On this episode we met up with Lucas Pina and "Bubba" Indorato of North Atlantic Traders at the Monahan's Marine Tackle Shop Lounge. For those of you unfamiliar with North Atlantic Traders (NAT), they are one of the primary tuna buyers in New England, and one of the largest tuna buyers in the United States. The company began in 1994, and has has grown from one man and a truck to a fleet of drivers that spread out across the Northeast. When the domestic tuna season is closed, NAT also works with their international partners to source tuna to insure reliable year-round access to product.

Lucas is the general manager at NAT, and is responsible for grading and selling tuna and other fish throughout the season. Bubba is one of NAT's veteran truck drivers. You may have had Bubba pickup a fish from you, or you may have seen him on Nat Geo's Wicked Tuna.

We have personally been selling our tuna to NAT since Mass Bay Guides was started by our father in 1999. Working with Lucas, Bubba, and the other crew at North Atlantic Traders has been a pleasure. We truly feel they have always been fair and always work their hardest to ensure our fish are treated appropriately and given the best opportunity possible at market.

In this conversation we talk about all aspects of selling tuna. We discuss how fishermen should be treating their fish, how the fishery has evolved over the years, how the slower tuna fishing north of Cape Cod in 2025 impacted business, and we squash several conspiracies that some fishermen historically have with tuna buyers.

Lucas and Bubba are finest kind and we hope you enjoy this conversation with Mark as much as we did!

On this episode we had the pleasure of talking with one of the most well respected offshore fishing captains in the Northeast, Captain Mark DeBlasio of Blue Runner Sportfishing. We have admired Mark's dedication to offshore fishing for a long time. His attention to detail and professionalism in what he does are second to none.

Mark has spent the last three decades fishing the waters of the US East Coast and Bahamas. He is equally passionate whether chasing Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna in the Canyons, Giant Bluefin Tuna in New England and North Carolina, or wreck fishing New Jersey for Blackfish and Sea Bass. Mark’s reputation as a consistent producer along with his friendly demeanor, have made Mark one of the premier charter captains worldwide. During his career, Mark has placed in over 50% of tournaments entered, put clients on an IGFA all tackle records, he's been named a Top 50 Captain worldwide by Saltwater Sportsman and most recently voted the 2019 Top Charter captain in the United States by Sport Fishing Magazine.

Is this conversation we talk a lot about tuna fishing. Mark discusses the winter bluefin tuna fishery in the Outerbanks and talks about how he has seen the fishery evolve. He also shares the stories on some of his tournament wins and placements, including what it was like to take home over $1 million dollars.

Marks is a standout captain and guy. As humble as they come, but an absolute killer offshore.

We hope you enjoy this conversation with Mark as much as we did!

On this episode we welcome back Captain Mark DeCabia for his fifth podcast. Mark is one of a kind, and is always great to talk fishing with.

In this conversation Mark gives us the details on his new gig. He was actually in the midst of dry dock work on the Viking that he is now running when we recorded this. In addition to talking about his new program and 2026 fishing schedule, Mark summarizes his 2025 canyon fishing season. He talks about the nearshore giant bluefin tuna fishing off of New York and south of the Cape Cod, and of course he chats a bit about his favorite fish species; the mahi mahi.

Mark is always fun to talk to. His experience and knowledge of offshore fishing are an incredible resource that everyone can learn something from.

We hope you enjoy this conversation with Mark as much as we did!
