    BIG Ahi and some Aku

    Uscita di 6 ore3 adulti

    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 had a once in a lifetime experience!

    Uscita di 4 ore - 14:306 adulti

    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!

    Amazing Trip w/ a grand finale

    Uscita di 4 ore - 12:30 PM2 adulti

    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.

    Trip of a Lifetime!

    Uscita di 10 ore — Esperienza completa2 adulti1 bambino

    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!

Cosa abbocca con Konadice Sportfishing a Kailua-Kona

La follia estiva inizia a placarsi a settembre e la stagione dei tornei volge al termine. Questo può essere ancora un ottimo periodo per il Marlin blu, e non dovrai lottare per lo spazio per pescarlo.

Weather report

feb 10, 2026 • Kailua-Kona
There are 2 huge reasons why kona is so unique and special to fish. 1- we dont have to travel or run amywhere one reason our charters are less wxpensive. 2- we are protected by 3 huge 11,000 fr walls mauna kea Mauna loa and hualalai your normal wind oattern is east to west sometines north in it and sometimes sourh cery very ware does it cone weat to east. North of the airport is more open so waikoloa shows wind alot more than kona south well southpoint is far south as 10 hours trolling Anyway if you notice the blue is all calm water as wind hits the big island it dissapates sliws down wraos around but the lee way from mountains gives ys about 10-12 miles of good water. Wich our 1000 phathom ledge or 6000ft ledge is only 3 miles off shore. Before canceling duento weather give it a moment consult your captain. High surf warning closing beaches has very little affect unless it isnjus huge and closijg the harbor out wich hapoens once in a blue moon look how the wind is parted around rhw big island. Cancelation die to weather will always refund your deposit if accomidstions for another day arent possible. If your feeling lucky come on out on the Konadice “i got you” your in good safe knowledgabke 35 year caotain in kailua kona Hope this is helpful aloha?
