As the saying goes, 10% of fishermen catch 90% of the fish & Capt. Jeff has been Kona's #1 sportfish catching captain every year since 1997 ! |

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. |

"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!" |
involved in the sport fishing process. On charter boats that use a deckhand, it's the deckhand's job to do everything on the deck. You'll never get to touch the tackle except to reel in a fish. Some people enjoy their fishing experience a lot more while learning the ropes and getting involved, turning Hawaii fishing into more of a contact sport and less of a spectator sport. Big game fishing experience is not necessary! I've been running single handed charters for over 10 years now without a single problem! If you have a few medium size fish under your belt, your fishing experience will go a long way and you'll really appreciate this hands on type of fishing charter. If you don't feel comfortable handling the rods, reels, lures, etc., then the typical type of Kona Hawaii fishing charter might be more your style and the "Intrepid" is a great boat to do that. On the Intrepid the deckhand and I will handle all the tackle except for reeling in your fish. |
Another thing that sets captain Jeff apart from the rest of the Kona fishing fleet is the fact that he finds "fishing" to be boring. Let's go catching! The typical Hawaii fishing charter will wander around the ocean all day, trolling lures and hoping for the best. The trolling bite is always in a state of flux. If the trolling bite is good and there's enough action to keep things moving, then that's what we do. If not, the Kona bottom bite is almost always a guarantee of catching large fish. A combination of both usually produces fish and breaks up the monotony of just trolling all day. You can always check out the fish photos page to see Capt. Jeff's' recent catches. |  |
Always friendly and courteous
service!
