Thank you for tuning in to the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we sit down again with our deckhand Ben Makaroff and our father, Old Greg, to review our 2024 charter fishing season on the Mass Bay Guides boats.

The Mass Bay Guides 2024 season was action packed. We ran over 250 charters on our boats, experienced many amazing days of fishing, laughed a lot, and had incredible guests aboard.

The main focus of this conversation was to review our logbook from this past season and discuss what we experienced in our local waters around Massachusetts. We talk about everything from light tackle shad fishing in the spring months, striped bass fishing through early summer, and share what we experienced during our tuna season. Old Greg ensures there is plenty of filterless humor sprinkled throughout our discussion...

We had a lot of fun on this one and we are officially in winter mode. We will be pushing out bi-weekly content this off-season as we start season 6 of the podcast, so stay tuned.

Thank you to all of our listeners for the continued support. If you have any questions, topic ideas, or recommended guests for future conversations, please reach out to us on our social media platforms (Instagram, Patreon, and Facebook).

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!

On this episode we had the privilege of sitting down for a great conversation with Captain Bob DeCosta of Albacore Charters, Nantucket. We have known Bob through our network of fellow captains for quite some time, but have never had the opportunity to sit down and talk off of the water until this podcast.

Bob is a second generation charter boat captain with over 50 years of experience fishing the waters around Nantucket and Cape Cod. Bob runs Albacore charters along side his son Ray, who when not running charters with his dad, is a fire fighter on Nantucket.

Bob is a wealth of knowledge and is a master at putting his clients on fish. He is an incredibly well rounded fisherman, and is one of the most consistent producers in the northeast. In this conversation, Bob shares the story of how he started fishing. He talks about growing up on Nantucket, how fisheries have changed, and the tactics that he uses in his local waters. As always, a bunch of fish stories, tuna theories, and laughs are shared in this one.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
