Lucky Lass Haleiwa Charters is a family-owned fishing company located in Haleiwa, Hawaii. It offers small intimate bottom fishing tours and trolling out of Haleiwa Harbor. Captain Matthew Ratoni can’t wait to get you hooked up on a fish off the famous North Shore Oahu. The captain offers a different charter fishing experience than most North Shore charters, allowing you to target rarely sought-after trophy fish. Join him aboard and have a fishing trip to remember!

Your adventure will take place on the captain’s 20’ Shamrock offshore sport fishing boat. It runs on a 135 HP diesel inboard engine, uses modern navigation electronics, and can accommodate up to 3 anglers. The boat is also equipped with outriggers and a livewell and features a multimedia system and an ice-box.

Captain Matthew uses both light and heavy tackle and offers bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, as well as drift fishing. The wide choice of species you can fish for includes Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Green Jobfish, Rainbow Runner, Bluefin and Giant Trevally, Wahoo, and many more. You’re allowed to keep the fish you catch and you’re welcome to bring kids on the boat.

The captain will take care of all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. If you choose to keep your catch, he can also clean it and fillet it for you at no extra fee. Before you start the trip, just be sure to have some snacks, drinks, and your fishing licenses.

Lucky Lass Haleiwa Charters and Captain Matthew are waiting for you!

    This evening inshore predator tour is a chance to hook a real monster as you hunt the elusive Ulua/Giant Trevally. You'll be trolling inshore with light tackle hoping to land a dream fish. These are some of the hardest fighting fish on the reef, so be ready to have some sore arms and a smile. Tour starts a few hours before the sunset based on the time of the year and you come in after dark. Times are not subject to change. This is primarily a catch and release tour with some exceptions based on size.

Other reef monsters you can encounter include species such as Uku, Barracuda, Snapper, and Goatfish and they are sure to make your pole bend.
