Today was the start of the 20th annual Tag and Release Tournament. Today the host of the tournament started with us. We headed north up to the grounds where the bait and birds started to build due to the good north current we have now. The trades are up and the swells were big. We …
Today Gabby tried for her first Marlin again. With the fish here I hoped she would get her first one. We trolled all day with no bites. Again we had current trouble and had to look for current for the TART Tournament this coming week. The current was good to the north so I worked …
Today we took friends of Geza and Paul and trolled south looking to repeat yesterday’s fishing. I trolled down to Hookena and saw that the current was dead as we went south so I stayed up by Red Hill and Keauhou. No bites by lunch so I headed back south to Hookena. We were trolling …
I had heard the marlin were here and I guess they are. Arnesto Koo of Panama came over from Maui and stayed at our vacation rental for the night before his trip so we could get a early start. Oskie Rice came in to filling for Mat while he is gone. He and I have …

Today Mat had Hal Westbrook out with his daughter Teal and friends and saw a National Geographic moment. They saw a spearfish coming for the stinger. It loped along behind the lure as they often do. They saw the spearfish and were waiting for the spear to grab the stinger and it disappeared into a …
Mat and Geza took the 37 today and caught a 250 blue right away on the short rigger. Once released they worked the area and caught a nice fish. It was a challenge with just the 2 of them on the boat but everything went well and a 700 plus blue was released in good …
Today we took out the 37 and ran a bit to get to a bite down south. The bite was a Milolii and we want to get fishing time there. An old friend Jeff Hara and his friends came out with us. We had our first bite at the TT buoy that bit the long …
Mat had another great day today. They caught a nice spearfish and released it and caught a blue Marlin in the dolphins. The tuna were in the dolphins but the small pod was too crowed to fish so they kept trolling. Nice to have both boats out.
