Deane's passion for fishing began at a very young age, as did his exposure and dedication to offshore fishing specifically. Deane joined the Canyon Runner Sportfishing Team in 2009 as a mate. He then earned his captains license in 2010, and worked his way up to being captain of the "Canyon Runner" 48' Viking in 2013, at age 24. He then spent 14 years full-time working aboard the Canyon Runner fleet. Deane is a passionate, hardworking, and skilled captain who sets an excellent example of what a good charter captain should be. Deane still fishes often and works freelance aboard several boats during the summer and tournament season in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.*In August 2022 Deane was a crew member aboard "The Right Place" in the Mid-Atlantic Tournament and won 2nd and 3rd Place Tuna ($793,014 in winnings) In this conversation, we cover a lot of great topics. We are able to run Deane through our rapid fire questions of the day. He discusses why he decided to "retire" from Canyon Runner and move onto a new venture in the insurance industry and oyster farming. Deane also reflects on his career as a charter captain and mate. He tells some great stories about the scariest and funniest moments he's had offshore. We always enjoy talking with Deane and we learn something new during every conversation. Hope you do too!*This conversation was recorded in May 2022. Just before we began our own charter fishing season.

Our guest on this episode of the podcast is Capt. Ali Hussainy from Local Knowledge TV and BD Outdoors. Ali grew up living in San Diego, California and his first fishing experiences began with trout and other freshwater species as a kid. Fishing became a passion that only increased exponentially with his first exposure to saltwater fishing.After spending years in the tech industry, Ali and his partner Jason Hayashi took the leap of faith to make their love of fishing a business itself. The proliferation of the Bloodydecks.com fishing forum and now BD Outdoors, online fishing magazine; has launched them into the forefront of web-based entertainment, information and marketing.Since 2016, Ali and his good friend and partner, Captain Rush Maltz, have produced, hosted, and grown one of the most entertaining and cinematic fishing shows on television, Local Knowledge. The show explores the culture of fishing itself and follows real life characters that spend their lives dedicated to fishing and the outdoors. For the past seven seasons of filming, Ali has been fortunate enough to experience some of the most incredible fisheries that the world has to offer.  He has pursued many species of saltwater fish from Guatemala, to Magdalena Bay in Mexico, to PEI Canada, to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Season 7 of Local Knowledge airs on April 20th, and new content airs every Sunday until September 2022.Locally in California, Ali has been dialed in on the EPIC bluefin tuna bite that has been occurring offshore of San Diego for the past several years. In this conversation we get a chance to compare notes on our respective tuna fisheries. We discuss tactics, fish behavior, and generally nerd out on tuna fishing.

In 2013, Matt joined the Castafari team, fishing with Capt. Damon Sacco (@castafari), and has since become an integral part of that program's offshore accomplishments. In 2014, Matt partnered with his friend Mike Croteau (@mikecrow1), and became a partner and owner of Deep Ocean Apparel. Matt's focus at Deep is in sales management and social media. It is here where he can blend his passion for fishing and the ocean with a company that brands itself around the outdoor lifestyle.Most recently, Matt has been spending most of his fishing time with his brother Dan (@deuceman11) aboard their family's 46' Wesmac "Tuf Guy." Over the past several seasons the Smalley's have been dialed in on the giant bluefin bite that has been taking place in the summer months off of Rhode Island.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!Our guest on this episode of the podcast is Doctor Gregory Skomal. Greg is an accomplished marine biologist, underwater explorer, photographer, aquarist, and author. He has been a fisheries biologist with Massachusetts Marine Fisheries since 1987 and currently heads up the Massachusetts Shark Research Program (MSRP). He holds a master's degree from the University of Rhode Island and a PhD from Boston University.  Greg is a perfect example of someone having a dream and persisting to make it a reality. As a young boy, after the release of the movie Jaws in 1975, he aspired to become the well known fictitious marine biologist and shark scientist Matt Hooper...and that is exactly what happened. For more than 35 years Greg has been one of the most renowned marine biologists and shark scientists in the world.Greg has been actively involved in the study of life history, ecology, and physiology of sharks. His shark research has spanned multiple fish habitats around the globe; from the frigid waters of the Arctic Circle to coral reefs in the tropical Central Pacific. In recent years, Greg has become the face of all things shark-related on Cape Cod.  Skomal and his associate, John Chisholm, were the first to successfully tag and track great whites in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean using high-tech tags through the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. The organization now has the ability to track local and long-range movements, study behavior and biology, and estimate population size of great whites in the area. Since Greg began tagging white sharks in Cape Cod and MA, he and his crew have tagged over 280 white sharks. We have been fortunate to know Greg since we were kids, and we have always admired his passion and knowledge for the ocean. This conversation was truly incredible and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!Topics Covered:Becoming the real life Matt HooperThe film JawsTagging white sharks with a pulpit and airplaneThe largest sharks he has seen in Massachusetts (Curly)Shark attack stories and theoriesThe weirdest things he has found inside of sharksWhite shark migration patterns up and down the East Coast"Oceanic Phase" for white sharksThe current white shark populationThe current seal population and managementCatching and tagging pelagic species (tuna, etc.)Improvements in tagging dataSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Doctor Gregory SkomalGreg's FacebookAtlantic White Shark ConservancyWhite Shark Pulpit Breach VideoBooks: Shark Handbook, The Great White Shark ScientistJesse Jr. Charity Auction and RaffleThink Big Jesse CharityPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesDeep Apparel Live your obsession. 35% Off Promo Code: seabros35L.T.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode we sit down with our good friend and fellow charter captain, Shawn Rotella.Shawn originally hails from Virginia Beach, VA and currently resides in Kona, Hawaii and has been running a successful charter fishing business (Night Runner Sportfishing) in Kona for 15+ years. Initially, Shawn made the move to Hawaii to professionally surf, but plans quickly changed and he found himself on the path to being a full-time fisherman. We met Shawn several years ago through the tackle industry and lure making and we have been great friends ever since. Fast forward a few years and we have been lucky enough to fish together several times; both in Kona and up here in the Northeast.Shawn is  great example of a passionate and intelligent fisherman. His ability to stay relaxed, trust his instincts, and notice patterns on the water is incredible. He is also an extremely detail oriented guy. Every aspect of his tackle and vessel is rigged to perfection and is purpose built. Having a ton of experience with fiberglass and resin certainly helps him when it comes to preventative maintenance, customization, and innovation aboard the Night Runner.We always look forward to sharing a conversation with Shawn.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode we sit down with our first woman angler and fisherman on the podcast, Chloe Mikles. Chloe hails from North Carolina and has spent the majority of her life on and in the water. Her passion for the ocean has lead her on some incredible adventures catching, tagging, and studying some of the world's largest and most highly migratory species of fish.Over the past several years she has fished and worked along side a few of the most distinguished and successful scientists and fishermen; including marine biologist Barbara Block with the Tag a Giant Foundation and legendary captain and mate Charles Perry.Chloe's research and efforts have taken her from Gulf of St. Lawrence off of Nova Scotia tagging and releasing giant bluefin tuna , all the way to the Outerbanks of North Carolina tagging and studying tuna, blue marlin and mahi mahi.Not only is Chloe an aspiring scientist, but she has also been a dedicated athlete for most of her life. She was an undefeated high school swimmer and moved on to swim at a highly competitive collegiate level at Cornell University (class of 2020). Chloe is currently pursuing her PHD at Stanford University Hopkins Marine Station in Monterey Bay California.We had the pleasure of fishing side by side with Chloe and her crew in Nova Scotia in 2021; watching them deploy over 50 tags on giant bluefin tuna, and perform sample studies on commercially harvested bluefin at the dock. We cover an array of topics in the conversation and I think we all learned a lot from each other. Some of the tagging studies and recaptures that Chloe has been involved with are absolutely fascinating.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!On this episode we sit down with our good friend and fellow charter boat captain David White from Anna Maria Charters. Dave is an awesome dude. He's the epitome of a charter boat captain; passionate, driven, consistent, organized, thoughtful, and adventurous.  There's no wonder why the Anna Maria Charters fleet did over 400 trips in 2021...We have known Dave since 2017 and have been fortunate enough to share some amazing experiences on the water together. From 800 pound tuna in 8 foot seas, to backcountry snook in 2 feet of water. Most recently, we hung out and fished with him on a family trip down to Florida where we had to contend with some pea soup fog and finicky inshore gags. Anna Maria is truly a perfect place to take a family fishing. A beautiful place,  great accommodations, and in regards to fishing; there is always an inshore option (weather pending), and the variety of tasty offshore species is incredible.Dave is a salt of the earth type of guy... a python hunter... orchid enthusiast...and tarpon magician.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.*Disclaimer.

He has been featured in publications such as Florida Sportsman, Saltwater Sportsman, Kayak Angler, Saltwater Angler, Louisiana Sportsman and Waterline Magazine.Jason also has a ton of fishing experience beyond his normal territory in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the past decade, Jason has fished from PEI Canada to Key West, across the Gulf in Louisiana,  and in Panama.We have known Jason since 2015 where we met in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. We were fishing with the Bruce Brothers during the fall giant bluefin tuna season in PEI and Jason and his wife Heather were charter clients  one day. The day was epic. Hand feeds, kite bites and rough seas. Jason caught and released a 1000+ lber and a 700lber out of the chair. Throughout the day,  he mentioned that he was/is a charter captain out of Anna Maria Island, FL...and that is where our grandparents lived for over 30 years. Very small world. Since then, we have been close friends, our families hang out together, and we fish a lot together.Jason is a true salt of the earth and one of the funniest humans on the planet. He has his own vocabulary, and is never short of hysterical phrases. He is also a fishy dude. Jason is always dialed in and super passionate about what he does.

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!Our guest on this episode of the podcast is Captain Mike Zajac from Canyon Runner Sportfishing. Mike began his offshore career on the Canyon Runner back in 1997... 25 years later his passion for offshore fishing has only grown stronger.  He has been a member of various tournament winning teams in addition to catching thousands of tuna over his tenure with the Canyon Runner. Capt. Mike has worked with each of the Captains who have fished with the Canyon Runner Fleet over the years and has taken something from each of them and continues to learn every time he heads offshore. “What people need to realize is the Captains and mates on these boats want to catch fish more than anyone else. While we understand fishing, it is our desire that separates us from the others.”  Captain Mike also prides himself on making sure the charters come away with a positive experience. “Our number one goal is to provide an everlasting experience for our customers. For some it may be catching a trophy bigeye tuna, for others it may be hooking into blue marlin. Either way, we want our customers to walk away remembering their experience. Customer satisfaction is paramount to our success.” Captain Mike is one of the mainstays of the Canyon Runner Team. He brings the sense of camaraderie to the team and a sense of humor to keep everyone relaxed.​When Captain Mike is not pursuing pelagics throughout the summer months, he is teaching English at Asbury Park High School.  This gives him an advantage when speaking at the Canyon Runner seminars and events. His natural comfort speaking to people has allowed him to share his knowledge and translate it in terms so fishermen of all skill levels can learn from him. He has been a perennial Canyon Runner speaker covering a variety of topics about pursuing tuna from trolling to chunking to rigging baits. Captain Mike loves to share what he has learned and enjoys seeing others use the techniques he has taught them.We had a great time during this conversation with Mike. Lots of laughs, great stories, and a ton of expert knowledge shared by one of the best captains/mates in the charter fishing game.

Thanks for tuning in to the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! Our guest on this episode of the show is Captain Tommy Howd. Tommy is one of the pioneers of daytime swordfishing in the Northeast Canyons. He has more than 75 overnight offshore trips under his belt, including many fishing with his entire family aboard their 61' Richie Howell, "Tokatomist."Like many of us, Tommy began fishing at a very young age. Fast forward a decade or so, and he ended up landing in the cockpit of the "Canyon Runner", fishing with renowned captains Mark DeBlasio, Deane Lambros, and Mark DeCabia; who has been on our podcast before.Tommy's current fishing program has him freelancing aboard many private (and charter) sportfishing boats in the Northeast, as well as working with Capt. Damon Sacco aboard the "Castafari" for several trips a season. Tommy also has a well established record in many bluewater tournaments on the East Coast, and he has adapted his deep drop swordfish tactics to be fully IGFA compliant, making him a dynamic tournament captain and mate.We had a lot of fun during this conversation with Tommy. He shares some incredible fish stories and goes into detail on how he approaches daytime sword fishing in the NE Canyons. Lots of laughs and a TON of good information in this one.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.Thank you for listening and supporting the podcast!Stay Tight,The Sears brothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:SponsorsMass Bay GuidesCosta SunglassesLT Marine ProductsBlack Oak LED (Use promo code: Giantbluefin for 20% Off)Deep Apparel (Use promo code: Seabros35 for 35% Off)Castafari 2021 Virtual Seminar SeriesGuest InfoCapt.
