Jigging Honolulu 

4.8/5 (68 reviews)
 1125 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96814, United States

Running angling trips out of Honolulu, Jigging Honolulu invites you to experience the Hawaiian fishery at its greatest. Your guide will be Capt. Akihiro. Before settling on O’ahu, he plied his trade fishing in Japan, Alaska, as well as Big Island. He’ll make sure your trip is enjoyable and as productive as possible.

Capt. Akihiro specializes in jigging trips. The Hawaiian waters are home to numerous reef species. These include Amberjack, Onaga, and Bonito, to name a few. On a typical trip, you’ll spend up to 8 hours targeting these amazing fish.

Your boat for the day will be a 26’ True World Marine that fits up to 4 anglers. The boat comes with a toilet to make sure you have the necessary comfort on full day trips.

You can rent rods and reels for $30 per person and jigs for $10 apiece. In the event that one is lost, there is a fee of $30 for it. Before your trip, you’ll also need to buy a Hawaiian fishing license.

To help preserve the ocean and keep it teeming with fish for generations to come, Capt. Akihiro usually practices catch and release. However, you can ask him about keeping some fish if you’d like to enjoy it for dinner.

There will be complimentary drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer.

Hop aboard Jigging Honolulu and embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure in the beautiful waters of Hawaii.

Fun Day of Fast Pitch Jigging!

VERIFIED

Full Day Trip on April 14, 2025

Fishing with Captain Akihiro Morioka owner of Jigging Honolulu was a blast. He specializes in the technique of fast pitched jigging. It is a challenge to learn, but we got it down pat. We caught 5 fish: 3 giant trevally (GT), 1 uku known as the blue-green snapper and a kagami ulua (mirror thread fin trevally). We stopped about 25 times and fished hard. Fast Pitch Jigging is not your standard Hawaii trolling day. You actually participate and work hard for the bite. It was great to learn a new technique from such an experienced professional. We would totally do it again!!! #jigginghonolulu #bluegreensnapper #mirrortrevally #trevallyfishing #fastpitchjigging @jigginghonolulu

Full Day Trip on June 30, 2025

I had an amazing experience on this jigging trip. The captain is very experienced and knew exactly where to find the fish. I was really lucky that day - I had a very high hook-up rate. Although I lost two fish due to the hook coming off and had five break off after hooking. I still ended up landing seven fish. Overall, it was an unforgettable and thrilling fishing trip. Highly recommend it.

Second Trip

VERIFIED

Full Day Trip on May 22, 2025

This was our second trip. Captain Akihiro is very skilled at jigging. It was fun to learn more technique and practice. We hooked up quite a few times. Very fun, would recommend it, as it’s more action fishing than other charters. Water can be choppy so take your seasickness medicine and bring rain jacket. Thanks and see you again Captain!

Captain Morioka’s an experienced fisherman that knows the spots. He’ll target the fish that you’re looking for to catch. It’s all hands on evolvement, and he also patiently share his valuable experience. Caught my first GT on the trip which was what I was here for and many more. Thank you Captain Morioka

Had so much fun with Captain Aki. He shared cool stories about fishing in Alaska and his long road trip. He knew exactly where to find the fish and snapped the best photos! We pulled in 4 amberjacks, 1 rainbow runner, 1 bonito, and 1 kaku. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime day. Thanks, Captain!
