Trolling, Bottom Fishing, Light Tackle,
Big Game, Shark Fishing!
Islander Sportfishing
Charters is Oahu, Hawaii's most diverse
and experienced sportfishing charter. Through our
wide range of fishing techniques, not only do we better
satisfy our anglers' desires, but we also increase your
chances of catching fish.
Unlike most Hawaii sportfishing
charters that simply put out their lures and troll for
hours waiting for a strike, with Islander Sportfishing,
if the fish aren't biting on the trolling ledge, we
can blast over to our bottom fishing hotspots on our
fast and nimble Islander Twin Vee 29 Catamaran.
Our location on the calm
west coast of Oahu already places us near Oahu's
best fishing areas and 5 FAD'S, or Fish Aggregation
Devices, which attract all Pelagic Fish. At Islander
Sportfishing customer satisfaction, having fun, catching
fish & providing a safe, knowledgeable and enjoyable
experience are our top priorities for you. Check out
the photos below to see what you can expect to experience
on our fishing charters.
Why We Specialize in Light Tackle Fishing
At Islander Sportfishing,
we view light tackle fishing as an advantage. Lighter,
smaller lines are less visible to the fish, making it
more likely that they'll bite the bait since they don't
see a heavy line sticking out of it.
Light tackle also makes
fishing fun, challenging and exciting. It's more sensitive
to the fisherman's feel, providing the greatest action
and enjoyment so you feel the fish's fighting actions
rather than just cranking in the fish on a large, heavy
tackle reel. You can also hold the rod while waiting
on a bite, feel the strike, set the hook
and immediately start fighting the fish.
Family Fun and the "Aloha Spirit"
Whether we have serious
deep sea fishermen onboard or a traditional family of
six, we strive to promote a fun, family type of fishing
experience. Our captains and crew embrace and share
the Aloha Spirit with you. The Aloha Spirit
is friendly acceptance and joyful sharing of good thoughts,
good feelings and goodness among and between all onboard
the Islander. A humble, pleasant and united fishing
atmosphere lends to a healthier, more harmonious and
more productive day of fishing.
Keep Your Fishing Catch
Unlike most sportfishing
charters that send you home with only a dinner portion
of fish, Islander Sportfishing allows you to take
as much of your fishing catch as you desire. We'll
even filet and bag your fish for you when we get back
to the marina. We just ask that you take only what you'll
eat or share with your family and friends.
