We did it! It is always amazing to see how much a relatively small fish can be so rewarding to catch. Most days they are caught by accident and not appreciated like they are when we are chasing them for a slam or a record. At 9:00 we got a double outside of where we …
Earl and Pam Warren came to Kona in search of the spearfish that are common to Kona this time of year. Going into the week we were optimistic due to the numbers that were here at the end of January. True to form the spears disappeared right before we started. I kept in touch with …
Here is a shot of the new addition to the family. We cam home from fishing and found that our ewe had baby’s two little rams we named Double and Trouble. The father is a nice looking ram. He looks like he is going to be a good one someday.

Today Geza and Paul and I took out our friend Daryl Fujimoto out fishing and did well on the ahi. We found one pod of dolphins that we got a double in and caught 91 pounder.Unfortunately we missed the second one of the double.Late in the afternoon got into another pod friend called us to. …
Today my family and I took the 40 out fishing to fish for the good run on spears that Kona has been seeing. The boats that have been going out have done very well catching something each day. We gave a half day and had 2 bites on stripeys and taught this nice mahi.

We finished a 2 week dry dock today. We pulled the boat to clear coat the toe rail and the varnished areas downstairs. Lots of parts and lots of sanding. We have been clear coating the varnished areas so we can get more coats on with less sanding. it is still a ton of sanding …
Today we had a great trip with the Staples. They came from Destin Florida to visit the Big Island and fish with us on the Northern Lights. They operate a charter business in Destin so they were no strangers to catching fish. They brought their luck and skill to us here in Kona filling up …
Had a great start to the day by catching this marlin right out of the gate. It ate the Polu Kai Tube on the short rigger and we caught him quickly. We headed south to the dolphins where we worked them all day. There were a few fish in them but they wouldn’t bite. Right …
The current was good today pushing into a good spot that I like to fish. There were tons of birds and bait all over a spot that usually the fishing is good but there is not always the sign on the surface. I trolled all morning through the bait and birds with no luck. I …
The night bite was on this week so the dolphins were pressure free. The tuna came to the dolphins and the pressure that usually brings from the boats trying to catch them were night fishing so we had a school to ourselves. I was able to make good passes on the fish. They finally bit. …
