Great day! Captain Momi and her crew (Jimmy & Madison) were wonderful hosts. While waiting for our bite (caught a blue marlin about 2 hours into our trip) we learned SO much about the local marine life, safe fishing practices and concerns local fishers and boaters have. We appreciated the hands on experience and how welcome the crew made us feel. Will recommend to anyone I know going to Kona!

The boat met us on the dock on time for our 10:30 trip. The earlier group had no bites, so our 5 guests didn’t expect any strikes. Our captain was in communication with other boats & read the signs of a fish grouping, so we caught 2 skipjack tuna. Our deckhand was efficient & excellent, fine experience for a relatively bare bones trip (we bought our own drinks & snacks)

My husbandand I had a great time with the bite me crew. We did get moved to Bite Me 4 but the chage was well in advance and we informed promptly. I would bring some Dramamine if you aren’t in the ocean a lot! The crew worked quickly and tried multiple spots so that we would have our best chance of catching something. The filets were clean too!

The captain and crew were very nice and informative. They got the gear in the water right when we got out of the marina. The conditions were good but you just have to be at the right place at the right time. Another guest was able to reel in a yellow fin tuna and another bite got off. Luckily they split the fish between all the guests. Made some Tuna tacos when I got home and my wife said it was the best meal of our entire vacation.

Our Captain and Mate really know their stuff! I was one of five guys on our four hour charter fishing trip. I got to watch one lucky guy catch and release a 450 pound Marlin. That was an exciting experience! Make sure before you book your trip, do you want to troll for a chance at a monster size fish, or go fishing for smaller fish to keep for eating? And then get confirmation that your Captain understands the fishing trip you are expecting.
