    captain and mate made the trip awesome

    We had an amazing experience, crew was unbelievable. seeing dolphins was a bonus. caught so many fish our arms were wore out. We had a slow start but the crew worked their magic and got us on the fish. They definitely improved my fishing skills. Can't say enough about captain and mate absolutely 1st class service.

    Awesome time

    My husband and I had an amazing time fishing with Jordan and Chris! We caught a skipjack tuna and a dorado, which made an already great day even more memorable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and Oahu, and we loved hearing what they had to share. This charter was a highlight of our trip, and we would book with them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

About Skipjack Tuna fishing

Food Value

Game Quality
Average

Skipjack Tuna are fast, hard-fighting game fish that travel in big schools. Anglers love them for rapid strikes, constant action, and great fun on light tackle. If you want steady hook-ups and blistering runs, Skipjack Tuna fishing is a smart choice.

You can target them by trolling small feathers, spoons, plugs, or strips behind the boat. Casting metal jigs or soft plastics into surface feeds also works well. When fish sound, vertical jigging helps reach deeper schools. Live bait like sardines or anchovies is a proven option. Medium spinning or trolling gear with a smooth drag and strong leaders is ideal.

Expect fast-paced action with chances for double or even triple hook-ups. Look for diving birds, rips, temp breaks, and floating debris, which often mark feeding fish. This trip suits beginners, families, and seasoned anglers who enjoy steady bites. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses, layered clothing, and any motion-sickness aids you prefer. Pack a cooler if you plan to keep fish, and follow your crew’s handling tips for fresh, clean fillets.

Rules for Tuna vary by country, state, and local waters. Always check license and permit needs before your trip. Confirm any open seasons, size limits, and daily harvest rules that apply where you will fish. When in doubt, ask your captain and keep only what you plan to eat.
