Kona Hawaii Sport Fishing
with
Capt. Jeff Rogers

  "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 two 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 Aloha Kai, 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. Some people enjoy their fishing experience a lot more 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 10 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 "Intrepid" is a great boat to do that. On the Intrepid the deckhand and I will handle all the tackle except for reeling 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" all day to be boring. Let's go catching! The typical Hawaii fishing charter will wander around the ocean all day trolling lures and hope 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 bottom bite is almost always a guarantee of catching fish in the 10 to 1000 lb. size. A combination of both usually produces a catch and breaks up the monotony of doing the same thing all day. You can always check out the fish photos page to see Capt. Jeff's' recent catches.

Captain Jeff also uses some the latest in fishing technologies. Electronics, rods, reels and lines have come a long way in recent years. It's not much fun or much of a challenge fighting fish on huge 130 lb. reels attached to a rod as big and stiff as a broom stick. Your typical Kona catch can barely put a bend in a rod like that. Smaller, high performance rods, reels and line make catching the medium size fish like striped marlin, spearfish, mahi mahi, ono, shibi and jacks a lot more fun yet they have the power to bring in large pacific blue marlin, yellowfin tuna or huge dusky and tiger sharks.
