CHARTER FISHING BOATS set out from Lahaina, Mā‘alaea Harbor and Māla Wharf daily in pursuit of mahimahi (dolphin fish), ono (wahoo), ‘ahi (yellowfin tuna), ulua (jack crevalle), kawa kawa (bonito) and the sport fisher’s dream: Pacific blue marlin.
Some companies offer SHALLOW-WATER BOTTOM FISHING , which is done by drifting in depths of 60-180 feet with either spinning or small open-face reels.
Although fish can be caught between the islands, many captains prefer to work the deep shelves located beyond LĀNA‘I and KAHO‘OLAWE . If a captain has a charter with experienced rough-water boaters, he may elect to fish the waters on the northern and eastern coast of Maui or off MOLOKA‘I .
