Mahi and tuna fishing is great right now

So the 6 and 8 hour trips off-shore have been producing alot of fish lately. We use a variety of techniques to catch the most fish possible. Recently we have had some youngsters on the boat that have really got into fishing and I really love seeing this enthusiasm from these kids in the outdoor environment. Hope to see you soon Captain Joe

Custom Charters

For offshore and bad weather, the bigger the boat, the better. More money but a small boat may cancel the whole trip.

Bug Sportfishing

A local captain is a must. Fish here are not like the Gulf. Fish are picky and the captain must have multiple techniques to catch them.

Aloha Boat Charters

May want to wear some thin fishing pants and long sleeve fishing shirt…..horse flies can get rough near the mangrove trees at times. Still totally worth it.

Captain Pat’s Charters

I would book a full day trip, which allows you to spend adequate time fishing at several locations including spots that are further away from port. Full day trips also are better if you want to target multiple species of fish. Lastly, let the captain know what fish you want to target in advance so that he can plan accordingly.
