We had fished with Captain Jim a little over a year ago, and while it was an enjoyable trip, there was no action until the final 30 minutes, when we caught an 80lb blue marlin. This trip was very similar, as Captain Jim and deckhand Tevin were constantly switching up lures and tactics.  A couple of near misses with a billfish and big bull Mahi, but it looked as if the trip would end without a hook up. Once again, about 30 minutes from the dock, a reel starts screaming!  After amazing... More

Our family of 4 (two adults, two kids 10 and 12) had a great 3/4 day trip. The kids are beginners, but the crew did a great job showing them what to do. We hooked a 110lb blue marlin early (my 12 year old got it to the boat, but it slipped away). The captain/crew saw that catching any fish was more important to my family than the big prize fish and managed to find a nice school of yellow fin and rainbow runners. The kids had an amazing time and declared that we need to do this anytime we are in... More

Jim and his first mate Sean are 2 local guys that have a ton of knowledge to share, and not just about fishing.  They were working the lines almost non stop for the entire 6 hour trip all the while taking the time to explain to us what they were doing while they were doing it.

My two friends and I throughly enjoyed our trip with Konadice! We had close to one of the best days of fishing you could possibly have. Filled the cooler with skipjack after hooking singles, then a quadruple and then a double, and a few more singles. We then pivoted to marlin where we were successful in landing a nice marlin. Afterwards, we were able to also land a short bill spearfish which was a great catch. Captain and first mate were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and brought us... More

We were out for a full day fishing trip. Seems as the bite fell off as not many fish caught that day by anyone.  The captain and the deckhand were great, the 2 Jimmys,  kept us updated on what was happening. Lots of conversation on fishing tactics being used and their history of fishing the Kona waters. I would them as their as knowledgeable and experienced.  We caught a couple of smaller fish, but again that’s why we call it fishing and not catching. Thanks again to Captain Jimmy for a good... More
