Captain's Log

What better way to finish a snorkel trip than with a Tuna on the deck! Beautiful and perfect sized yellowfin tuna hit a new NOMAD lure!

Great fighting Skip Jack tuna took off on one of our 4 inch skirts. Gave this guy a run and fight of a lifetime! So stoked!

Congrats to this crew of gents for landing this beautiful blue marlin on an extended morning fish. We’re so stoked for you guys and glad to have split up all the fillet! There’s been a ton of marlin around this season and we’re so stoked that you got yours. I know the live baiting was…

This little scrappy Blue Marlin fought hard all the way. For Christmas, he was released after some much needed rest. Congrats to the Kon Family and great job Venture Crew!

One of the best things about bottom-fishing is your inability to know what’s going on in the depths below. In this instance we were working a pile of Yellow Snapper and small goat fish. Based on the final picture, we know that we got really lucky. We believe we hooked a small goat fish on…

It was a fun week of fishing. This picture hits perfectly to the many aku that we’ve been boarding. It was a beautiful morning and we ended up just a bit further offshore than usual and were stoked to pickup a couple nice aku all before 9a. Cheeehu!

Beautiful morning to be on the water. Took a couple weak knock downs and finally stuck this nice Kawakawa! We headed in for some bottom fishing and took immediate hits with the two, perfect sized table setters for the end of a fun morning!

A handful of bites trolling on our afternoon snorkel charter! After a few lost “screamers” we were able to haul in this guy that stuck to the hook. A nice looking Hawaiian Barracuda (Kaku)! It was a fun fight and epic afternoon of snorkeling and water time.

Epic morning for everything under the sun. Caught a nice Aku Tuna on light tackle, handled a beautiful set of triggers including this Red Tail and enjoyed calm clear waters snorkeling. Fantastic morning with a fantastic ‘ohana.

A little drizzly morning produced some fun fishing for the keiki! Started off with a small tuna followed by a nice fighting Rainbow Runner also known as a Kamanu! Coincidentally the rain produced some epic rainbows above us as well. Fun morning for all!

Another epic morning in Ko Olina 🙂 Very rarely can we come-thru on the exact species request in just a couple of hours but Cpt Garrett put this guest on their Bucket List Mahi Mahi fight within the first hour! Perfect sized for mahi sandwiches and panko sticks! Congrats gents!

Less than a minute with lures in the water we took a beautiful 15# cow Mahi. Great fight with a bunch of jumping. Great job Greg for keeping the line tight all the way to gaff. Glad you had a stoked time with Captain Jesse!
