We were originally booked on FireHat Charters but the day before we were notified while on a cruise ship that they had mechanical issues with a fuel leak. The Captain was so nice in helping us find an alternative the day before we were in Kona, Hawaii. We could not have made a better choice. We booked "Bite Me 3" and the Capt. was awesome and been on this boat for 15 years. His 1st mate was from Arkansas and was equally awesome. They had a female guest in from Oregon and a former 1st mate who tagged along and helped out running lines, baiting the hooks and was a " Ball of Fire". We caught five (5) Mahi Mahi's and several were around 60 inches and Bull's, we also caught several Ahi Ahi Tuna's in the short 5-6 hour trip. The Boat provided ice and some drinks but we were told to provide our snacks, and drinks but put on the ships ice. The day was perfect, the vessel was awesome and the crew was very nice. The absolute only negative was on the entire island of Kona is no place with dry ice, packaging materials or a business to package our 300 lbs. of Mahi Mahi and Ahi Tuna. We were told the Charter does not provide this service and nobody on the island provides processing your fish for shipment home so we HAD TO GIVE THE FISH TO THE CREW. Still a lot of fun to catch but would have been nice to eat. I would highly recommend this Captain and company but only fish with Live Bait as this is all that we caught fish on. They had some left over from the previous 8AM charter and the Mahi Mahi snapped them up quick. We trolled the coastline and the floating dead log area and was very successful for our party of 4 adults. Took a lot of pictures and made wonderful memories. I will use them again in the future.
