Bottom Fishing in Hawaii
In the heart of the Pacific, you may think that big game fishing reigns supreme, but bottom fishing in Hawaii is also a great way to explore these rich waters. The 50th state offers reef fishing like nowhere else, with crystal clear waters that are home to exotic fish. Test your skills and strength and see another side to these tropical islands.
What fish can I catch?
Expect some colorful, dazzling, and delicious species when you come bottom fishing in Hawaii. The productive reefs attract a range of beautiful creatures looking to feast on some smaller life forms. Monsters like Barracuda, Trevallies, Jobfish, and Snappers are the main attractions, with Jacks, Bonefish, and many more providing a star-studded supporting cast.
What to Expect
There’s something for everyone when fishing the reefs in Hawaii, with bottom fishing giving even first-timers the chance to land a beauty. Trips last from a couple of hours to a full day on the water, allowing avid anglers the chance to put their skills to the test, too.
As most captains also offer offshore fishing excursions, you’ll most likely be fishing from an offshore sportfishing boat. These professional outfits feature everything you need for a productive day, so sit back and enjoy the ride on a cheaper alternative to big game trips.
If you’re looking for something a bit different, exploring the reefs by kayak is also an option. Test your balance and strength as you try to reel one in while sitting just on the water!
Where and When to Go
Two of the beauties of bottom fishing in Hawaii are that there’s never a bad time nor a bad place to go. Each of the islands are home to year-round populations of incredible bottom-dwelling fish. Just keep an eye on the strict fishing seasons for some creatures.
On the “big” island of Hawaii itself, Kailua-Kona offers the best chance of a bottom fishing charter. In fact, this spot is renowned as one of the world’s best sportfishing spots, so come and see what all the fuss is about.
If you’re staying in the capital, Honolulu, then a trip to sea is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle and discover the real Hawaii, while Haleiwa is also a hub on the north of Oahu island.
Finally, the northernmost island, Kaua, also offers plenty in the way of fishing. Hop aboard a charter in Eleele in the south or Princeville in the north and away you go!
How to Prepare
Your fishing license will be covered aboard any professional saltwater fishing charter in Hawaii, so that’s one less thing to worry about. Under the guidance of an experienced captain, you’ll have all the gear and support you need for a productive day out. All you need to do is grab some drinks and snacks and come aboard.
If you’re looking for an incredible trip in some of the world’s most pristine waters, Hawaii bottom fishing is for you. Come aboard and make some lifelong memories!

Yes, some of our shipmates had little experience with big water fishing. They made sure to coach them as they got the fish in

If you have anyone within your party who may get seasick, be sure to take some sort of dramamine the evening before.
Do not wait until you get on the boat.
The crew was extremely understanding.

You are booking a fish trip for a trophy fish; not everytime are you going to hook up. I personally have gone on 3 charter trips and this is the only one that ended in success. Its a great way to see the island and hear stories as well.

Find the crew at Fire Hatt. They are super professional and friendly. We brought our four- and six-year-olds. They might have been a bit too young. I think it might be better for, maybe, an 8-year-old or 10-year-old. Sean and Jason were great with our little kids, but the boys struggled a bit with four hours on the boat. But, all in all, it was a great experience for the adults.

Make sure to bring a hat and sunscreen. Pack a small cooler of your favorite drinks and some snacks for the trip. Not every time you will catch something but thatโs why they call it fishing not catching.

Book with Kona Dice, great knowledge and they will put you on a fish. The captain and first mate work their tails off and make this the best possible decision.

Bring sunblock! We did not and we definitely felt it the next day. Take pictures! Itโs an experience youโll want to look back on. And be patient! Itโs still fishing. You never know when the big one is going to hit.
