Did not get any bites but it was a good boat ride and the capt. and crew were knowledgeable
Had a 3/4 day trip and didnโt get a single bite. I know itโs called fishing for a reason and not catching. However, we basically drove around for hours with squid lures skipping off the top of the water. No live bait, no chumming, or any other fishing techniques. I guess you have to pray the fish find the lures bouncing off the surface. Maybe I just have higher expectations or the fishing in Kona just sucks in general.
Sorry you did not get any bites.ย Itโs Kona, and here you will catch something really big, something great to eat or nothing at all!!ย We are a blue marlin fishery and not so much for action fishing.
Troy and Jackson with HookedUp Sporting provided a bucket list adventure. Within an hour had a blue marlin on the hook and the fun began. They were knowledgeable, engaging, and extremely helpful as we worked the marlin in after two hours and 50 minutes. Ten foot, ten inches, and 527 pounds.ย Highly recommend this charter service.
Congratulations!!! Glad you guys got such a great experience on your charter.ย Definitely a fish of a life time!!
Best fishing tip ever. After an hour of reeling in a monster fish the reel broke. And Troy (deckhand) hand hauled it in for the last 20 feet after an exhausting fight. Getting the fish in the boat was an even bigger challenge and we were all triumphant when we hauled it over the deck. Captain Zack did a great job getting my son the fish of a lifetime on his 14th birthday. Epic!
Great captain and mate, thoroughly went over what to expect in terms of what fish and how the entire fishing process works. Ended up trolling for about two hours before landing a 100lb blue marlin. Experience of a lifetime and remember itโs called fishing not catching, you wonโt get a fish everytime you go out so keep that in mind
