Hawaii Fishing: Why Deep Sea Fishing Beats Bottom Fishing Trips as a Group Activity

There’s a good reason that people flock from all over the world for the opportunity to take a Hawaii fishing trip. Year-around good weather, clean water and plentiful fish are a powerful attractant to both the novice and expert fishermen alike. Yet, there are many different styles of Hawaii fishing that you could book. Which one is best for you and your group? It depends on the kind of experience you’re after…

3 Major Benefits of Doing Deep Sea Hawaii Fishing Instead of Bottom Fishing Trips

1.    The chance to catch bigger fish. While it’s true that your odds of catching something at all are greater on a bottom fishing trip, you’ll only catch smaller species. In order to try your luck at reeling in the really big monsters (think about how good it would feel to add catching a 1,200 lb blue marlin to your claims to fame), you’ll have to get out into deeper water.

2.    The ability to stay out on the water longer. Booking Hawaii charters for your fishing trip probably won’t happen more than once a year. If you’re going to go to all the trouble of finding Hawaii group accommodations for your fishing trip, why not stay out and bond with your buddies as long as possible? Plus, the longer you stay on the water, the greater your odds of catching something big!

3.    The opportunity to cover more ocean. This benefit coincides with #2. Part of the point of booking a Hawaii fishing group tour is to give yourself and your party the opportunity to see as much of this island paradise as possible!

What species can we catch on our deep sea, Hawaii fishing excursion?

Possible species you could catch on Hawaii charter tours include: Mahi Mahi (which is delicious prepared almost any way!), Ono, Tuna, Short Nose Spearfish, Striped Marlin and Blue Marlin, just to name a few. Check with your captain for policies regarding whether or not you get to keep and eat your catch.

Are there amenities on a deep sea Hawaii fishing boat?

Depending on who you book your Hawaii group services with, your boat might include hot and cold showers, meal plans, snack and wet bars and even a hydrophone which allows you to listen to underwater whale song while you wait for your catch. You’ll likely have to bring your own sunscreen.

There is nothing more exciting that the opportunity to catch the big boys that you get when you take a deep sea Hawaii fishing trip, so make sure to add that to your list of the best activities to schedule for yourself and your group while you visit.
