Fishing

Fun hookup and fight for this morning’s keiki! Perfect size for Mahi sandwiches.

Epic double fish and snorkel charter with a great family. Spent an awesome five hours snorkeling two spots up the West Oahu coastline, while we stopped and fished at a few reefs, a wreck, and through some bird piles. We caught a multitude of bottom fish, some of which we kept in the baitwell, and…

About 2 mile’s off-shore Honolulu Harbor, aboard the HILINA’I, Captain Bruski and a lucky guest made a spectacular catch—2 vibrant Mahi Mahi! This exciting event underscores the expertise of our crew across all 3 of our MANA Cruises vessels, and not only the VENTURE Boat. Our seasoned captains and crew members, renowned for their skilled…

Epic morning with Jameson and siblings! The bite was slow on trolling so we broke down and started a nice bottom drift over some rubble in the 120 ft range. We ended up catching Trigger after Trigger with the biggest being almost five pounds! Great fun and great first fishing adventure for these kids!

What a fun afternoon session! Last trip of the day produced some fun hookups and eats. The tide was rising late and the current seemed to have turned on during our last charter of the day. After snorkeling and waiting for some passing showers (with rainbows) we decided to hit up the upwelling a few…

Fun morning charter from Ko Olina. We were a bit bummed after taking a solid bite and having the hook pull. That first bite went for a steady spool run of 15 seconds! SO much fun. Luckily, while setting the trolling lines back up, we got hit and landed this perfect sized Mahi. After some…

Fun morning of bottom fishing and snorkeling resulted with a massive cornet fish catch! The prior state record was 7.8 lbs and 4 ft 11in caught on Hawaii Island. I think we have it beat with a length of roughly 5 ft 6 in. No weight was recorded and the massive cornet fish was released…

It was a calm morning perfect for light tackle trolling. We got lucky to have a few tug the line not far from our starting point. Great action to include some bottom fishing. A great start to the morning and epic fun for the keiki to hook, reel, catch and release these beautiful fish! 

Patience was the name of the first hour before snorkeling! We were holding out to troll pass the final drop at the point and bang – luck was on our side. Epic mahi, great family and awesome snorkeling! Fun fun charter!

The bite was a bit slow trolling 40 fathoms on the dropping tide. Broke down and started bottom fishjng. Caught some triggers and weke then hooked in to a fun sized Omilu!
