Kona Fishing Update

Happy New Year from Kona-Jan. 1, 2009 UPDATE!

It was a VERY Happy New Year for Jill Eigert from Tampa Florida. Jill had chartered HighNoon for a New Years day fishing charter to take her 80 year old Mom (Bertha Finch) out on the water off Kona and maybe catch a smaller fish or two. I decided to work an area where some 30- 40 lb Spearfish had been biting the last few days. About 8 am, my long rigger went off. Thinking it was another Spearfish, I got Jill in the fighting chair and then tightened the drag a bit. The line began screaming off of reel...and this 500 lb Blue came rocketing out of the water. It even charged the boat and gave Jill and her Mom VERY close up view as this 500 lb went greyhounding right by the boat. Jill did an absolutely great job fighting this fish and in about an hour we got the fish to the back of the boat. Unfortunately, the last few minutes, the fish sounded and then died, so we were unable to release this fish. It weighed in at 514 lbs....and is now on the board as the largest Blue Marlin so far in 2009. What a New Years memory for Jill and her mom Bertha. Photo Below:

The Kona deep sea fishing continues to be excellent this winter for Blue Marlin, striped Marlin, Spearfish and Mahi Mahi. Yesterday, December 31, we tagged and released a nice Spearfish and missed two more. As for the fishing conditions, the Kona fishing conditions have been great with warm, clear and calm water conditions. Our air temps are at 83 and the water temps are 78 degrees making this a great time for Blue Marlin and other big game fishing off Kona, Hawaii. Ask about our combination big game fishing along with some incredible snorkeling. Also, the humpback whales have now arrived in good numbers.

Best rates in Kona for a quality boat! Our flybridge is shaded, cool and comfortable - a great place to relax and wait for that next strike.

HighNoon is a beautiful Blackfin Sportfisher, one of the world's finest sport fishing boats and perfect for fishing Kona Hawaii. There are many excellent Kona sport fishing charter boats and Hawaii fishing guides. Why choose HighNoon as your Kona charter boat? First, I am one of the few owner/operators in the Kona sportfishing charter fleet. Since I own my own boat, I am able to tailor each fishing trip for each angler. I also enjoy talking with each angler and then customizing a fishing trip just for them. While many of my clients want to fish for Blue Marlin, others enjoy light tackle fishing for Wahoo and Mahi Mahi. Many clients are valued repeat customers.

I also do things a bit differently than most Kona deep sea fishing charters. Most Kona fishing charters book either through charter fishing boat services or hotel activity desks. These vacation services take a large commission for their services. I only book direct with the customer either through personal references or through the Internet. This allows me to keep my rates low to you since I do not pay for referral commissions.

HighNoon is one of the finest Kona sportfishing boats. It is a 32 foot Blackfin with air conditioned cabin, twin turbo diesels, a large comfortable and shaded flybridge and a spacious fighting deck. And yet a full day exclusive Kona Sport fishing charter on HighNoon is only $695. I also have a great 3/4 day charter rate of $525. And the half day rate is $385 which is a very viable option since there is no run to the fishing grounds in Kona. From the time we leave the harbor, we are big game fishing in about 5 minutes. Kona Hawaii is one of the few places in the world that a half day charter gives you a real shot at a giant Blue Marlin or Ahi.

Kona Marlin fishing is not just for the experienced angler. Many of my clients have never been big game fishing before and have caught Marlin, tuna and other big game fish. I enjoy showing first time anglers how to catch giant Marlin and other Billfish. Plus, because of the calm waters and magnificent scenery including the dolphins and whales, the Kona marlin fishing experience can be enjoyed by everyone.

Kona deep sea fishing is spectacular. The ultimate big game fish, the Pacific Blue Marlin are found in the waters off Kona all year around. Also, striped Marlin, Black Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo and Spearfish are also here much of the year. Mahi Mahi and the smaller tuna are among the other big game fish found in the waters off Kona. A Kona fishing charter offers a wide variety of fishing choices for both the experienced as well as the novice angler.

Kona Fishing Charters have something to offer anglers all year around. Kona Marlin fishing is world famous and most of the world record Blue Marlin have been caught off the Kona Coast of Hawaii. Kona deep sea fishing is a it's peak during the spring and summer. Kona fishing charters also have giant yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) and striped Marlin most of the year. For the light tackle enthusiast, there is excellent fishing for Spearfish, Mahi Mahi and Wahoo While Kona marlin fishing, we run a variety of big game lures for all types of big game fish. You never know if that next strike is going to be a 30lb Wahoo or a 500 lb Pacific Blue Marlin!
