Mike Murphy

On this episode of the podcast we sit down with two of our buddies and fellow Northeast fishermen, Captain Mike Murphy ("Murph") and Anders Slicklen ("Slick".) We have known both of these guys for a while now, and have had the pleasure of fishing together and competing against each other in our local offshore tournament circuit. They are both extremely skilled fishermen, and between the two of them have logged over 250 trips to the Northeast Canyons.Mike and Slick have spent the majority of their careers as freelance mates/captains. They have both fished on many reputable boats and programs including; Castafari Sportfishing, Rebel Sportfishing, Pescaria Sportfishing, Provider Sportfishing, Gypsea Sportfshing, Rally Cap Sportfishing, and NautiBill. They have both been a part of tournament winning/placing teams, including the Tri-State Shoot Out, Oaks Bluffs Bluewater Classic, Big Game Battle, and the Northeast Offshore Cup. Both of them have been contributors on over $300,000 in combined winnings.Slick is currently first mate aboard a 66' Spencer "Conspiracy" and has recently been fishing in Florida and the Bahamas.  Prior to working on Conspiracy, he fished with several living legends and mentors, including Captain Archie Jost, Joe Ferrule, and Mark DeCabia.Mike is currently working as a freelance captain and mate working aboard several boats throughout the 2022 fishing season, including his own boat. He has a ton of experience fishing the northeast canyons and he has run and fished with many reputable programs from Gloucester to the Florida Keys.These two are great examples of hungry, passionate, and hardworking young fishermen, and a lot can be learned,  and laughed about, from this conversation. We share a few fish stories, including one involving Mike diving in water to unwrap a blue marlin from the running gear... We talk a lot about canyon fishing, giant bluefin tuna fishing, daytime swordfishing, green stick fishing, and share some funny charter client stories.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!Stay Tight,-Bryan and TaylorTopics Covered:Developing your career as a young mate or captainOffshore fishing pet peevesBiggest bite storiesLucky shirtsBreaking things and losing things offshoreFishing mentorsAcquiring and valuing fishing knowledgeWeirdest things found in fish stomachsHow hard work makes the dream workGetting spooled by blue marlinWhat it's like to hook a big blue marlin on a greenstick...Jumping in the water to cut line off the props in 5000' of waterCatching giant bluefin on the trollKite bitesSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guests:Captain Mike Murphy@mikem_rphyAnders "Slick" Slicklen@sonofslickPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorMBG &amp; SeaBros Vimeo VideosSeaBros Fishing WebsiteSeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Costa 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 Support the show

Ali Hussainy

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. All accompanied by many laughs and excellent fish stories.We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!Stay Tight,-Bryan and TaylorTopics Covered:West Coast vs East Coast Bluefin Tuna FishingKite Fishing TacticsRigging and using flying fish as baitThe evolution of BD OutdoorsCreating Local Knowledge TVLocal Knowledge Season 7Tips for becoming a successful entrepreneurTuna fishing in Prince Edward Island, CanadaFighting bluefin standupWorld class fishing destinationsSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Ali Hussainy@bdoali@bdoutdoorsdotcom@local_knowledgewww.bdoutdoors.comwww.localknowledge.tvPodcast Social Media:Costa 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 Costa Sunglasses "See what's out there."Sat Fish Satellite Fishing Techonology - Promo: SEARS22 for $20 Off and 30 Days FreeDeep Apparel Live your obsession. 35% Off Promo Code: seabros35Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/seabrosfishing)

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.

Listener Q&A with OG - Round Two!

Greg Skomal

Doctor Greg

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 FacebCosta 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 Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesDeep Apparel Live your obsession. 35% Off Promo Code: seabros35L.T.

Shawn Rotella

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. He's an incredible story teller and is always willing to share knowledge.We hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did!Aloha,- The Sears BrothersTopics Covered:Big Blue Marlin StoriesAdapting  Hawaiian style lure fishing to the Northeast CanyonsHeavy tackle riggingBeing prepared for a monsterCatching and fishing live bait for wahoo, tuna, and marlinCharter expectationsLure makingShaping surfboardsFishing lures properly for blue marlinShawn's experience fishing in P.E.I CanadaBreaking into the charter fishing industry in HawaiiMaking the jump to full time charter fishingFishing in Kona, Hawaii"Gorilla panic"FAD (fish attracting device) fishingFishing on tide changesFinicky tunasSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain Shawn Rotella@fishingkonastyle@kona_luresFishingKonaStyle.comJesse Jr. Charity Auction and RaffleThink Big Jesse CharityPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgCosta 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 Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesL.T.

Capt. Shawn Rotella - "Fishing Kona Style"

Bryan and Taylor Sears (Sears Brothers) of SeaBros Fishing and Mass Bay Guides bring to you a podcast featuring Northeast fishing tactics, reports, detailed interviews and conversations with some of the best, and most entertaining, captains, mates, and anglers in their fishery and beyond.

Chloe Mikles

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. This is a great episode and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!Topics Covered:Fishing super powersTuna tagging projects and expeditionsTagging mahi mahiTagging and releasing grouper and other bottom fishTag and release methodsMortality rates on released bluefinTag typesRecapture data and storiesGeneral thoughts on the health of bluefin tuna stockFishing in OBXTuna Fishing in Nova ScotiaBluefin tuna food sourcesTuna teethOtolith and DNA samples and studiesGannet attacksStay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Chloe Mikles@coastal_chloeTag a GiantPodcast Social Media:SeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Costa 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 Mass Bay Guides Ultimate Fishing Adventures @massbayguidesL.T.

Dave White

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. We did have some technical difficulties during this convo. We did our best to splice it together and make it flow.Topics Covered:Starting a charter fishing  business from the ground upDave's transition from the restaurant business to charter fishingDave's passion and respect for tarponDave's love of food and cookingCharter fishing challengesFlorida's red tide and water quality issuesDogs/scary chihuahuasEverglades adventures and storiesBucket-list fly fishing destinationsStay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:Guest:Captain David White@captaindavid941Anna Maria Charters (https://annamariaisland.fishing/)SponsorsMass Bay Guides Charter FishingLT Marine Products (Use promo code: seabros for 10% Off)Dekit Marine FlooringBlack Oak LED (Use promo code: Giantbluefin for 20% Off)Deep Apparel (Use promo code: Seabros35 for 35% Off)SeaBros Swag (Tuna Mark Patch Hats)Social MediaSeaBrosFishing: @seabrosfishingMBG Fishing Charters: @massbayguidesBryan: @mbgbryanTaylor: @mbgtaylorSeaBros Fishing WebsiteMass Bay Guides WebsiteSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/seabrosfishing)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/seabrosfishing)

Capt. Bryan and Taylor Sears - "The Pilgrim Table"

Papi Chulo

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!Our guest on this episode of the podcast is our good friend and fellow charter boat  captain  Capt. Jason Stock (@captain_Jason_stock).Jason is an absolute gem. He grew up in St. Petersburg Florida, has been fishing his entire life, and has over 15 years of full time charter fishing experience.  Jason is an accomplished tournament fisherman  as well and has podium finishes in the FLW Red Fish Series and various other inshore and offshore tournaments across the state of Florida. 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. There is no wonder why he fishes 200+ days a year and has a charter boat called "The Full Send."We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Lots of laughs and some AWESOME ADVICE from a top notch charter captain.Thank you for listening and supporting the show!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:SponsorsMass Bay GuidesCosta SunglassesLT Marine Products (Use promo code: seabros for 10% Off)Black Oak LED (Use promo code: Giantbluefin for 20% Off)Deep Apparel (Use promo code: Seabros35 for 35% Off)Guest InfoCapt.

Capt. Jason Stock - "Papi Chulo"

Mike Zajac

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. If you wanted more insight on what it's like to be a full-time offshore fishing charter mate, this is a great episode to listen to!Thank you for listening and supporting the show!Stay Tight,The Sears BrothersSponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:SponsorsMass Bay GuidesCosta SunglassesLT Marine Products (Use promo code: seabros for 10% Off)Black Oak LED (Use promo code: Giantbluefin for 20% Off)Deep Apparel (Use promo code: Seabros35 for 35% Off)Castafari 2021 Virtual Seminar SeriesGuest InfoCapt.

Kenton and his crew aboard the Vicious Cycle primarily target, harvest, and commercially sell big eye tuna, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, wahoo, and marlin. They spend the majority of their time off the grid; 100+ miles off the coast of Hawaii at the islands' offshore seamounts. Prior to establishing himself in Hawaii, Kenton traveled and fished all over the globe from Jeffreys Ledge in the Gulf of Maine, to Costa Rica, Panama, and even all the way to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia working on game boats.We had an absolute blast during this conversation with Kenton! He is a true savage on the ocean in the best of ways.

Capt. Dave Carraro - "You Make Your Own Luck."

Bryan &amp; Taylor, 
 
I’ve fished with “Old Greg,” used your Squid-bars, attended your seminars/workshops and now listen to your PodCasts.  You guys do a really nice job sharing content that is Informative, Educational and Fun to listen to.  My favorite so far is “Pogies Make Weird Sh*t Happen.”  I look forward to going through all the rest before the boat is launched for the season.

Greg Sears

In this episode Bryan (@mbgbryan) and Taylor (@mbgtaylor) sit down with their Dad, the one and only Captain Greg Sears...Or as most people know him OG..."Old Greg".OG is truly the definition of a renaissance man. He has done A LOT in his life. He has explored much of the world and is obsessed with mastering anything that he tries and becomes passionate about. In regards to fishing and running businesses, he has over 20 years of experience running a multi-boat charter fishing fleet (@massbayguides). Prior to starting Mass Bay Guides, he worked aboard many different charter and commercial boats throughout Massachusetts. He also owned and ran a construction company for many years as Bryan and Taylor were growing up. On top of all of that, he is an amazing father.This podcast begins with OG talking about his early years, growing up on the North and South Rivers of MA, talking about what has changed since the 60s and 70s, comparing it to our current fisheries. OG also spent 6+ years in the United States Coast Guard. He tells a few tales about his time in the military, specifically about his time living in Kodiak, Alaska working aboard a USCG icebreaker. Being in the Coast Guard also brought him back to the South Shore of Massachusetts, spending his final years running small boats out of the Scituate, MA station.OG's sense of humor is certainly one of his best qualities. Filterless and hilarious. There is no shortage of fish stories, charter stories, and jokes in this one!

On this particular day, they were fishing the FADs (Fish Attracting/Aggregating Devices) about 30 miles offshore of the DR. They ended 7 for 12 on blues for the day, all in the 180-250lb range. 2 of the fish came from a double header. While fighting one of those marlin, a local commercial boat charged their boat and took their fish from them to be sold!

Fish Story - "Pirates" Took My Marlin!

Dave Good

In this episode we sit down with our good friend and fellow captain/mate Dave Good. Dave is a local salt, growing up in the South Shore of Massachusetts. He has spent most of his fishing career fishing for giant bluefin tuna in MA Bay, and hundreds of miles offshore fishing in the Canyons for various big game species. Dave has also been fortunate enough to work as a full-time deckhand in several private sportfish boat programs and brings a great level of experience to the table from the perspective of a hired crew member.Dave graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in fisheries science; which you will notice when you hear him implement data and "factoids" into his fishing tales.Dave kicks us off with a few fish stories from a recent trip to Florida kite-fishing for sailfish. He discusses a few things he picked up while down there and how they could be applicable to our various fisheries up here in the Northeast.The primary topic of discussion on this episode though is: How to you find your place fishing/working aboard a new boat, with a new crew, that may or may not already have a well developed system in place aboard their boat.We discuss a series of scenarios, real life experiences, and have a few laughs shedding light on an aspect of fishing that if not handled well, can drastically impact a day on the water, or even an entire career working on charter and private boats...Sponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:SponsorsDeep ApparelMass Bay GuidesOur GuestCapt.

Thanks for tuning in! This is the first of our "Fish Story" Podcast Episode Series. In our Fish Story Episodes we will be sharing and describing one epic adventure that we have experienced on the water. We intend for these episodes to be short format. A good way to get a laugh, perhaps learn something, or relate to an experience of your own!In this episode, we sit down with our good friend and fellow captain, Dave Good, and discuss a crazy day the 3 of us, and Taylor's wife Emily, had in July of 2019.We started the day off with a 1/2 day striped bass fishing charter inshore. That time of year we were snagging and dropping live pogies (menhaden) for big striped bass in 10-20' of water. There were massive schools of pogies everywhere in Cape Cod Bay last year. We would pull up to them, and use weighted treble hooks to snag a bait, and then open the bale to allow a striped bass, or other species to eat it. On this particular day, we encountered 400-700lb Giant Bluefin Tuna crashing through the inshore pogie schools in 12' of water in the mouth of the North River! It caught us completely off-guard...but once our morning charter was done, we went back out on the water and had quite the experience with one of those bluefin expectedly/unexpectedly...You do not want to miss this fish story!Sponsors, Information, and Links from this podcast episode:SponsorsDeep ApparelMass Bay GuidesOur GuestCapt.

On this episode of the podcast, Taylor (@mbgtaylor) and Bryan (@mbgbryan) sit down and have a great conversation with Capt. Conway Bowman (@conwaybowman). Conway is a charter captain and guide based out of Southern California, and is regarded as one of the top fly fishing guides and anglers in the world! His career has taken him around the globe experiencing some of the most popular and remote fishing destinations this planet has to offer. He co-hosted the television series "The Outfitters", he is an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide, and he has been featured in many publications and books including, "The Orvis Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing: 101 Tips for the Absolute Beginner." Conway's primary fishing focus currently is guiding his clients to catching MONSTER MAKO SHARKS ON FLY... This is all done through sight fishing these amazing gamefish and it is 100% catch and release. Conway is a solid dude. We met him while shooting an episode of "The Outfitters" aboard our boat the "For2na". We hit it off as soon as we met, and we were able to help him accomplish his goal of catching a Porbeagle Shark. In this episode we discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on our charter businesses, all the details about his mako shark fly fishing program, how to develop instinct and a network as a fisherman, and he tells some EPIC STORIES...including an 800lb mako...on the fly.
