Kona Hawaii Fishing
with
Capt. Jeff Rogers

Kona has the best fishing of all the islands and 2/3 of Hawaii's charter fishing fleet

Deep sea CATCHING charters on the "Big Island" of Hawaii


Don't just go for a boat ride.

As the saying goes, 10% of fishermen catch 90% of the fish
&
Capt. Jeff is Kona's #1 sportfish catching captain 8 years in a row !
Also, updated catch statistics!
Kona Hawaii fishing with  Penn 80 lb. tackle Hawaii is one of the worlds top deep sea fishing destinations and it's the geography of the Big island that makes Kona Hawaii the sportfishing capital of the Pacific. Five huge mountain masses protect the Kona coast from the winds resulting in sea conditions that are usually as calm as a lake. The steep slope of the ocean bottom puts the deep sea sportfishing within a short distance from the shoreline. Just three miles straight out of the harbor, it's over 6000' deep! Six species of billfish roam the Kona coast along with six species of tuna, mahi Mahi (dorado), ono (wahoo), several species of shark and a wide variety of big-game bottom fish. With so many kinds of fish and fishing styles available, there's little excuse for not catching fish.

Capt. Jeff Rogers with a 75 lb. Giant Trevally caught on a jig.....This is one of the hardest fighting fish you can catch!  

  "Whether you're looking for that big trophy catch of a lifetime, some delicious fish to take home or just wanting to catch fish after fish after fish until your arms are too weak to haul in another, I'll do my best to give you the best Hawaii fishing trip you've ever had!"

With four boats to choose from and Captain Jeff Rogers as your captain, you get to choose the boat and style that suits you best. On the Mega Bites, Carnivore and Dream Catcher, Captain Jeff offers a unique "hands on" sportfishing experience. People who have some fishing experience will

appreciate the fact that you get to be involved in the sport fishing process. On charter boats that use a deckhand, it's the deckhand's job to do everything on the deck. You'll never get to touch the tackle except to reel in a fish. Most people enjoy their fishing experience a lot more fun while learning the ropes and getting involved, turning Hawaii fishing into more of a contact sport and less of a spectator sport. Big game fishing experience is not necessary! I've been running single handed charters for over 8 years now without a single problem! If you have a few medium size fish under your belt, your fishing experience will go a long way and you'll really appreciate this "hands on" type of fishing charter. If you don't feel comfortable handling the rods, reels, lures, etc., then the typical type of Kona Hawaii fishing charter might be more your style and the Grand Slam is a great boat to do that on. The Grand Slam is one of the biggest and most comfortable boats in the harbor. We'll do everything for you except reel in your fish.



  Another thing that sets captain Jeff apart from the rest of the Kona fishing fleet is the fact that he finds "fishing" to be boring. Let's go catching! The typical Hawaii fishing charter will wander around the ocean all day, trolling lures and hoping for the best. The trolling bite is always in a state of flux. If the trolling bite is good and there's enough action to keep things moving, then that's what we do. If not, the Kona bottom bite is almost always a guarantee of catching large fish. A combination of both usually produces fish and breaks up the monotony of just trolling all day. You can always check out the fish photos page to see Capt. Jeff's' recent catches.

Stand-up fight! This fight lasted 4 1/2 hours and then the hook pulled out.

Always friendly and courteous service!
Capt. Jeff is a sportfishing guide that loves to fish!
