2 hour trip is reasonable price to get out on water and catch reef fish.... big stuff you wanna go half day at least.

Go with the attitude of fishing, instead of catching. If you catch something that is a plus.

Experience is awesome just make sure what time of year you go and remember that it’s called fishing not catching.

Make sure you use Oahu pelagic sport fishing and no one else top notch

Don’t expect to catch anything so if you do it’ll be a great bonus. Fish don’t always cooperate with anglers so go with the flow and enjoy your time out on the ocean.

keep your fishing expectations to a minimum. The boat experience was good however.

Call Captain Shawn on the Kona Cowboy to book your charter. I have never met a more enthusiastic captain that showed how much he loves to fish.

Be certain to ask as many questions of the Captain prior to your departure regarding the number and ages of any children that you may consider taking on your charter and the amount & type of provisions/snacks that will be provided depending on the length of your trip. People that may be sensitive to motion sickness should certainly bring medication because the first mile or so out of the harbor we experienced some ruff water but eventually smoothed out once we were further out to sea.
