Don't Come for the Fishing
I have been on similar fishing trips in the past. As far as fishing goes, this was the biggest disappointment of all of them.
The fishing gear was not adequate for the fish in the area. Throughout the trip rigs were being lost to fish with sharp teeth. I personally lost one rig and my partner lost two, and it was definitely a fish, not coral. The captain and mate spent a large amount of time replacing rigs.
Over the course of four hours the entire boat caught about eight triggerfish, which all had to be thrown back. Not a single keeper was caught. A majority of the boat, including myself and my partner, never hooked a thing except for whatever stole our rigs. I believe a lot more fish could be caught if appropriate tackle was used.
The sunset and the view of Honolulu were the bright spots in the evening. The boat also got a great view of Diamondhead.
I will never being doing the fishing trips again, but a sunset dinner cruise might be worth it.
