Wahoo, Gray Snapper and Mahi Mahi!

One of the fastest fish in the ocean, these Wahoo (or "Ono" in Hawaiian) can hit a lure at 15 mph or more! More common in the summer months are the smaller 15 to 30 lb. models. In the winter we get the big one's over 60 pounds but they are harder to find.



A very fat Gray Snapper caught on a live "Opelu" on the downrigger.


A 40 lb. "Bull" Mahi Mahi caught on a live "Opelu" can give you a great battle on light tackle!

Hawaiian Game Fish All Year Round!

You don't have to be an experienced fisherman to have some fun! Little Kattie hooked up and handled the equipment like a pro. Even taking some time out for a photo opp.

Kattie and Austin with a good looking, hard fighting Gray Snapper. These fish are caught with live or rigged bait. Drifting or using a downrigger gets the bait right off the bottom where they prowl the legdges and drop offs.

A great morning of fishing topped off with Austin's 30lb. Amberjack that we tagged and released to fight another day.
