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

Capt. Rob Taylor and Capt. Seth Funt - "Bluefish Hotel"

Season 5 Episode 71

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! On this episode we have two returning guests, captains Rob Taylor and Seth Funt.  If you haven't listened to our first episodes with these guys, Rob runs a charter fishing company out of Newport, RI called Newport Sportfishing Charters. Seth mates for Rob throughout the season, has a boat of his own, and runs a successful bed and breakfast in Bristol, RI.  We always look forward to seeing these guys. They are both passionate fishermen, hilarious and love to nerd out on fishing theories.  

The coolest thing about hanging with Seth and Rob for this podcast, was seeing the reconstructed tuna skull that they brought with them. Seth's brother-in-law (@dakusbones) creates unbelievable museum quality artwork from fish skulls and skeletons, and the boys brought a 118" giant bluefin skull from a fish they caught together. It is truly incredible to see up close. It took over two years to finish and one of a kind.

This conversation with Rob and Seth brought us in a bunch of directions, covering a ton of topics. We recap their 2023 tuna fishing season, chat about rod blanks and tackle,  discuss how to keep live bait in perfect condition, and discuss tactics for catching giants off of the beaches of Rhode Island and in Cape Cod Bay.

It's always a pleasure to sit down with a couple of fun, like minded fishermen from our neck of the woods. We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!

Stay Tight,
The Sears Brothers
