What anglers said about fishing in The Big Island

We also fished October 2. We raised a marlin on 9-30, but failed to hook up. Fish at least two days, landing a billfish anywhere takes a few hours on the water. The price to fish Kona is cheap compared to everything else there and you have lures in the water as soon as you leave the marina and weather and ocean are pleasure. Remember sunscreen.

Be prepared for a great time and go out with Seth. He worked hard to find us the best spot and altered his original plans for where we were going based on how the fish were biting to make it the best experience for us. One bit of advice is when reeling in follow what captain says for the right amount of drag, continuous pressure when reeling a fish in and you can have a great time.

Very fishable, leeward water so not often rough or unable to go out due to wind or waves. Good place to blue water fish if succeptible to motion sickness and typically in sight of shore.

Fishing for big game can be a long boat ride or can be fast paced. Every day varies. The ocean is big. Be patient and enjoy the day regardless of the results.

It was slow, but that is how fishing can be sometimes. That's why it's called fishing and not catching.

It was hit or miss, that why they call it โ€œfishingโ€ not Catching. Captainโ€™s were both professional and very knowledgeable

We caught a ton of tuna! We also saw people catch blue marlin. The tuna was quick catching, but the marlin takes lots of patience.

Take a morning trip and a long trip- the fish werenโ€™t biting today, but more time and earlier gives you a better chance. Still a great experience, and would absolutely recommend!

Was tail end of peak season when we went out, but still lots of action on the water ,plenty of schools of skipjack jumping out of water. If you have made it all the way to kona Hawaii is 100% worth going out and trying your luck, a memorable moment and amazing experience

Remember, it's called fishing, not "catching". Luck was on our side, but that's now always how it works.

It's fishing - not catching - even if you are in great fish waters - it isn't guaranteed that you will catch fish, much less multiple fish
