My buddy and I fish all over the US, from Florida keys to California and all the way to Hawaii. I wouldnโt say we are experts, but we have high standards. Captain Akihiro is very hardcore and technical, he would want to teach you and get things done properly like a pro. Trip is 100% jogging oriented, no trolling, or baits, just with metal jigs. We caught 4 fish(2x AJ, 1X GT, 1X Ehu) under 6 hours and headed back early as we were super gased. Would def come back again, itโs one of a kind. One small note it, captain does charge an additional fee for Rod/reel/jig usage, might want to keep that in mind. Might be better to notify fisherman ahead of time as Iโm sure some ppl would complain about it. -DST

Fishing with Captain Akihiro Morioka owner of Jigging Honolulu was a blast. He specializes in the technique of fast pitched jigging. It is a challenge to learn, but we got it down pat. We caught 5 fish: 3 giant trevally (GT), 1 uku known as the blue-green snapper and a kagami ulua (mirror thread fin trevally). We stopped about 25 times and fished hard. Fast Pitch Jigging is not your standard Hawaii trolling day. You actually participate and work hard for the bite. It was great to learn a new technique from such an experienced professional. We would totally do it again!!! #jigginghonolulu #bluegreensnapper #mirrortrevally #trevallyfishing #fastpitchjigging @jigginghonolulu

I had an amazing experience on this jigging trip. The captain is very experienced and knew exactly where to find the fish. I was really lucky that day - I had a very high hook-up rate. Although I lost two fish due to the hook coming off and had five break off after hooking. I still ended up landing seven fish. Overall, it was an unforgettable and thrilling fishing trip. Highly recommend it.
This was our second trip. Captain Akihiro is very skilled at jigging. It was fun to learn more technique and practice. We hooked up quite a few times. Very fun, would recommend it, as itโs more action fishing than other charters. Water can be choppy so take your seasickness medicine and bring rain jacket. Thanks and see you again Captain!
Captain Moriokaโs an experienced fisherman that knows the spots. Heโll target the fish that youโre looking for to catch. Itโs all hands on evolvement, and he also patiently share his valuable experience. Caught my first GT on the trip which was what I was here for and many more. Thank you Captain Morioka
