big island fishing

Fisherman visiting Hawaii are usually in search of one thing, and one thing only: fishing the waters off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands. And rightfully so. The waters surrounding the islands are among the most sought after waters in the world, teeming with big game fish that becomes the catch of a lifetime, and that are used to supply the islands with a sustainable source of protein.

Visitors quickly find out that out fishing adventures in Hawaii are not only for experienced fisherman, and any experience level and age can take part in a fun day out at sea.

Fishing adventures in Hawaii depart in the early morning hours, heading out for the open ocean before the sun rises over the horizon. The warm tropical waters of the Pacific are the perfect place for large fish to thrive, with plenty of food and room to grow. In fact, some of the biggest fish on record have been caught near Hawaii, with the Big Island and Oahu claiming many records.

It’s not surprising that fishing in Hawaii is so vital, as the islands are the most isolated in the world and, from the days of the earliest arrivals to the islands, fishing has provided a much needed food source for residents of Hawaii. And today, that is certainly still the case, though the methods of fishing have changed quite drastically. Fishing boats provide local markets with a variety of different fish, which are then used at local restaurants or in home kitchens in some of the best dishes you will ever taste.

A fishing adventure in Hawaii is a great choice for a fun adventure, and the perfect way to have an authentic experience during a visit to the islands. You’ll head out with a local captain and crew in search of the day’s catch, to known gathering spots for Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and even Swordfish. Should you be fortunate enough to hook one of these prizes, get ready for the fight of your life. But fear not, the crew will help you every step of the way, and make sure you bring the catch on board.

Fishing adventures in Hawaii are available as Private or Semi-Private Charters, in Full-Day or Half-Day trips. The captain and crews are local experts, and will make sure your fishing adventure is everything you hope for.
