What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Haleiwa, Hawaii for the first time?

If you have never done it before eat some ginger or take a Dramamine the seas are the seas the rough but not crazy. First word advice. If you’re not used to it don’t drink on the boat I’m talking alcohol that is otherwise have a great time.

The fishing could be slow it could be fast you are indeed taking a risk whenever you go but I beleave you have good chances going on this charter. Prepair for big waves and lots of rocking, it will be very difficult to stand on your own without a firm handhold. Be ready to help when called on beacuse it will happen at a moment's notice.

North Shore fishing is not like mainland fishing and can get a bit rough. Take your Dramamine the night before if you even remotely think you might get sea sick. The upside is there are some mighty big sea creatures in those waters with some really beautiful scenery!!!

I have no experience with fishing seasons... But we didn't even have a bite. The kids spent all thier hard earned allowance on an expensive boat ride. Not the captains fault... But they were super bummed.

Just be aware, it’s not just a boat - the waves up north can be rough so consider gering sea sick.

The charter was top notch. It’s too bad the fish weren’t biting. They want it as bad as us or more.

Sunblock and a rain poncho cause it does bowls all day long, and expect to have fun

Fishing is an experience, and not all about the catch. Bring a chill attitude, relax, soak in the environment and if the fish are willing, you'll bring them in.

These waters are not a "first timer" fishing - the waters can be rough. Be ready w/ a scopolamine patch!
