If you are looking for an amazing fishing experience in Kona I would definitely recommend Reel Escapes for your next adventure! The captain and deckhand made it very interactive and such a fun experience for us! We learned a lot about the island and the waters! If you can, I recommend booking the 6 or 8 hour charter! Definitely an experience we will never forget!

Kenny was great! Very experienced and knowledgeable. Two in our party caught fish while two others had near catches. He clearly knows the area and where to catch fish. He adjusts his trips based on the group and was super nice. Would definitely recommend booking with Kenny. When we come back, we will definitely book with him again.

The Captain and crew will guide first timers through the process to keep everyone safe and maximize the opportunity to bring the fish. I’ve been on a few charters in Honolulu, all outstanding experiences.

Keep an open mind, hang loose, and have a good time. It's fishing after all, you never know what you will catch.

It's fishing. Understand catching is not guaranteed but your Captain and crew will do everything possible to make sure you have the best odds and a great time doing so!

Be prepared for some rough seas, though, as a few of us experienced sea sickness. Despite that, we highly recommend this adventure!

I recommend planning your trip 7 days before the end of the full moon and try and get the current going into the island.

Lots of sunscreen and patience. Remember it’s fishing sometimes you catch fish sometimes you don’t. Don’t go in expecting to catch a monster fish just because you’re in the ocean.

We made the right choice to book with Deep Sea Fishing Charters and would rebook again. Some other captains were “salty” when just talking to them on the phone but Captain Matt was genuinely happy and excited with us.

If you are looking to catch quanity then bottom fishing is a great way to go but if you are hoping to catch larger fish then you are going to want to go deep sea fishing (trolling).

Captain Paul will work hard for you. If you are bringing beginners be sure to give him plenty of notice so he can catch enough live bait. Experienced.fishermen will get plenty of action throwing spoons but those not adept at casting may be better off with live bait. We caught 23 fish. Most were 2-3 lbs. This is a catch and release fishery

Remember it is called a fishing trip not Catching trip , the captain and crew will do their best but it's still up to the fish if it wants to take the hook.

Targeting Blue Marlin is a marathon. Lots of trolling with no action, then complete chaos when the bite happens. One fish per trip is not easy. By catch is minimal.
