The Doctors

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Finally the weather in Kona settled down a notch.  For the past few weeks our wind pattern has been out of the NE and its been making for rough fishing conditions.  The wind switched to a more easterly direction today and we were able to get up to an area called the grounds.  The bite [...]

Mark Mazur gets his Hawaiian slam

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

The Weather has been getting worse and our charter for yesterday canceled.  The weather today made for bumpy seas but noting that wasn’t fish able.  Mark and Lynn joined us for their last day and we headed south to find calmer waters.  The trolling was slow in the morning but that all changed around noon. [...]

Mark Mazur day 2

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

This time Mark and his wife joined us by themselves for a fullday of fishing.  We had warned them that the last day they had with us was something extraordinary.  Mark wasn’t worried and as a great fishermen would say ” well if we don’t catch anything we’ll still have had a great day on [...]

The seas are angry

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Its not very often in Kona that the weather limits where we can fish, but Hawaii’s weather pattern for the last week has been very unstable.  As we started our morning run up to the grounds the seas started to grow as well as the wind.  Hal Westbrook a good return client joined us for [...]

Two blues in the rough

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

After a great previous day on the grounds we headed back up there with a few local return clients of ours.  After hearing the live bait bite worked well for others yesterday we decided to do the same.  Bait was hard to catch, but after 40 minutes of trying we finally got our first set [...]

Mark Mazur & Friends

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

The weather had been snotty for a few days, and we were unable to fish up north where we’d been having good luck.  On this sunny Monday morning the wind finally backed off and let us get to the fishing grounds where we’d been dying to get to most of last week.  On our very [...]

Martha and Larry day 6

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Martha’s last day in her pursuit of a spearfish would unfortunatly come to an end without the result she was looking for.  With only two seen and one hooked in six days it seemed she was meant to have to return for another try.  Though day six would end with no fish caught it did [...]

Martha and Larry day 5

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Day five started out with a wild little blue right of the bat but then fizzle to nothing more than just a nice boat ride.  Some days the fish bite better than others and this was just an off day.  Other than catching the blue in the morning we wouldn’t see another thing all day. [...]

Martha and Larry day 4

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Day four the marlin finally got the best of us.  We missed a small blue in the morning trolling by f buoy and than had a fish close to 400 try our long rigger a few times before taking off.  In the afternoon we raised a huge fish that also tried our long rigger and [...]

Martha and Larry day 3

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

On day three the weather made a turn for the worse.  Our normal direction of winds are ENE but this day the wind switched to a more northerly component.  Though the weather made the fishing quite uncomfortable the stripped marlin didn’t mind at all and we tagged three of them in the morning.  As the [...]
