Steve Brewster Biography:

I was raised in Rome, Georgia, I inherited a passion for fishing—and conservation—from my grandfather. After high school, I joined the Marine Corps and was first stationed in North Carolina in 2005, serving 10 years with deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Japan.

I caught my first New River speckled trout in 2009—a 28.5-inch fish that made me realize this was home.

Today, I run the YouTube channel  “Fishing with Brewski“ (https://www.youtube.com/@FishingwithBrewski), which started as a passion project and grew into a platform for change. I began attending NC MFC

 (https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/marine-fisheries/marine-fisheries-commission) meetings in 2015 over the flounder crisis and became committed to reform after witnessing repeated illegal activity go unpunished in our broken system.

Thursday at 6:30 is Member’s Night for the Sea Trail Fishing Club at the Pink Palace!

Located at 295 Rice Mill Circle, Sea Trail Plantation, Sunset Beach

Members, Guests and Visitors are encouraged to attend Tim’s talk:

“All Things Redfish”

If you fish for redfish, red drum, puppy drum or bull reds on the pier, the shore, or from a watercraft of some kind, Captain Tim’s talk should be interesting to you.

Captain Disano has talked to the Club before about other subjects and always has presented an interesting discussion. He has been a local fishing guide in the Sunset Beach-Ocean Isle area for several years and knows these waters well.

FACTS: Almost 60 million people went fishing last year, most of them in public waters. This is huge. It represents one-sixth of the U.S. population. In each case, there is a story to tell. Kids who went fishing for the first time with a father or grandfather (maybe even mothers these days)! Students from high school or colleges going out with their buds. People on vacation or those in fishing clubs like ours. Its easy to take those days for granted – the moments taken to stop by a lake after work, to visit a local lake, river or stream, to try to trick a fish with a lure or worm.

But public waters and access to them is not a given. Efforts are underway in House Bill HR-1 to sell off or transfer a vast areas of public lands. This item is hidden away among other parts of the bill that have recently gained exposure in the news media.

The Senate no doubt will revise the bill but at this time the other controversial items may well overshadow the potential loss of our parks, trails and wwaterways.

OPINION: Make your concerns known! If you value the future of our natural resouce recreational areas, contact your state Senators. Let them know.

The Monthly Members Meeting of the Sea Trail Fishing Club will be held at the Pink Palace in the Sea Trail Plantation at 6:30 PM next Thursday, June 19th.

Featured Speaker will be Stuart Creighton of the Coastal Conservation Association. The CCA of NC is a community of conservationists and recreational anglers working to promote sound management of public trust marine and estuarine resources to protect those resources for the enjoyment of current and future generations.

Stuart Creighton graduated from NCSU with a degree in meteorology before spending 25 years as a high school science teacher. Following that, he was the manager of River Neuse Suites in Oriental.  As his advocacy for restoring NC’s endangered estuaries grew, he became a member of the Coastal Conservation Association in 2015, and a life member in 2022.  He joined the CCA Board of Directors in 2021, serving as Fisheries Committee chairman and became the Vice President in 2024.  

Currently Stuart serves on the Northern Advisory Committee, one of the permanent advisory committees for the Department of Marine Fisheries.  He also has been a member of the most recent Speckled Trout and Striped Bass Advisory Committees and is a regular public commentator at the quarterly Marine Fisheries Committee meetings.

Stuart has been an avid angler all his life and has fished throughout the state.  Chasing trout and redfish on top is his favorite way to catch them.  

Also, Steve Heins will continue his discussion on “Local Fishing Spots”.
