Let Deep Sea Fishing Kauai take you to some fishing fun with their package tours!
Deep Sea Fishing Kauai is one of the few fishing tour operators that run on the leeward side of the island.
To those familiar, this is an ideal route because the rains and winds coming into the island are deflected by the Hapuu mountain range, leaving calm spots in the lee of the mountain. WIth Deep Sea Fishing Kauai, you can thus expect calmer and more consistent waves during the boat ride and the fishing adventure. To add to this are its high-powered fishing vessels, designed especially for some open ocean activities!
Deep Sea Fishing Kauai’s flagship vessel is the Big Ta Do, a 31-foot Bertram Custom Sport Fishing powered with twin 330 HP turbo-charged Cummins engines for that smooth and stable ride. It has been continually refitted with improvements, and now has a pompano fighting chair, oversized rudders, and bathroom for guests to fully enjoy the experience on board. Of course, it has all the necessary fishing equipment, too, even some big-sized custom bunk/fish boxes for your fish catch! Just make sure to bring your own personal coolers, as Deep Sea Fishing Kauai allows its guests to take home some of the fish catch.
Kauai’s waters are teeming with a variety of fish, which you can have the opportunity to catch in this tour! Some of these fish include Yellowfin and Big Eye Tuna, a trophy catch that can weigh over 270 pounds, the Pacific Blue Marlin, often more than 100 pounds but can reach up to 500 pounds, and the Mahi-Mahi, known for its tropical-colored scales. There are smaller incidental catches, too, like the Skip Jack and False Albacore. As mentioned, Deep Sea Fishing Kauai allows its guests to take home some of the fish catch, but of course, the catch will also be shared with the captain and local anglers. The larger fish are also reserved usually for the local markets. Usually, after the fish catch is processed and cleaned, they will be cut up to around 20 pounds and shared accordingly with the guests. Thus, after that fun fishing experience, you will get to enjoy a delicious seafood meal with your catch after. Seafood can’t get any fresher than this!
