The experience was overall terrible! Old and limited equipment. Only three rods for 6 anglers. Boats exhaust got two anglers sick. The seating (coolers with old life vests on top) gave three of our anglers a bad rash with some blistering. Several guided fishing tours in Hawaii have been bad, but this was the worst!

Aloha-We are sorry we didn’t catch you fish today. We all hate it when we come back with no fish in the boat. We enjoyed your company today and wish you safe travels!

We caught a few tiny fish because the captain said we needed bait. Then tried 2 other techniques with no bites. The captain and crew said they have been doing this for 3 months and were leaving in November. Not worth $400 for two guys fob. You really only get 1 hour of fishing in with the driving and switching of setups.

Aloha Kristi, we are saddened to hear you did not enjoy our charter! Our captain and crew, while newer to the island, are both experienced fishermen. They have done a great job for us so far and have been catching fish. Unfortunately, our crew is leaving us in November but our captain is here to stay. The reef bottom fishing charter is meant to be fun and you normally catch smaller reef fish on that charter as advertised. The guys mentioned switching gears to troll for a little bit, which we normally do not do, to try to catch larger species in the area. This does take time to switch over the tackle and rods. They said you agreed to try for the larger fish and unfortunately did not hook into one. We know it’s frustrating when large fish are not caught. Perhaps booking a trolling charter in the future could help you target the species you desire.

No enthusiasm and very little to no fishing instruction. Honestly he seemed like he couldn’t be bothered. Crew mate fished instead of assisting the customers. Didn’t catch anything which was fine but would have liked it to be at least fun. Really wanted to like this but it was not a good experience.
