Our Light Tackle Bottom Fishing At a Glance
Kona has the calmest waters in the state of Hawaii.
We offer family-friendly light tackle bottom fishing (50-200 ft), which is fun because many of the fish are between 2-30 lbs, meaning your entire family can enjoy catching fish! This form of fishing is very interactive, entailing dropping weights to the bottom of the ocean, feeling for nibbles, baiting the hook, and fighting fish.
Fishing is conducted using top-of-the-line Penn Battle 3 spin jig rod and reel combos, with 50 lb braided spectra line and 30 lb fluorocarbon leaders, each fitted with two size 14 BKN hooks and an 8 oz weight.
No local fishing licenses are required in Hawaii currently. All catchable and edible fish can be kept; we will scale, gut, or fillet your fish to ensure they’re ready to cook.
While listening to music and relaxing, we drift over seamounts, ledges, and sand patches searching for different species to reel in.

Catch-and-Cook Special
We are proud to have a relationship with the restaurant Holualoa Garden and Kitchen, to give our guests a unique “catch and cook” fishing experience. Chefs prepare your freshly caught Hawaiian fish in the favorite local preparation for you to enjoy. The restaurant is located in the quaint town of Holualoa, only 15 minutes from the harbor.
Giving the restaurant a heads up about your fresh fish is greatly appreciated so they may prepare the best presentation for your meal.
