Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!Our guest on this episode is our good friend and fellow fisherman, Matt Smalley.   Like many of us, Matt was essentially born into fishing and has spent the majority of his life on the water. He has over 20 years of offshore fishing experience and has respectably logged over 100 trips to the Northeast Canyons.Not only is he passionate fisherman, but Matt grew up as a serious athlete and competitor. He played hockey at a high level in high school and he attended Hobart College, where he played 4 years of Division 1 lacrosse. After graduating from Hobart in 2009, Matt went on to play lacrosse professionally for the Boston Cannons for 5 years as a defensive midfielder. In 2010, Matt became the sales manager for Gibbs Lures, focusing his efforts on refurbishing the company's image in both the inshore and offshore fishing community. 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. The Smalley's catch rate and success of the past few years, has earned them the respect as one of the top producing boats in their area.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!Topics Covered:Fishing superstitionsFishing together as a familyMatt's personal favorite facial hair stylesTournament fishing in the NortheastPlaying collegiate and professional lacrosseFavorite Northeast Canyons to fishICAST and other tradeshowsThe history of Deep Apparel and prioritizing the  environment with their productsGiant bluefin tuna fishing off of RI, NY, and CTHypes and gripes of using live bluefish for giant bluefin tunaCapitalizing on bitesEssential skills to have in the cockpitMatt's $100 5 rod offshore trolling spreadSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Matt Smalley@smoltz11@deep_apparelShopDeep.comJesse Jr. Charity Auction aCosta Sunglasses "See what's out there."Deep Apparel Live your obsession. 35% Off Promo Code: seabros35Black Oak LED Premium Marine and Outdoor Vehicle Lighting. 20% Off Promo Code: GiantbluefinMass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguides Deep Apparel Live your obsession. 35% Off Promo Code: seabros35Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesL.T.
