About Capt.Eric Stewart

Capt.Eric Stewart has been a licensed USCG Captain for 40 years and currently holds a 100 Ton Masters License. He grew up fishing the waters off Cape Cod starting on charter boats out of Rock Harbor in Orleans Ma. He graduated from the Barnstable Police Academy in October of 1985 and was employed by the Eastham Police Department as a patrolman.

In the spring of 1988, he purchased the Madame B ll from his former boss and started Tammy Rose Sportfishing. In 1998 he assisted on the build of a custom 33ft Nauset Bridge Deck specially designed to fish for bluefin tunas. The owner of that boat hired Capt.Eric and they chased Bluefin’s out east of Chatham for the next two seasons.

In 2001 Capt.Eric retired from the Polic Dept. and he and Mr. Cliff Hampton, opened The Hook-Up! Tackle Shop and Sportfishing Charters which operated for 14 years. During that time Capt.Eric built up a reputation as one of the premier Bluefin tuna trolling charter boats off of the Cape. In the last ten years Capt. Eric branched out and became a private boat captain on several boats from 48 to 68 ft in length and fished them from the Cape to the Canyons to Florida and through out the Bahamas to the Turks and Cacos. Capt.Eric has fished and placed in many of the Northeast’s premier big game tournaments.
