Big game fishing is a popular activity on Oahu all year round. Oahu's off shore waters are teeming with fish of all shapes and sizes, from the kind you keep in a fish tank to the monsters that Captain Nemo dreaded. To embark on a deep sea fishing adventure is highly recommended. Even if the only things you catch are the sun rays, you can enjoy the experience of sailing over the Pacific.

The fish most commonly caught off Oahu's shore include: marlin, ahi, ono, mahimahi and even the occasional deep-water snapper. Deep sea boats normally troll the generally calm waters along the Waianae Coast, from Barbers Point to Kaena Point. Most of the fleet moors in Kewalo Basin in Honolulu. This is found along Moana Boulevard next to Fisherman's Wharf. The harbour is an impressive sight in itself, and worth a visit. If contemplating a fishing trip, it is a good idea to visit the harbour the day before you leave to suss things out. Scout out a few of the boats and talk with returning captains and fisherman to determine the charter that would best suit you.
