Island Currents - Big Island Hawaii 

Went out on a 3/4 day trip with Captain Adam and deckhand Michael. These guys went all over looking for the elusive bite. Finally around 11:45 we got our hit and got a nice sized striped Marlin. My 15yr old fought him the whole way. Great coaching from Michael to help him navigate the experience and learn how to be an angler. Great boat work and communication by deckhand and captain as lines stayed tight. Highly recommend. Communication was perfect before during and after trip. Only watch out is that the Boat was perfect for the three of us. I would say that if it’s more than 4 that boat would be tight for long periods of time. Cabin was adequate but smaller so know that if you have a large party.

Had some confusion with the intended time of departure but got underway at 7:00a. Michael was the crewman that provided us some details regarding local fauna and sea life in the area. After running for an hour and a half, we hooked up on 3 rods at the same time. Obviously, there was a lot of confusion. We landed 32lb and 20lb Ono's. We lost the third. Everyone in our party was very excited and pleased with the result. Michael fileted the Onos and we left with a gallon bag full of delicious fish that we chowed on for the rest of our trip.

Directions in the dark were a bit confusing at first light. Once we got on the water we hooked a couple of mahi mahi but got the one in the boat. We saw a pod of pilot whales and we watched a marlin raise but didnt get it hooked. Brent was awesome in educating us about Hawaiian fish and fishing and very personable. Howard tried to get us on the fish and was very knowledgeable about the waters. Whenever we werent getting success with trolling we switched to jigging for tuna. Overall a great experience and after a 20 year mission to catch mahi this crew did an amazing job in making it happen. Thank you for having us and mahalo!!

My wife and I had a wonderful time. Captain Howard and the first mate were great on giving lots of insight both in the difference in fishing on the open sea and about the island. Within minutes of being out if the bay the hooks were in the water. And within 30 minutes we had not 1 but 3 bites go all at once. We were able to get 2 of them in but the 3rd got away. But that's OK because we were able to get a total of 5 Ono within our 4 hours which was amazing. We even were lucky enough to have a sea turtle waiting at the dock for us on our return. We for sure will be booking again when we come back to the island.

We did a half day trip on 5/24/21 with our three kids (12, 10, and 7). We had a great time. Fir the first three hours, we only had some teasing bites. Some had even given up hope. But the , like a 4th quarter comeback, we caught two wahoo at the same time. Ten minutes later, we were reeling in a third. What a rush! Captain Howard was great, and our deckhand Sara was one of the hardest working, most enthusiastic people I had ever met. They made us feel like we were all a team and anything that we reeled in was huge win for the entire boat. Once we found the fish, it was go time! Frantic movement, adrenaline, and excitement. Kids were loving it and the crew was tremendous. We were also fortunate to have Captain Mike who was in training on our boat. He pulled all of the fish back into the boat for us and filleted our fish on the dock. Great crew! Great fun! Great boat! I’d highly recommend taking this trip.

Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting today. As Captain Scott said, “There is a fine line between a fishing trip and a boat ride” 😎 Nevertheless, we had a great time with Scott and First Mate Brent, and thoroughly enjoyed our morning off the Kona coast. They even kept us out a bit longer than the time we had paid for in hopes of getting a bite, but the fish refused to cooperate today. Great company and conversation, and one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. We’ll definitely try again with these guys the next time we come over. Thanks guys!

Excellent! Had a blast! We didn’t catch this trip but we will definitely book again. I’ve personally had the opportunity to fish in several countries and states and I’m telling you, we felt like we were part of the boat. It’s called fishing for a reason, and these guys know what they’re doing. Great boat, great captain, great deck hand, great gear and a great trip!

The entire trip was perfect! From the Coast Guard Safety briefing, to the crew’s assistance in landing both fish simultaneously! They even had snacks. Woop woop! Truly the best half day trip we’ve ever had! No doubt the memories of this amazing trip our boys will remember for the rest of their lives!

Great value for what you get!! Not only you get to see the beauty of the Pacific Ocean, but you also learn a lot about fishing. During our trip my husband and I caught an Ono. After the trip Capt. Mark filleted it for us. We ended up leaving with priceless memories and tons of fish!

First time fishing in ocean with Captain Mark and Michael. Fishing had been a little slow but they guys worked super hard to find info and get us on some fish. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The 4 hour trip limits you on how much you can prep and cover, would do a longer trip next time. Had an awesome time and will absolutely do it again. Thanks guys!
