BIG GAME FISHING AT ITS BEST.

THE ULTIMATE HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE

 

Welcome to DEEP SEA FISHING KAUAI, the original “Ultimate Hawaiian Fishing Adventure.”   Kauai is a magnificent fishing destination uniquely suited for the outdoor enthusiast, our remote location and deep waters provide easy access to the world’s most powerful game fish.  With the largest fleet of legendary strike boats on the island, we make sport fishing on Kauai the island’s most exciting and memorable Hawaiian experience.

 

Our location at Port Allen Small Boat Harbor, on the sunny South side of Kauai, provides optimum weather, ocean conditions, fishing grounds and access to scenic destinations.

 

“I love the diversity of fishing and  being on the water.  You can be surprised any day, with something spectacular!  I’ve taken over 100,000 people fishing and have met so many great people and lifetime friends on the boat. ” – Captain J

WE WORK SMARTER AND HARDER

 

Born in the islands, I have been fishing in Hawaiian waters since I was eight. Experience is a great teacher and great teaching comes with experience. When it matters, and it always matters, there is no substitute for knowledge. I own and operate this custom fishing fleet with captains and crew that understand what it takes to make it happen day in and day out. With a hardworking, be prepared, and keep-it-simple approach to each day we are dedicated to making sure your opportunities are rewarded. Our team is here to make it fun and safe. When done right, it appears effortless but it’s not. We all respect our role as professionals. That’s what we do and we hope you come back and see us every year.   Read how it all began in the Garden Island article here.

FISH WITH US

 

Simply put, Location, Location, Location! Calmer leeward waters offer the best ocean conditions nearly every day of the year. Docked in PORT ALLEN SMALL BOAT HARBOR, our fleet accesses the leeward waters of KAUAI. Our favorable location affords us instant access to the island’s calmer leeward waters while granting access to the NA PALI coast and the ISLAND of NIIHAU. Remote and plentiful, the westernmost waters in the United States are at our jetty wall.

 

Fishing from our legendary fishing machines makes “CONTACT” fun. These vessels are not yachts; they are machines. Imitated but never duplicated, these vessels offer performance, stability, strength, beauty and fun. The 31′ BERTRAM is the legend all other boats were built upon.

 

Captain J

 

Since 2002 I have owned and operated Deep Sea Fishing Kauai, where I provide opportunities for others to experience the incredible thrill of landing big game fish. I enjoy providing opportunities for “friends” to experience……fish.  Having been raised by my father Conrad on Kauai, who was diving and fishing since 1971, I was encouraged to learn quick and work hard but never growing up. Taking the wheel at thirteen was a big responsibility as well as opportunity to learn the waters. I grew to love fishing and that is what I do.  I am still blessed to share this unique and exciting experience with you. I invite you to join our team for an adventure like no other. Make the choice to fish with us off the leeward coast from Port Allen Small Boat Harbor, where calmer waters, better fishing and more options are here for you. Niihau, Mana Crack and the Island of Niihau are in range. You will love the productive, calm leeward waters and the scenic destinations of the Na Pali Coast and the Forbidden isle of Ni’ihau.

 

OUR FISHING FLEET

 
Three completely refurbished and custom vessels make up our Port Allen fishing fleet. Two 31′ Bertram Sportfishers (LITTLE TA DO and BIG TA DO) along with our 32′ Blackfin (CONNIE CLAIRE) are known for their unmatched performance and enduring beauty. The 31 Bertram has carved out a reputation that resonates worldwide. Designed and constructed for the open ocean with a proven performance hull, low center of gravity and wide bean for stability.  Powered aggressively with twin screws for speed and maneuverability, our fishing vessels are formidable fishing machines capable in any conditions. All our vessels are outfitted with Shimano TIAGRA 30’S, 50’S 80’S and 130’S on custom CALSTAR 80 rods for feel when you want it and power when you need it. Light tackle options exist with Shimano TORIUM reels mounted on Shimano TREVALA rods. All vessels have a full marine head with privacy door.
 

BIG CONTACT IS REAL

 

We get to travel the oceans surface and encounter the biggest and strongest fish on the planet right outside the harbor entrance. You cannot miss this incredible opportunity to encounter the best the islands have to offer and experience an incredible fishing adventure aboard our legendary fishing fleet. Experience game of the finest kind: Blue marlin, Black marlin, Stripped Marlin, Short Nosed Spearfish, Mahi Mahi, Ono, Yellow Fin, Big Eye and Skipjack Tunas.  It can and does happen year around. Between the gaps there are Trevally, Amberjack, Grey Snapper, and any number of shallow water species to angler for.
