Big storm starting Saturday

Feb 6, 2026 Haleiwa

There's a big storm coming in starting Saturday until at least midweek. Keep this in mind

Aku stay biting

Jan 26, 2026 Haleiwa

Well it's officially aku or as they're known in the mainland as skipjack tuna. These are big numbers fish that fight hard and guarantees make memories.

Feast or famine

Jan 23, 2026 Haleiwa

Winter allows all kinds of opportunities. Conditions are usually nice and when fish are active you can have a trip of a lifetime. But the reality of winter is the famine side. Fish move a lot this time of year and there's no guarantees just because I caught a fish in one spot yesterday that they'll be there again the next. But you can't catch fish from the couch

Winter time conditions

Jan 6, 2026 Haleiwa

Winter is the time of the year where anything can happen. In Hawaii, conditions change by the day and sometimes by the hour. It's a time of feast and famine when one day we fill the box and the next not a fishing site. There is also a time where we have some of the most beautiful conditions one day and the next day. The waves are 40 ft and the wind is blowing just as strong. If you do book this time of year, just be prepared to be moved around if conditions become unfavorable. We do our best every true to get you on the fish but safety is also key

Mahis

Dec 6, 2025 Haleiwa

Had a bunch of mahi's coming close today. Makes for a good half day.

The fish are biting and conditions look

Nov 23, 2025 Haleiwa

For the next couple weeks, conditions look amazing with calm winds and nice seas. I'm typically slower this time of year so there's plenty of openings. So book a trip today before I got there and catch fish by myself.

My son and I had a great day of fishing with Captain Matt! Captain was professional and very patient teaching us about deep sea fishing. Took home some Mahi Mahi for dinner. Great day!

7 Hour Three Quarter Day 6:00 AM

Only trolling with artificial liurers. Needed to have other bait available such as frozen or live. No luck in trolling for 7 hours. Needed to stop and drop for locating the fish and needed to provide a chummy line to bring fish up. No place to sit other than on a cooler with poor positioning to reel in fish. Saying “they are not biting today” with no other alternatives or presentations in which turned into expense boat ride.

Well dude you are from ks and have 0 experience fishing here on the north shore of Oahu. So I’m sorry the fish did not bite but it has been slow here for the month of June but next month will be completely different. Fish are pelagic here and move constantly. If you think you can do it better than maybe you should open a business here. After deep consideration of what our trip in tailed we did have 3 distinct bite’s. The first of which was a smaller mahi mahi that we brought close to the boat, that you lost do to your inability to properly fight fish. In your message requesting the fishing trip you had requested to catch blue Marlin. After watching you fight this smaller fish I realized your ability and we were in no position to seek after your sought after fish. Continuing the trip we had 2 other knockdowns that unfortunately did not stick. But that is fishing you land some on the boat and sometimes some get away. However we did our best with our limited resources. We do not have access to buying live bait and frozen bait is extremely expensive which we try not to use unless we know fish are in the present area. If you wanted a fighting chair there are plenty of boats who charge a lot more per trip who have this available. Next time do your own research before chartering a smaller boat with limited amenities. Please when leaving a review take into consideration we are a small family run business trying to give everyone a positive fishing experience.
