Shark and Night Fishing with Sea Strike

Although not as popular as Kona's marlin, sharks abound in these waters and can be caught on special charter trips. 16-foot-long tiger sharks have nosed up to the boat when we're not looking for them. Thresher sharks have been landed on marlin lures while trolling, and many other types can be raised. Additional supplies and rates are needed for these trips.

We also target broadbill swordfish on special night-fishing trips in Kona. Swordfish are among the most elusive sport fish to catch. Equal in size to marlin, swordfish is an ultimate quest for many big-game anglers. Late spring/ early summer is the best time of year to catch broadbill in Kona.
