We often get asked, “Can you really catch a blue marlin on an afternoon 4-hour fishing charter?” The answer is yes, and it actually happens a lot more frequently than you might guess. Cori Meltzer and his family joined us on a 4-hour afternoon fishing charter and Captain Brett put him on a very nice Blue Marlin estimated at 450 pounds trolling just a few minutes right outside the harbor entrance.

One of the best things about fishing in Kona is the proximity to the very deep water found just a mile or two from the slip. Kona is one of the few places in the world where Blue Marlin are caught year-round, and one of just a few locales that offer fishing so close to shore, blue marlin are caught just a few minutes after leaving the slip.

That was the case today on an afternoon 4-hour fishing charter, proving once again why Kona is one of the best destinations in the world for blue marlin fishing. So if you are planning to visit Kona this year, be sure to check our current availability on our website and book your fishing charter online for our lowest available rates.
