Bite Me Sportfishing
Bite Me Sportfishing runs Kona fishing charters from Honokohau Harbor, with six charter boats, shared and private trips, and access to the deep water off the Kona Coast.
Just outside Kailua-Kona, the ocean floor drops away into thousands of feet of deep Pacific water only a short run from the harbor. That unique geography has made the Kona Coast one of the world's premier big-game fishing destinations, and Bite Me Sportfishing has been chasing marlin, ahi, ono and mahi mahi here for decades. The company operates a fleet of purpose-built sportfishing boats, giving anglers a choice of vessel sizes and trip lengths while fishing the productive offshore waters of the Big Island.
Each boat is rigged with tournament-quality tackle, outriggers, fighting chairs and modern fish-finding electronics, while experienced captains adjust trolling patterns based on current conditions, water temperature and recent catches. Blue marlin are the headline species, with fish weighing several hundred pounds landed throughout the year, but yellowfin tuna, wahoo, mahi mahi and shortbill spearfish also keep rods bending depending on the season. Whether you're joining a half-day introduction or a full-day offshore adventure, every trip showcases why Kona fishing charters consistently rank among Hawaii's most exciting ocean experiences.
Bite Me Sportfishing welcomes everyone from complete beginners to experienced anglers chasing a personal best. Crew members handle bait preparation, lure changes, tackle setup and fish handling while explaining techniques such as trolling, reading bird activity and spotting temperature breaks where pelagic fish often gather. Comfortable cabins, shaded seating and onboard restrooms make longer trips easier for families, while multiple vessels allow the company to match different group sizes and fishing styles throughout the year.
Most charters depart from Honokohau Harbor, only minutes north of Kailua-Kona, placing you on the fishing grounds quickly instead of spending hours running offshore. Rods, reels, tackle, bait and fishing licenses are included, so you only need sun protection, comfortable clothing and a camera ready for the day's catch. Depending on the season, you may also spot dolphins, sea turtles or even humpback whales during the ride out, adding another memorable layer to the experience. Whether your goal is battling a trophy blue marlin or simply enjoying a morning on Kona's legendary blue water, Bite Me Sportfishing combines experienced crews, well-equipped boats and one of Hawaii's most productive fisheries into an unforgettable offshore adventure.
