Konadice Sportfishing 

Jim and Sawyer know the drill. Jim ran the boat working the current seams and FAD buoys. Sawyer taught us how to fight fish properly, explained the different techniques we used, the fisheries biology, and Hawaiian history. They worked really hard changing lines, lures, and spots until the fish were dialed in! We caught some scad for bait and a couple skip jack tunas. Then we got a really nice yellowfin tuna trolling shortly after moonset! It was a blast being on the calm Kona waters. We saw lots of dolphins, a mega yacht, nice scenery, and the beautiful clear pacific blue water. The Ahi tuna fight and fresh lilikoʻi were awesome!

We went deep sea fishing for my wife’s birthday hoping to catch something big! We found this boat and ended up absolutely loving it. We also felt like it was a good deal for what you get. The crew was super knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, great at teaching and very professional. We ended up catching some big tuna and had a great time. We were able to take a few smaller fish home to cook as well that they cut up for us. We seriously had a once in a lifetime experience and I mean that because I am not the type of person to write reviews. Definitely consider this charter if you are in Kona!

Capt. Jim and Tevin were awesome. They asked what we were hoping for and they more than delivered. Everyone in our family of 4 was successful catching multiple fish (tuna) through careful consideration of where fishing was hot and following the feeding patterns of birds/dolphins. As we were trawling on the way back to the harbor a big tuna caught a grip and our 11 year old went to work in the fighting chair. After an hour long fight an ahi tuna over 100 lbs was successfully loaded on the deck. After we pulled into the harbor, Tevin carefully sliced up some fillets for us to take over to Panchos for them to cook us a delicious tuna mexican style. We had an unreal experience and are extremely appreciative of the attentiveness that the crew provided.

I took my 11 year old son out on the 10 hour trip and we were not disappointed. We left the harbor about 5:30 AM and the bite got hot after a couple of hours. We hooked up on multiple striped marlin and we got to fight and land a pair simultaneously. We also had multiple "double hookups" on tuna throughout the day. We ended up landing two striped marlin, three yellowfin tuna, two skipjack tuna and some rainbow runners. The crew was fantastic and kept us on the fish. They cleaned some of the catch for us back at the dock and we ate like kings for the rest of time on the Big Island. You won't regret booking with Konadice!!!

Captain and Crew was exeptional,we knew it was tough out on the water with very few bites,Capt Jim and his crew tried everything to get us on fish even going as far as taking us out longer than we were supposed to,Capt Jim wanted to go check out a spot were they catch alot of Mahi Mahi,we got there dropped down livebait and nothing,time is running out bit that didnt stop them we trolled back on the way and he came down and told me there is good marlin arounds and next moment its on reel running marlin jumping,Cpt Jim did a great job to hunt it down and keep me in the fight. Its NOT just a JOB or another day out for Capt Jim Its his PASSION!Recomend this trip for anyone willing to roll the Dice with Konadice!

Right from the start Greeted and welcomed us and introduced them selves, captain Jim and crew mate Kevin was very genuine, kind, and had so much aloha spirit, made this experience that much more comfortable. All the boyz caught fish and soaked in knowledge and stories from Captain Jim and Kevin, we enjoyed and had a blast learning and doing the hands on different fishing techniques and pole to use, from catching the live bait all the way to catching the big boy fishes, they gave the boys the bestest fishing boat experience of a life time!. 100/10 recommend! Mahaloz Captain Jim and Kevin for that amazing Boat fishing experience, we definitely will see you guys again in the near future.

As a longtime angler, I don’t pay a lot of attention to the things that don’t have anything to do w/ catching fish. Konadice is not the newest, shiniest boat in the harbor; BUT the Capt & crew will put you on Fish. They are extremely knowledgeable of this area & fishery. We booked a 6hr trip & we got on a tuna bite fairly quickly. Landed a couple of nice ones & got “hooked” up on 4-6 more. We switched over to Mahi Mahi & put (2) 4 footers in the boat!! Highly recommend Konadice Charters!!

The captain and his deckhand were very genuine and so knowledgable. I had smaller children ages 5 and 7 and they had a blast and we caught tuna all day and ate some of our catch fresh there. We seen so much wildlife dolphins whales in the distance and it couldnt of been any better. They were very family orirented and gentle why we fished for giants and gave us so many pointers including telling us of a great beach for the rest of our trip I am so thankful we rolled the dice with these guys.

Very friendly, even when the fishing was slow it didn’t feel like it because everyone was so nice talkative and super friendly and it just showed that they wanted you to catch fish like if it was them catching fish thet take very good care of you  highly recommend booking this charter and go all out get the longest trip you can. I definitely think it’s worth it wish I would’ve had more time out there  no question about it when I come back i will be booking the same charter again 

We began our morning with a very nice sized Yellowfin Tuna and immediately after that, hooked onto a beautiful Blue Marlin with 4 Skipjacks following this. Our captain was very helpful in landing every fish we caught that day and provided lots of humor. His first mate Kevin was very helpful and went completely out of his way to make our experience everything we could’ve hoped and more! Me and my father were very pleased with our trip and wholeheartedly endorse this crew to any anglers looking for an amazing trip.
