We saved up money for a long time to be able to go on this fishing excursion…we had the whole family on board and our 17 year old son was the most excited out of all of us to be going!  In the end of the trip he never did end up catching even a tiny fish!  He was super devastated!  If you don’t mind just trolling around the entire six hours then this is a great trip for you!  The captain and his deck hand were very friendly and I believe they tried to get us to catch fish, but in the end it was a total flop of a trip!

He explained and trained my son how to reel and pull in the fish. He was friendly.

We left out at sunrise with Captain Jim and Jimmy! From the moment we started they were so informative of all the tackle and how to use it and great for getting us ready for our first off shore trip.

Truly can’t say enough about either of them or the experience and the work they put in to get us the fish.  Can’t get guarantee fish caught and we weren’t lucky on Marlin but landed several Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna. After we got them in we were so wore out we were ready to come in. I have a whole new respect for those guys and what it takes to haul in a 60# tuna on light tackle gear. Insane to say the least but an experience I’ll treasure for years to come. We landed one 40+# Mahi which was real nice. And we enjoyed our Farm to Table experience Hawaiian style this afternoon.

If you want to get an amazing experience with an upstanding top notch crew then these are your boys!! Years of experience and knowledge of the sea.

Mahalo!!

If you want a genuine charter that has a captain and crew who are passionate about fishing then James and Jimmy are the guys to use.

Travelling in from Australia to experience the game fishing Kona has to offer I always have an expectation that there is always a chance you may not land a fish hence why it is called a “fishing” charter. But James the Captain had plans to head out wide and fish some grounds that certainly paid off.

To break it down 10hrs is the trip and 9 of those hours we had lines in the water making sure we had the best opportunities. Jimmy the first mate just did not stop and his experience really showed from rigging to hauling in the fish and most importantly the safety aspect.

Running the first troll at the grounds it was not long till we hit some great fish, from there it was non stop right up until we got to just outside the harbor when our lure was getting hit by a marlin.

This charter really made a highlight for my trip in Kona so if you want a great time and you are a “serious” angler this is the crew that will give it their all.

Will be doing another charter with James in the future. Highly reccommend and you will not be dissappointed.

Cheers for a great day out James and Jimmy!

My wife and I booked a 1/2 day fishing trip with Go Get ‘Em and Captain Jim. It was a fantastic day fishing. We have fished all over the world and I can say without hesitation Captain Jim and Jimmy were some of the most professional and hardworking crew we have ever encountered. We successful in hooking into Ono, Mahi Mahi, small Yellow Fin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, and a Striped Marlin. We would not have had the amazing experiences we did without the extra effort and hard work Captain Jim and Jimmy put in. Our day was action packed and very successful. I strongly recommend booking them for a fishing charter.
