Listen and learn! Hawaii fishing is a different ballgame and following directions and letting the crew share their knowledge is paramount to a successful day.

Check weather and reviews, understand that it’s fishing, not catching and catching is not guaranteed and should be treasured.

Yes, some of our shipmates had little experience with big water fishing. They made sure to coach them as they got the fish in

Of course when windy it can be rough. No guarantees to catch fish so you just have to get out there and put in your time and it will pay off.

Be aware that the ocean can be rough. It’s not in their hands. so please don’t complain if you get sea sick.

A three hour trip isn’t enough time to get to where the fish are and actually catch some of them. It’s a good trip for inexperienced anglers and tourists.

Motion sickness medication - ocean is unpredictable. Have more cash on hand to tip the captain and crew better for such a great time.

I booked a different trip and it was not exactly what I hoped... this was a true fishing boat with crew to match. Would absolutely go out with them again.

Get a good guide - fish are pretty different in this area from other coastal areas in the mainland US.

Get away from the bustle and hustle of the island city life and enjoy the sea...after all, there's plenty of fish in the sea.

If you think you might get sea sick take medicine night before. Waves can be a little choppy but boat is very big lots of room.

Trust they will take you out to the right fishing grounds. Can be slow due to weather at times but they will bite.

Remember it's fishing. If people caught a monster fish everytime they went out, everyone would be a sport fisherman for a living.

Fishing anywhere is unpredictable; fish don’t bite, aren’t there, the weather is crappy, the water is turbulent, etc. The experience is worth it.

Can't say we got false advertising for deep sea fishing but did not get deep sea fishing instead we got a boat ride and some sailing.
