For anyone who has not been deep sea fishing, or on a boat ever or anyone who is visiting Hawaii- keep your expectations in check. Deep sea fishing is not like fishing on a lake or in a river. The boat will list high and low and it will rain, sometimes you will feel uncomfortable, you will be tired, the sun is hot…. Come prepared for all of the above and please take your motion sickness medication the day before and morning of. Deep sea fishing is an intense workout. Lol.
I have nothing but praise for this operator. Safety was priority number 1. I brought my 2 sons for a 1/2 day charter, my younger sons 16th birthday.
Both crew members were very knowledgeable and communicated what was going on very clearly. They also were generous knowledge-wise with the local fishing situation and techniques which I appreciated very much because although I live on Oahu I have no experience deep sea fishing. I appreciated the education. The boat is very clean, no odor at all which is amazing, and had comfortable seats for the cruise.
We had a high wind swell for most of our trip but the captain was able to navigate that no problem, I am really impressed how they were able to set the lines without skipping a beat.
I am not totally sure if this was by accident or intention but I communicated via the app before this trip that I was looking to hook an ahi and mahi mahi for this trip but that is exactly what we got. They knew right where to go. Fishing isn’t easy so this was so impressive to me!!
We would up with a 120lb yellow fin tuna and a mahi mahi. Probably around 10lbs I’m not totally sure.
The crew made the trip fun, educational and clean up, resetting was like a machine. These guys know what they are doing. I would recommend them to others.
You can go with someone “cheaper” but you get what you pay for. I would book again. Fish on!!
