One of the best things about bottom-fishing is your inability to know what's going on in the depths below. In this instance we were working a pile of Yellow Snapper and small goat fish. Based on the final picture, we know that we got really lucky. We believe we hooked a small goat fish on this rod. As we brought it off the bottom, the pole doubled over and started peeling line! As we fought we could see a beautiful flash 50 ft down. As the fished surfaced we saw a tiny hook buried in the corner of it's mouth. A beautiful and rare Kagami (african pompano)! Congrats all and Merry Christmas!
The rare KAGAMI hits the catch!
The Team at MANA Cruises
Why VENTURE?
Hawaii is saturated with many different types of ocean activities. Being in the commercial chartering scene for nearly a decade, we noticed a gap in Hawaii's fishing offerings, where there are plenty of Deep-Sea Fishing Experiences, but none are aimed at catering to the whole family - regardless of age & experience.
At The VENTURE Boat, we offer more than just exceptional fishing and snorkeling trips from Ko Olina—we provide a family-like atmosphere that enhances every adventure. Our crew is not just a team; we are a family, not through blood but through years of working closely together, sharing countless sea voyages - and above all: a shared commitment to SAFETY, ALOHA & EXCELLENCE.
