Kona Hawaii Fishing
with
Capt. Jeff Rogers


Kona has the best fishing of all the islands and 2/3 of Hawaii's charter fishing fleet

Deep sea CATCHING charters on the "Big Island" of Hawaii


Sadly, Captain Jeff has passed away unexpectedly.
For charter inquiries, please call Captain Dale of the Sea Strike at 808-895-1972.



Don't just go for a boat ride.

I use several different fishing techniques and target
a wider variety of fish than any other charter in Kona.
As a result,
I've maintained the highest catch rate in Kona every year since 1997!    
Slideshow image  Hawaii is one of the worlds top deep sea fishing destinations and it's the geography of the Big island that makes Kona Hawaii the sportfishing capital of the Pacific. Five huge mountain masses protect the Kona coast from the winds resulting in sea conditions that are usually as calm as a lake. The steep slope of the ocean bottom puts the deep sea sportfishing within a short distance from the shoreline. Just three miles straight out of the harbor, it's over 6000' deep! Six species of billfish roam the Kona coast along with six species of tuna, mahi mahi (dorado), ono (wahoo), several species of shark and a wide variety of big-game bottom fish. With so many kinds of fish and fishing styles available, there's little excuse for not catching fish.

5 striped marlin and a spearfish

6 billfish in one day! (Few Hawaii captains have done this many in one day)

1056 lb. blue marlin even with much of it missing due to sharks attacking it

We caught a "Grander"!
Even with some missing,
it weighed 1056 lbs.

    

843 lb. Black marlin and the biggest black so far this century

It took 17 years for a bigger
black marlin to be caught.
843 lbs.

    

186 lb. striped marlin stood as the biggest striped marlin caught for over a decade

We caught the biggest Striped
marlin of the Decade!
186 lbs.



Capt. Jeff Rogers with a 75 lb. Giant Trevally caught on a jig.....This is one of the hardest fighting fish you can catch!  

  "Whether you're looking for that big trophy catch of a lifetime, some delicious fish to take home or just wanting to catch fish after fish after fish until your arms are too weak to haul in another, I'll do my best to give you the best Hawaii fishing trip you've ever had!"

 I offer a unique "hands-on" sportfishing experience. People who have some fishing experience will appreciate the fact that they get to be involved in the sport fishing process.


  Another thing that sets me apart from the rest of the Kona fishing fleet is the fact that I find "fishing" to be boring. Let's go catching!
"I consistently catch more fish, more often than any other charter in Kona because I use a wider variety of techniques and target a wider variety of fish so it's usually not an issue of "if" we will catch anything but how many and how big. The typical Hawaii fishing charter will wander around the ocean all day trolling lures and hope for the best. The trolling bite is always in a state of flux so if the trolling bite is good and there's enough action to keep things moving, then that's what we can do. If not, the bottom bite is almost always a guarantee of catching big fish. Using this combination of fishing techniques usually produces several fish and breaks up the monotony of just trolling all day.

Stand-up fight! This fight lasted 4 1/2 hours and then the hook pulled out.

Always friendly and courteous service!
Capt. Jeff is a sportfishing guide that loves to fish!

Kona Weather Alert!
Misleading weather reports and forecasts about the rainfall in Kona abound on the Internet and as a result, many people cancel their Kona vacation plans. Here's the real story on Kona's rainfall. It rains almost every day on top of the mountain above Kona town and that mountain (Hualalai) is technically part of Kona so some reports and forecasts say that it is raining or going to rain in Kona every day. The higher up the steep mountain you get, the wetter it gets. Near the shoreline and on the ocean, on the Kona side of the island anyway, it's fairly rare to get rained on. Kona's airport sits right near the ocean and only gets about 6 inches of rain annually. That makes it one of the driest places in the U.S. On the ocean, getting rained on is a very rare occurrence.
