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.

Never again.When you ask for the balance in cash, maybe on 600 you should be able to give change of a $20, no offer of credit...
