  1. Captain Damon Sacco - 2025 Bluewater Season Review

    Captain Damon Sacco - 2025 Bluewater Season Review

    Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode Captain Damon Sacco of Castafari Sportfishing returns for his fifth podcast appearance with us. Damon is a pleasure to talk to and always has great stories to share. In this conversation, Damon reviews the 2025 canyon fishing season. He talks about what he experienced in regards to fishing, weather, and he discusses the epic billfishing that occurred during the 2025 Cape Cod Bluewater Classic. Damon also talks about the bluefin tuna fishing near the wind farms south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. We theorize as to why the bluefin fishing was very steady on those grounds and not so much in Massachusetts Bay. As usual Damon has some awesome travel fishing plans for this winter, including fishing in the Red Sea. He talks abut where he's going and what bucketlist species he's looking to target Finally, we spend time talking about the upcoming 2026 Castafari Offshore Fishing Seminar (February 28 & March 1 in Newton, MA), which is always an educational and exciting event to attend. Damon talks about some of the new presentations on tap for this year's event and mentions some  legendary captains and fishermen that will be speaking.

  2. The Sears Brothers - 2025 Charter Season Recap

    JAN 20

    The Sears Brothers - 2025 Charter Season Recap

    Happy new year everyone and thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode, Taylor and I sit down to review the 2025 Mass Bay Guides charter fishing season. It's been a bit since recording our last podcast, and it felt really good to sit down and talk fishing. Since our season ended, we have spent the past couple of months focusing on family time and relaxing during the holidays.  In this conversation we discuss our experiences and what we learned during each phase of our fishing season last year. We talk about the early migration striped bass fishing, shad fishing, summer & fall tuna fishing, and the amount of shark bi-catch that we had last season.  2025 was hands down one of our most challenging years of fishing in our area, especially in regards to tuna fishing. We theorize and explain our best educated guesses on why we didn't see consistent tuna fishing in Massachusetts Bay last year. This was also our first fishing season without our father "Old Greg" in the mix. He's still around, and doing well, but some medical issues impacted him prior to our fishing season and he couldn't be on the water last year. It was great to sit down as brothers, talk fishing, hunting, and just catch up on life. We are both excited to get season 7 of the SeaBros Podcast going. There are some great guests and topics lined up for this year. As always, thank you all for listening and for the support!

  3. Captain Joe Dion and Mike "Hackah" Miller - "Bronze Mackerel"

    Captain Joe Dion and Mike "Hackah" Miller - "Bronze Mackerel"

    Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we had the pleasure of chatting with two very experienced bluefin tuna harpooners, Captain Joe Dion and Mike "Hackah" Miller. We have known Joe and Mike since our dock rat phase as kids. Mike has been chasing giant bluefin tuna since the hand-line fishing days in the 1970s and 1980s. Joe has been tuna fishing since he was a child, and his first ever trip harpooning was with Mike back in the 90s. Both of these guys were recently featured on the new Discovery Channel show "Harpoon Hunters." If you haven't watched the show yet, you absolutely should. Some of the aerial shots they captured are incredible. In this conversation Joe and Mike talk in detail about the harpoon fishery. They discuss everything from flying and spotting fish from the airplane, the type of water and conditions they look for from the tower, and the different behavior fish exhibit during their migration into New England waters in the early summer. Some of the stories that these guys share are amazing. They talk about what they have found in fish's stomachs, sticking big fish right off the beach in shallow water, and much more. This podcast was truly awesome. Joe and Mike are hilarious and shared a lot of information with us. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

    Justin Braun - "Chatter Lures"

    Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with Justin Braun, owner of Chatter Lures. We have known Justin for several years now, and have put his products to the test aboard our boats. Justin and his crew build a wide variety of offshore fishing tackle, with spreader bars and trolling lures being their core products. The innovation and rigging consistency in every product that Chatter offers is what separates them from many others on the market. In this conversation we talk about the origins of Chatter Lures and what inspired Justin to start a tackle company. We discuss the new age of side tracker bars, trolling spreads, and how to build bars that can withstand the bite from some of the most powerful fish on the planet, giant bluefin tuna. Justin is an awesome guy. He's very passionate about what he does and takes pride in the products that he creates for fishermen all over the world.
