We had the best day! The captain was chill 😎  and helped us through the entire experience. First time deep sea fishing and now we have a new found love! We caught 5 tuna (17-25lbs) and hooked 7. We didn’t catch the elusive blue marlin but we did see another crew catch one in the distance so we had the chance to marvel in its magnificence. You can tell that Captain Dave loves what he does. He experiences the same joy as his customers when we celebrate each catch. Couldn’t recommend him... More

We had a great time with Captain Dave on a beautiful morning!  Beautiful views of the island, nice conversation, and a great catch as well.  My husband was excited to reel in a good size spearfish! Captain Dave was very gracious when one of us didn’t handle the sea so well. My husband very much enjoyed Dave’s conversation and insights to the island while cleaning the catch and providing us with a generous portion to prepare back at our rental. Thanks Captain Dave!

My friend and I had an amazing time! It was our first experience with serious ocean sport fishing, and Captain Dave made it easy and enjoyable with clear instructions and guidance. Thanks to his help, we landed a massive yellowfin right off the bat. The boat and gear were top-notch, and Captain Dave’s knowledge really showed. I’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time I’m on the Big Island.

Took the 7 hour trip and caught the elusive Blue Marlin.  It is incredible to catch one of these especially for the time of year being March 21st.  We had 4 other hits but no other hook ups, one Short-bill Spearfish and a Mahi were 2 of the ones that got away. The Captain is an old salt in a good way he knows his stuff and is personable.  The only room for improvement is to possibly do jigging when trolling is not working.  However, had he been receptive to this -we wouldn’t have caught...

Captain Dave was so great and really put in effort for us to catch a fish!! He changed lines several times and we finally caught a beautiful Mahi thanks to his efforts. Plus he is very personable and pleasant to be around. We will definitely book Au’ Shucks again when we visit the Big Island again!!
