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
