    Another amazing day on the water

    Full Day Trip • 7 adults

    This was our second time out with Captain Mike and Noah and this time Alvin was part of the crew and they couldn’t have been more gracious. Within Two hours we had caught a 125 lb blue Marlin. They were as excited as we were, and although we didn’t catch anything else, it was a magical day on the water. Calm seas, just enough cloud cover to keep it comfortable and a great crew. What more could you ask for. As a bonus, since we really wanted to catch either a mahi mahi or a tuna and we didn’t, and their other boat had caught two mahi mahi , they had a bag of fresh mahi waiting for us at the dock. This has made for a couple great dinners. Above and beyond. If you are looking for a great time, especially with a larger group, don’t hesitate to call on Maggie Joe

    Ono Trip

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 1 adult

    Absolutely a dream trip on the Seahawk out of Waikiki. Nice boat and equipment, the boat had AC in the galley plus a fridge for food and ice chest for drinks. In the bow there was a clean head a comfortable looking bunk. Nice rods and reels with excellent and abundant choices of lures. Crew was very friendly, knowledgable, kind and generous. Fishing was excellent and the bite was hot. The crew was extremely skilled at landing the fish and gave clear instructions. I would highly recommend. 10/10

    Marlin tail 2 Mahis & a Tuna

    3/4 Day Trip • 6 adults

    Great day on the Maggie Joe! Had such a great time. It was a quiet morning at first but ended with a bang! We caught Mahi Mahi back to back, a good size yellow fin tuna, and brought a monster 500 Marlin that we almost got into the boat but wrangled the hook out at the last minute. The Captain & crew were so awesome, fantastic hosts! We sincerely enjoyed our time and we’ll see y’all again next year!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Blue Marlin
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Captain Jason was outstanding as he aggressively looked to put us on game fish. His Deckhands, Geno & Kaui were also excellent. I am grateful for the two full days of fishing with Captain Jason, his crew and the Maggie Joe organization.

There may not be the same number of Billfish around in November, but Bigeye Tuna arrive in force. These are some of the tastiest fish out there, so you will find you have lots of new friends if you bag one!
