Fishing in Southern California, Catalina Island continues Epic Summer Season

Catalina Island

Hi Everyone from Newport Landing, Newport Beach, California, USA

Fun fishing continues with Patriot having pretty non-stop action on yellowtail and "large" bonito while fishing Catalina Island the last few days. Almost every bait is bite in some of the best fishing at Catalina Island in years. On Sunday Sept 28, the Patriot had only 19 anglers catch 61 yellowtail, 95 (5-10 lb) bonito, 19 calico bass, and 1 skipjack tuna. They hooked many more fish to land the 170+ fish they did. These larger bonito are so fast that when they are hooked they have you from the back of the boat to bow in a blink of an eye.

Tour Spotlight ..... "Happy Hunter" Fishing Charter, Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor, Lihue, HI 96766


KAUAI DEEP SEA FISHING ABOARD
HAPPY HUNTER CHARTERS

If you’re looking for great deep sea fishing action in Kauai, the Happy Hunter is the boat for you! We’ve been fishing and catching in these waters since 1988! The Happy Hunter II is a 41-foot Pacifica Sportfisher that operates out of Nawiliwili Harbor on the east coast of the island of Kauai. We have one of the best maintained and well kept sport fishing vessel on the island along with professionally maintained top of the line Shimano Tiagra reels and custom made rods handcrafted by Hank Zeevat for local Kauai waters.


We specialize in private, exclusive fishing charters which we feel is the best way to experience your fishing experience on the beautiful island of Kauai: The advantages are akin to flying first class versus coach on your flight to Kauai: You will receive more personal attention because of the lower number of people on board.

Kauai Fishing Charter Rates

Private Charter

4 Hours – $700
6 Hours – $1000
8 Hours – $1300

Share Charters

4 Hours – $200 per person

Share charters are only offered for half day of fishing because of client make-ups: A large number of first timers are prone to motion sickness and can be uncomfortable. Share fishing charters are committed to the whole duration of the charter and cannot return sooner to accommodate anyone feeling under the weather. For this reason we feel that 4 hour charters are the best option for shares.
