Reel Escapes Hawaii

Member since October 2023 Kailua-Kona, United States
Background
I've been fortunate to spend the better part of my life fishing but even more fortunate to turn that passion into a career. Growing up on the Great Lakes in Canada I fished for the typical freshwater fish but also in the big money Salmon Tournaments. Once I moved to Hawaii I was able to spend more time on big water and really developed a passion for chasing these bigger fish. I don't just operate a business, I love what I do and even on my days off, you'll find me out on the water dragging lines or dropping bait.
Techniques
While I love the troll for the big game fish, I also love dropping bait to bring in the big ahi's or mahi mahi's.If one style of fishing is producing better results than another, we will switch it up.
