Hi Dee, I would like to buy a matching lure that you and Mark hooked 
that marlin with last Thursday. Where can I do that? I also want to 
thankyou for the great time we experienced. Wow!  I read the fishing 
report today and know what a truly unique deal it was. Mark will not 
forget it and I wanted to put a photo& lure up in his billiard room. 
You worked ALL the time on that charter and appreciate it all. Mark 
left today, but I am in Kona till Friday. Susan 907-232-5655

Hi Dee – well I want to thank you once again for a great fishing trip.  Rick and I enjoyed catching our fish and just being out there on the sea.  Both of my trips with you have been an experience of a lifetime, first catching the marlin and then the spearfish.  A great memory and a great time.  Hope your shoulder is better.  Again thanks for making our trip to Hawaii an experience of a lifetime.  Hope to sail with you again someday.  Warmest regards

Hi Dee,
 

 We had a Great Day today(7am - 11am).  Within one hour we had a huge strike 600lb Blue right out of the water.  What a sight!!!!!!  Made our day.  We were happy to go in with just that in our memories.  Then 30 mins later 'game on' - 300lb plus blue ripping accross the water - this time we had it.  45 - 50 mins of fighting to the boat then released him in good shape.  What a day!!!!!!!Captain Dee!!!Thank you so much for the wonderful time.

  Oh ya....did I mention Linda brought in the marlin - way to go Linda!

Hi Dee, 

Just quick note – first we miss you!!  Maui is great but it’s more fun on your boat trolling for the Blues.   Here’s our thoughts for your website:   Rich & I had fished on three prior charters before we decided to book Highnoon.  We liked that you are the owner/operator and could customize our trip.  This time I (not Rich) was determined to catch a fish – any fish.   The first day was exciting as we changed from lures to live bait and kept us hopping.  Both the tuna and spear fish put up a great fight making it more exciting and possible to catch the Big One.   I couldn’t resist and called you two days later for a second try.  Our once-in-a-lifetime dream came true!!  We caught the Big Blue all 497 lbs of him.  By far it was an overwhelming exciting day and one we will cherish.  We enjoyed getting to know you and your love for sport fishing. You are the best and we’ll see you in February 2011!!  

All the best, Rich and Arlene Maurer

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! You were all over the fish! Definitely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii.

Capt. Dee,

Your fishing report looks great; thanks again for a fishing trip that most people including myself dream about.  Megan and I hope to one day join you again for a new adventure at sea.  Attached are a few of the pictures from the trip, some are better than others; my adrenalin was running on overdrive and forgot to focus the camera for a few shots. Great Fishing!

Hi Captain Dee Bradford
 
I would like to thank you for a terrific day of fishing. I read the kind words on your web site. I really got a good look at the marlin and I looked at the record marlin in the downtown hotel in Kona. I am sure it was every bit the size of the record marlin. It was at least a 800 pound marlin. I wish your web site would show a way to leave feedback for others to see. I would give you great feedback and others could know what a terrific effort you give your fishing charters. It would also be great if you had a map posted to show how people all over the place come to fish with you. If you ever change your web site so we can leave positive feedback and kind words let me know. I will give you big A "t" for the fishing trip. I will continue to watch your web site. Someday I will again vist Kona and look forward to fishing if your not retired. Thanks Jeff Ferris

Hi Dee

I just wanted to  let you know how great a time damien and i had on HighNoon last week.  We are already regretting  departure.  Super marlin and a great capitano!  We learned a lot too.  I did  follow up on the palm property last day in kona and have a strong interest in  the business.  Much thanks for the connection.  Hawi is certainly a great area.

Let me know how season progresses and well see if we can get back in 'winter 'after I get finished in Jamaica and then a month or so in central Asia.  Let me know if you get the ski urge. If winter here is like summer has been, well have lot of snow in santa fe and taos   and as we say mi casa tu casa

Captain Bradford:

Thank you so much for the great trip last month. We were so excited catching that Marlin...my husband said it was the greatest experience of his life. I hope we can come back to Kona soon. I also really liked that you cut and bagged that Wahoo for us. It was great on the BBQ.

Aloha, jeanette Chilcote    Cruzanut@Yahoo.com

Aloha Captain Dee,

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed catching that Marlin on your boat. Thanks for telling me I couldn't give up because I'd hate myself...you were right! And that was just the thing I needed to hear to stay in the fight.

I am now a female basking in the glow of male amazement, praise, and a bit of envy....how fun!

Many Mahalos!

A note and some photos to let you know that we considered our day on the ocean fishing with you the very best part of our vacation trip to the big island. I for one was really impressed how hard you worked to keep maximum lines in the water for maximum fishing time.

We fixed half the Ono like you instructed and it came out awesome. The other half we froze, insulated it with a dozen t-shirts, brought it home and ate it the following day. It came out better on my bar-b-q as I was more familiar with using it.

I really would like one of your company logo long sleeve shirts in XL. Let me know how much and what postage to ship.

Anyway Thanks and when we start planning another trip you will get the first call.

Capt. Dee,

I've tried for the past two years , unsuccessfully, to get back to Kona to fish with you again. I'm finally able to do it. A few friends and I will be in Kona from July 16 to July 23. I hope you have some openings in that week. If you do could you e-mail me the open dates so we can work out our schedule?

Hello Captain Dee!

I hope all is well with you. Steve and I had a great time back in March. Despite all the challenges - it was absolutely perfect. Thanks again for such a great experience - 4 fish and great memories.

Ron

Capt. Bradford,

I was wondering if it is possible to order a few of the long sleeve High Noon Sportfishing shirts. My wife and i picked up a few shirts when we went fishing on our honeymoon in August of 06 and would love to get a few more. Your fishing trip was the highlight of our visit to Kona, thanks!

Thanks Bill

Aloha Capt. Dee,

I hope this message finds you doing well. I haven't sent you an Email since we moved to Maui and we fished the Rock-n-Reel tournament in 2006 and I won that great rod and reel. We have settled in and are enjoying life in Hawaii. A friend of mine, Mark Jenkin from Minnesota, Emailed me and asked about fishing on the Big Island. I sent him a reply with your website attached. I hope he contacts you and is able to fish HIGHNOON. I gave you my highest regards. I wear my HIGHNOON shirt often and think of the good fishing we had together. I tell my friends who are visiting the Big Island, that you are the best skipper in the harbor!

I always enjoy going to your website and seeing your latest catch!

Congrats on the the Valentine Catch and best wishes for 2008,

your friend,
Chris Armstrong

Dee,

Was just checking out the fishing in Kona. Still have fond memories of our tournament trip. Hope you are well and fishing is good. Don't know that we will make this summer.

Wish we could.
Dan
