Ono fishing off South Point
"e2" with Captain Mark aboard the Maggie Joe
Maggie Joe has been spending the past few days right off South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii on an overnight sport fishing trip in between tournaments. Along with kicking back, relaxing and taking in the beautiful scenery they’ve gotten in some good fishing as they’ve had success hooking up with some Ono’s. If you would be interested in a overnight fishing trip please give us a call at 1-877-806-3474! Aloha!
Above is some great footage taken before the Tournaments in Kona, Hawaii. Two 300 lb Pacific Blue Marlin were caught and released on the Maggie Joe while deep sea fishing outside of Kona, Hawaii. The video includes some great under water footage and features Captain Mark and Captain Matt both releasing the marlin and acting as cameraman. Enjoy!
Captain Matt / Ahi Man
Captain Matt is having some fun after an Ahi was reeled in during a sport fishing trip off Kona, Hawaii before the Firecracker Tournament. The Firecracker Tournament starts tomorrow! Good luck guys!
Dave and Mike with double strike Ahi's
Dave and Mike, Captain Matt’s father and uncle joined us aboard the Maggie Joe for another round of tournament warm up charters on 6/29/11. We’ve been having a blast with the guys as they both hauled in these nice Ahi’s off a double strike. Earlier in the day an approximately 300 lb Blue Marlin was caught and released as well! We will photos to come.
So far the fishing in Kona, Hawaii has been great and the Captain Mike and the rest of the Maggie Joe crew is geared up and ready for the Firecracker Tournament on July 2nd and 3rd. Aloha!
Marlin Tag and Release off Maggie Joe
Captain Mike and the Maggie Joe crew hooked up with this marlin off Kona, Hawaii in a warmup charter today before the Firecracker Tournament in Kona, Hawaii. Heather was in the fighting chair and did a great job reeling the fish in. The marlin is estimated to be 120 to 15o lbs. The marlin was tagged and released… hopefully we’ll find her again this weekend during the tournament when it counts!
