Flyer Sportfishing

Join Flyer Sportfishing on an adrenaline-pumping adventure off the island of Oʻahu. Captain Jared Dow or Captain Alex Uhlmann will take you fishing in some of the remotest waters off the North Shore to put you on big game fish. They accommodate all skill levels and invite you and your family on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Hawaii like never before!

You’ll be fishing off of a 31’ Eastern downeast, equipped with all the technology and amenities to ensure a successful day on the water. She’s powered by a 380 HP Cummins engine and comes with state-of-the-art navigational electronics to put you on fish with ease. She’s also outfitted with downriggers, outriggers, a fighting chair, and a livewell. You and 4 other guests will be able to fish comfortably at the same time and children above the ages of 5 are welcome aboard.

You can expect to target the biggest and “baddest” fish during your journey. Half-day trips will take you up to 15 miles from the coast, while full-day trips will see you fishing 30 miles offshore. No matter what you choose, your captain guarantees a great time!

Your main target species will include Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Spearfish, Wahoo, and Skipjack. You’ll be provided with top-quality Shimano rods and reels, so you can fish like a pro. You’ll also be supplied with high-performance lures, and live bait will be caught on the trip. 

You can keep up to 20lb of fish on half-day trips and 40lb on full-day trips, just bear in mind all caught specimens that are over 100lb are kept by the crew in their entirety. Fish cleaning and filleting services are included as well, so you can take home a delicious meal for the family.

Your fishing license is covered, so just come straight to the Haleʻiwa Boat Harbor, grab some sunscreen, and bring snacks and drinks for the ride. Please note GE tax(4,75%) and Harbor tax(3%) are not included in the price.
