Luckey Strike II

DEEP SEA TROLLING ON LUCKEY STRIKE II - a 50' Delta Marine Fishing Vessel. 

The main Game fish found in Hawaii are Blue Marlin (to over 1,000 lb.), Spear Fish (to 60 lb.), Wahoo (to 80 lb.), Striped Marlin (to150 lb.), Mahi Mahi, (also known as Dorado or Dolphin fish) (to 70 lb.), Bonita Tuna (to 20 lb.), Skipjack Tuna (to 30 lb.), and Yellow Fin Tuna (Ahi) (to 300 lb.). These fish migrate in and out of the Hawaiian Islands and can be found all year.

Our most universal style of fishing in Hawaii is trolling with lures at 8 to 10 mph. Using this technique you can cover a very large area. All of our game fish swim in excess of 30 mph and will hit the same lures so there is no particular lure for just  Mahi Mahi or Marlin. Strikes doing this type of fishing are very exciting as even a small fish can pull quite a bit of line off a reel in a hurry. A large Marlin strike can be unbelievable as they can pull 600 to 900 yds of line in a matter of seconds.

In contrast to lure fishing we also troll using live and rigged bait such as small tuna, mackerel, or squid. This type of fishing is done in a particular area such as a sea mount, fish aggregation devise (FAD), or drop off, as you can only run up to 3 lines and have to move very slowly. We also use a downrigger to get one bait down deep which can result in some great action. We often catch huge Barracuda (to 80lb.), Amberjack (to 150 lb.), Giant Trevelly (to 150 lb.), Hawaiian Salmon (Rainbow runner to 30 lb.),and Gray Snapper (to 25 lb.), by using a downrigger.

Light tackle bottom fishing is also available on private charters only.We offer 4, 6, and 8 hour trips on both boats and we recommend at least a 6hour trip to give yourself time to get lucky. As with any kind of fishing timing is everything and the more time you spend the better chance you have of finding the big one. Share boats (up to 6 maximum on "Kanoa" and up to 6 maximum on "Luckey Strike II") are arranged when people arrive on the island as we need a minimum of 4 persons to make a trip. Private charters can be arranged in advance and are highly recommended.

One of the largest and most comfortable boats on the island The "Luckey Strike II" is ideal for individual or large groups and the only Coast Guard Certified vessel on Maui for fishing.
