Today ewas a perfect example of the early bird gets the worm. We ran out at 6:00 and tried to set the pattern out. The 3rd line hit the water and we were hooked up on the first line that went out. After a 10 minute tough fight Rowland caught a 203 pound ahi. We …
All Bruce and Dana needed to round out their trip to catch all the common game fish we have was to catch a tuna. She did just that whipping the tuna in 5 minutes with great technique. We left at 10:00 to do a 3/4 day and it paid off. The fishing has been good …
Our Black Polu Kai Tubulation Is hot right now. Here he is after a good ride.
Bruce came out today for more acceptable water and conditions. It was a true Kona day today. We started out with a bang hooking our first bite. We hooked the fish and it jumped and jumped through the pattern then jumped up the side a bunch of times. I got him in the lens but …
Today the rain came. We met Bruce in the morning and it was starting to come down pretty good. We weren’t sure how much rain we were going to get a but in Kona it is rare to rain all day on the ocean. The weather reports were calling for nice weather so we were …
Kellie Gunberling and family came out with us a day early due to the Fireman’s tournament being canceled today due to the threat of a hurricane. The idea is for our fire deptment to rescue people not be rescued so the tournament was postponed to another date. Our team for the tournament won the event …
Bill Wolf and sons met us early and we high speed trolled to the Otec buoy and put baits out. I was sad to see that the current was dead. The birds and bait were there and it was hard to tell where to look for the big fish so we put baits out and …
Vince and Patti Carr long time Northern Lights anglers bought the Northern Lights trip in the IGFA Auction held during the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. I was glad they called to take me up on the trip while the fish are here. We started out the day at the grounds where other boats were having …
Gary and Patrick Furness came for an overnight trip. Our plan was to troll all day and set up for the night where the night action is and chum for albacore and ahi. We trolled to Milolii in beautiful calm weather. The trolling was beautiful down at the old lava flow area and the village. …
John Booth and his boys had a great day with us and actually really helped our hook up ratio. We have struggled with out hook up rate all season due to the way the fish are eating the lures. The 2 fish we caught ate small jets that really should catch more for us than …
A RARE CLEAR DAY
Will James good friend and our Keanon sunglasses rep caught this marlin on his jet ski trolling off of Red Hill the other day. Unreal! Must be good on fuel to troll all day. Nice catch Will!
Bill Russ and his family had a good half day trip today. We had an unusual double mahi mahi trolling up north. We baited a third that followed the 2 mahis in. i wish we had more time to give it but it all worked out for action but no blues today.
Took the girls out for a quick trip to catch small fish and get out on the ocean.
