Make an adventure out of your next trip in Kailua-Kona and go fishing with Maggie Joe Sportfishing. Having logged many hours on these tides.
The fish in these waters include Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Bigeye Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and more with any luck.
You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your adventure begins aboard a 35' Bertram with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Maggie Joe Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

We had a very enjoyable trip. The captain and mate treated our party of three real well. They know the waters off Kona, and worked extremely hard to put us on some fish. My daughter, who has been deep sea fishing several times, caught her first blue marlin this trip. We will definitely take another trip out with these guys. I highly recommend them.
