Listen to your captain and deck hand! Otherwise you might not have the strength to get that trophy to the boat.

In November maybe be prepared to bring a rain jacket. Weather was hit and miss in days leading up but water was pretty calm once we got to open water.

The experience of being on the ocean was worth the price of admission. It’s fishing, not catching, so don’t expect nonstop action. The captain put us on some small yellowfin at the start, so we all had fish to eat. We boated a 20 pound yellowfin and lost a nice mahi-mahi right at the boat. I did a trip at the Big Island a few years ago and had a similar experience in terms of fish at the boat. Ocean was bumpy but probably normal. Not an issue for me.

Trust your Captains as they are the more experienced ones when it comes to fishing in these waters and you’ll also catch fish!

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

Try and time your trip with good weather (low winds and swells). We had great weather and it added to our experience.

As would all fishing trips, you never know what you might catch, or not catch, keep that in mind first.

Understand that North Shore Oahu going into the winter can be on the rougher side

Remember it is called 'fishing' and not 'catching'. No one can control the weather, or make the fish bite. I have fished for over 50 years, so perhaps I have a bit more realistic approach, and expectations. You won't catch fish everytime you go out. When you can, and if you have the time and money, book a full day trip. It increases your chances of having a great day. Half-day charters are hard as it limits the time you have, and you may not catch the tides right.

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.

There is a great bite but small fish. Where there’s small fish there’s big fish tho! Capt said fishing is very hit or miss right now, so you catch what you can and hope for the big one! Coming back for my 100 lb’er

If you go out with the expectation that you are going on a sightseeing trip and fish are just a bonus, you’ll have a great day.
