It was our party’s first time deep sea fishing and what a great time it was. The captain and mate were super friendly and knowledgeable and made the day easy and comfortable. We didn’t end up with a catch, but as any angler worth their salt knows, that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. Also, we went early October, apparently in-between seasons for some of the fish and kinda slow. But it was a great relaxing day and we absolutely loved every bit of it! Highly recommend Konadice for a day in the water!

Captain Jim and his first mate were awesome. Laid back style with steady action.  Captain Jim was great with my young boys, allowing them to select their own lures and help attach them and throw them in the water. He found us skipjack tuna, short billed spearfish, and striped Marlin. We were 75% catch rate on the day, only missing one hit! 10 out of 10 would recommend Konadice Sportfishing! Can’t wait to get our mounted Marlin back home in Michigan! Thanks for a great Trip Captain Jim!

Captain Jim worked hard to get to the fish. He found life with birds and dolphins chasing flying fish. We hooked onto a small skipjack tuna early but could land it. Then the next hit was a big blue marlin but the hook didn’t set. We had about four other hits.
Then finally landed a big skipjack tuna, which was a good fight for its size. We eventually had it filleted and shared with the Boat.
On the way back to the docks Jim kept his optimism about ‘you never know, we could get a hit on the way in’. Sure enough just as his deck hand (Kawelo) was reeling in the lure we hooked onto a small blue marlin that my son was able to reel in.  We referred to it as the bottom of the 9th scenario. We were literally half a mile from shore when we hooked onto the marlin
We took pictures and video of it, and unhooked to let it go. Jim did tell us that if we catch a marlin then we’ll have to let them go. But we’ll keep everything else.
I was a little confused by this because I’ve seen other boats keep their marlins. (It was something to the effect that the marlins don’t sell well and it’s too much trouble?)
I was just glad both my sons were able to reel in something. The blue marlin was a beautiful catch nonetheless. A catch of a lifetime for sure.

Got a couple Ono and Tuna, great day on the water, had so much fun the first day had to book a second! Shout out to Capt Jim, Sean, Momi and King!!!

Tied into a bunch of skip jack within the first hour, couple big hits and two got away, our fault.  Planning a second trip in 2 days!  Highly recommend!
