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

Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in. Our guest on this episode of the SeaBros Fishing Podcast is Captain Jamie Bruce of Bruce Brothers Fishing Charters based out of Prince Edward Island (PEI) Canada.
We have been close friends and basically family members with Jamie, Troy, and the rest of the Bruces for more than a decade now. Over the last 11 years we have been fortunate enough to enjoy many great days on and off the water.
We cover A LOT in this conversation. Jamie explains the history of fishing, specifically for giant bluefin tuna, within 4 generations of Bruce family fishermen. He discusses how the charter fishery evolved in PEI back in the 70s, and what it looks like today. We tell many fish stories, but focus primarily on what we have seen, learned, and changed over the last 10 years of fishing together and separately; both in Canada and New England. Some of the topics we cover are:

Hooking fish (giant bluefin)
Chumming and hand-feeding
Fighting fish
Landing and releasing fish
Drag pressure
The resurgence of the bluefin tuna population
Tagging fish and studies that we have been a part of
Charter client pressure

We think you guys will enjoy this episode. Jamie was the perfect guest to end the 1st season of the SeaBros Fishing Podcast. We always enjoy catching up with him.
Thank you to everyone for listening!
Stay Tight,
Bryan & Taylor

Joe Gugino - Costa and the Canyons

On this episode of the SeaBros Fishing Podcast we catch up with our friend and fellow fisherman Joe Gugino.
Joe is based out of Winthrop Massachusetts, and spends most of his time on the water in the areas surrounding Boston Harbor and North Shore, MA chasing trophy striped bass.
Taylor and I met Joe in 2019 when we sat down to discuss becoming a part of the Costa Sunglasses pro-program, which Joe helps coordinate in his role as "Fishing Community Leader" with Costa.
During our conversation, Joe discusses how he maintains relationships with all of the pros, anglers, and charter captains that are affiliated with Costa, but the majority of our time is spent discussing his rookie year of offshore fishing in the NE Canyons and local tournaments.
Joe is an energetic guy and is full of great stories and experiences. We had a lot of fun recording this episode and we hope you enjoy as well!
Stay Tight!

Next Episode

Capt. Mark DeCabia - "Stay Awake."

Make sure you listen through the end on this one...
On this episode of the SeaBros Fishing Podcast, we sit down with a legend of the canyon fishing game (and fishing in general), Captain Mark DeCabia.
Mark has over 30 years of fishing experience across all categories; commercial fishing, charter fishing, recreational/sportfishing, and tournament fishing. He has proven himself in the Northeast and East Coast and has earned the reputation as one of the top hi-liners in our industry. Mark has a long list of distinguished accomplishments in his fishing career including;

In the Bite Magazine: "Top Young Guns Of Sportfishing in 2018"
Many podium appearances and tournament wins, including the Mid Atlantic 500
Biggest Big Eye Tuna, Montauk Canyon Challenge, 2017 & 2018
Pro Staff Member for PENN, Momoi, Simrad, Costa Sunglasses, and DEEP Apparel
Owner, Broadbill Fisheries - Tackle Manufacturer
Previous captain and mate at Canyon Runner Sportfishing

The list goes "on and on."
Mark is currently the captain of a 52' Viking, "Rebel", and manages a fleet of commercial monkfish boats out of Shinnecock, NY.
We have known Mark for many years; presenting at the same seminars and workshops in various locations, including the Castafari Offshore Fishing Seminar. This was actually one of the first times we have had a chance to sit down and pick Mark's brain ourselves over a long conversation. Mark is a passionate and detail oriented guy. He proves that with his answers to our questions, his epic fish stories, and his willingness to give details on the tactics that he implements aboard the "Rebel".
In this episode Mark talks about night fishing in the canyons, his obsession with big eye tuna, what he would run for a 5 rod canyon spread given only $100, and much, much more.
Most importantly, Mark shares a terrifying experience he had sinking and having to get into a survival suit and life raft in the middle of January off of NY. Reiterating that fact that safety is paramount.
We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
Thank you to everyone for listening!
Stay Tight,
Bryan & Taylor
