Our upcoming speakers February 11th, 7 pm at the Cask N Flagon includes the Sears Brothers (SeaBros) where they will detail Sound Conservation Minded Bluefin Tuna Catch and Release Methods to Reduce Post Release Mortality.  Captains Bryan and Taylor Sears have been fishing the inshore and offshore waters of New England for over 30 years.

The Sears brothers grew up together on the South Shore of Massachusetts, fishing the North River for striped bass and quickly graduated to offshore fishing at a very young age. Bryan and Taylor both attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy where they became USCG licensed captains as well as received degrees in Emergency Management and Facilities Engineering, respectively. They have captained and mated on many boats throughout the Northeast, but most of Sears brothers’ time is spent running their family owned/operated charter fleet, Mass Bay Guides, along with their father Capt. Greg Sears. Mass Bay Guides focuses their efforts primarily on bluefin tuna in and around the waters of Stellwagen Bank. Bryan and Taylor are also known for their company SeaBros Fishing. SeaBros creates marine related artwork, provides fishing information services, and is also the home of the “SeaBros Fishing Podcast“.
