    the ocean is a great teacher

    Half Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Not only did the captain and crew teach me a few things about deep sea fishing (unfortunately no fish caught), they also taught me how how to handle myself on a boat on the ocean. The motion of the ocean taught me that taking Dramamine once I boarded was too late, to avoid eating acidic food, and to eat my food slowly / chew it completely. (My regular apple for breakfast was not a good idea - it led to an unsettled stomach).

    Memory of a lifetime.

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Captain and crew were great. They were extremely firendly and accommodating and worked hard all day to put us on the fish. Fortunately the fishing gods were in our favor as we had a banner day landing two striped marlin and 6 amberjack tuna. Everyone got in on the action. Great trip for those wanting a true deep sea fishing experience in deep open waters.

    Reported catch:
    Skipjack Tuna
    Striped Marlin

    Started the day with a pair of the fattest skipjack tunas I have ever caught. Lots of birds and we kept trolling. Captain stuck with it amd headed North. Before too long WHAM! After about an hour boated a 95# yellowfin and a nice fat 110# yellowfin! Captain amd Mate were excellent. The boat was great and ises top quality equipmemt! GREAT TRIP!

    Big Mahi

    Full Day Trip – Private • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captains Joe and Jeff were fantastic! They’re no joke. I booked a full day of fishing and I believe they were working as hard the last minute as they were the first. Of course nothing is guaranteed, thats why it’s called fishing and not catching. They put us on some nice mahi and tuna. Great guys with lots of experience. I would definitely book my next trip with them.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Excellent trip and great crew!

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Captain, Mike and Blake did a great job. It was tough going for most of the day, but they stayed at it and were able to finally get us on some fish! I highly recommend them. They did a great job.

What's biting with Whipsaw Sport Fishing in Honolulu

October marks the second Mahi Mahi peak season, so this is an excellent time to target this colorful and delicious fish. The Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna bite should still be good, too. Alternatively, head inshore and bring home something tasty from the reefs.
