Captain Dee Bradford started fishing in Kona in the early 80s, and hasn't stopped since! He's owned and operated High Noon Sport Fishing charters for the past 25 years. Capt. Dee, who has been profiled in media such as Marlin Magazine and Deep Sea Fishing Network, loves nothing more than showing his anglers the nuances of Kona fishing. Describing the underwater terrain, discovering ledges and bouys where smaller fish congregate, demonstrating the fish finders and chart plotters which help immensely in finding fish...you name it, and he'll fill you in on all the 'need to know' information! When it comes to fishing, Capt. Dee loves trialing new techniques and sharing tricks and tips with fellow anglers. How about his favourite catches? Well, he has three 900 lb plus Blue Marlin under his belt, to name a few. On High Noon, you are not just a spectator but an integral part of the fishing experience, so come aboard and get ready to reel 'em in!

This is the third charter I’ve booked here in Kona and the only one I would send a friend or relative too. Not only can Captain Dee put you on fish, he is also a great guy to share fishing stories with while up on the bridge. He is a well traveled fisherman with great memories to share. If you like to swap stories you will enjoy some time up top with Dee! As for down on the deck, Sawyer is a very knowledgeable and experienced fisherman with years of experience working the back deck! He started...

Full Day with High Noon and Captain Dee

VERIFIED

What an amazing day fishing out of Kona with Captain Dee and crew. Landed one monster yellowfin and several smaller tuna. Captain Dee and crew were very knowledgeable about fishing this area and local history. I highly recommend this boat and crew to anyone thinking of booking out of Kona.
