Fishing
Fishing is Hawaii’s
favorite pastime. Here in Hawaii we have some of
the best fishing in the world. At Kauai
Fun Tours we offer our
customers all types of island fishing depending
on the time of year.
Light
tackle fishing: Equipment
in the 5 – 15 lb. class
Light tackle fishing is the
best type of all round fishing for the first
timer or the seasoned angler. Using lighter
fishing gear allows for higher hook-up ratios as
the smaller hook and baits attract a wider range
of fish. During the winter months we normally
bottom fish the ledges for Blue Line Snapper,
Goat fish, Gray Snapper, Rainbow Runners, &
Amber-jacks. During the spring and summer months
we normally troll the 40 fathom shelf for
Mahi-mahi, Skip-jack and Yellow-fin Tuna, Wahoo,
Mackerel and Sailfish.
During the summer months
it’s normal to find large schools of
skip-jack tuna along the shoreline feeding. Just
remember "The lighter the tackle the fairer
the fight". Going light tackle fishing is a
great way to spend a day with your family and
friends.
Medium
to Heavy Tackle Fishing: Equipment
in the 30-150 lb. class
For the angler seeking the
"BIG ONE". Kauai Fun Tours offers
vessels outfitted with state of the art deep sea
fishing equipment needed for the deep blue
offshore waters surrounding Kaua’i.
It’s in these deeper offshore waters that
the larger predators of the sea such as our
Pacific Blue and Black Marlins live. Our deep sea
vessels are crewed with local captains that have
accumulated years of experience fishing here on
Kaua’i.

Planning
a Fishing Charter:
When planning a fishing
charter of any kind on your vacation, please
follow these tips:
1) Always call as soon as you
arrive on the island and ask how the fishing has
been and what the weather is expected to be doing
during your stay.
2) Tell them how long
you’ll be on the island and ask what days
are looking good for the type of fishing your
interested in.
3) Ask if you will be allowed
to keep some of the catch for personal
consumption if desired.
4) Inquire as to the rates
for a share boat versus a private charter. If you
have four to six friends in your party, it may be
to your advantage to take a private charter.
5) Ask if snacks and
beverages are provided.
6) Always plan to make a trip
down to the harbor a day or two before just to
confirm the locations for check-in and parking.
If possible, it’s always a good idea to know
where the vessel is moored in some of the larger
marinas.
7) Remember that fishing
takes both skill and a little luck.
