What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Honolulu, Hawaii for the first time?

This crew will go out of thier way to make sure you get a fish. They tried everything and it ended up working out. Amazing knowledgeable crew that was fun. Definitely would book again!!

Set your expectations. It's called fishing and not catching for a reason but the Captain and crew did their very best.

I picked a trip that would be good for first timeers...kids. I was completely satisfied with the whole trip.

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.

2 hour trip is reasonable price to get out on water and catch reef fish.... big stuff you wanna go half day at least.

It’s windy and can be rough. We knew we wanted to jig fish. It is not standard trolling

Yes, remember no Bananas and definitely get a sea sick patch and apply it night before.

If you are deciding on a charter trip I definitely recommend nick and his crew and an 8 hour trip

Fish haven’t been biting too often compared to other times of the year I have been here

Don’t take my word for it but go with Maggie Joe and have your own experience !

I highly recommend you going out with this crew to enjoy your fishing experience

It was our first time fishing, so I would absolutely recommend this to other first-timers!

We didn’t catch anything and didn’t see bait balls either. Bad day I guess.

Do more research find a good boat and at a good time of the year then go fishing

This was our first trip! I would highly recommend going! Great experience all around!

Told them what we wanted to catch and they made it happen. Just an amazing experience!

Sunscreen, sunglasses, lucky fishing hat and motion sickness medicine (just in case)!!

Yes, this is a great trip for beginners or seasoned fisherman. Really great experience overall.

If you are coming here to catch fish, August thru October tend to be more productive.

This is a great easy fishing trip to just catch something and have a lot of fun.

Pack a lunch, sunblock, and lots of water. If you have motion sickness get some scopalmine

Winter fishing season has its calm days but be prepared to work hard on a rough day.

Life's short if your looking here you already want to do it. Book now you will not regret it!

Longer trip, spend more time on the water, deep sea probably better than bottom fishing.

Yes but keep an eye on the weather and prepare yourself for larger swells than you are used to

Probably for a first timer, bottom fishing would be better. Trolling is feast or famine.

Had alot of activity and Captain Mike worked to get us on Fish. The Mate Hannah was outstanding.

Make sure for this trip you are physically fit enough and don't get really seasick.

Bring lots of money and take a marlin charter or fish from shore, like I see the locals doing.
