Rainbow Runner and a Giant Goat!
Some great conditions allow us to hit all the currents Top and Bottom. Closeups of these fish remind us of the beauty below. The Rainbow Runner was caught on a plastic soft bait. The Weke took a new rig at the bottom of a deep 30 fathom drop.

Double Double! Skip Jack, Bottom, Swim!
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…
