I would suggest a short trip with as much action as possible. This will keep kids interested. We chose the sea bottom fishing so we could have a better chance at quick catch and release. It gave my son the chance to reel and check the bait, keeping him involved. I believe you have a better chance at catching fish that generally sit near the bottom with greater numbers. I don’t know that children would have the patience for trolling. Just my opinion

Book a full day versus a half day, allow the captain the time to get you out to the less fished hot spots

We called a lot of fish. We did some trolling and some bottom fishing from what we heard. We were catching more fish and other boats in the area.

Definitely go for all day. It gives you the best chances of catching fish. Bring Dramamine! We have a boat and have never been sea sick and a couple people were throwing up.

Have a plan to prepare your fish after the catch. In the past we have always taken our catch (non-Hawaii fishing trips) to a local restaurant near the docks to have them cook-up our catch for lunch/dinner. Could not find a restaurant to do this so cooked it ourselves which turned out great, but we were not initially prepared for this. Tuna steaks and Mahi-Mahi fish tacos were a success!!!

Be prepared for swells and waves and make sure to use motion sickness medication if you need it. The larger boat allowed us to go out further due to the waves on the day that we fished so in our case the added expense was worth it.

We did very well! Not every trip will be successful since its called "fishing". There's not a guarantee you will catch multiple fish on a 4 hour trip. We got lucky!!

Be patient with the boat crews. They will work extremely hard to put fish on the boat. It’s fishing and not catching!

It was our first time going out fishing in the ocean and in Hawaii; so yes it was a good time for me. I don’t have anything else to compare it to.

Definitely worth it! Be sure to take anti sea sickness medicines the night before and day of. I’m normally very prone to being nauseous and I felt great the whole time at sea. Our youngest got a little queasy but they were good to let her lay down inside the boat and she slowly felt better. Also, make sure you bring sufficient food/snacks/lunch for the trip.

Jigging takes rhythm and angling skills. So don’t give up or get frustrated. Trust the process, it’s more rewarding than trolling, netting, etc.

Go with the bigger boat you will be more comfortable. The seas can be a little sporty.
