Looking for a ride on Maui this week

Chasst · Nov-15-2009, 10:59 AM

I already posted in the ho thread. Just throwing the word out there. I'll fish any day. None of the people I'm staying with fish. Even if you are shore fishing and would be willing to take an avid fisherman with ya, shoot me a message, text or call

I'm happy to HELP in any way.

I'm available until the 23rd.

Thanks,

Some Maui charters go for boat rides cause its close and the water is nice. They go out and save fuel, pretend to fish and when 8 hours is up time to go home. When the non charters go they go to kill fish no matter what. May be he prefers to fish with people that are 100% dedicated to catch fish then those who are there for a pay check

I'm just looking for something other than the cattle boat experience. Thats it. Don't read into it too much. Broke, no. Just not into the charter experience. I own my own boat and I take a LOT of people fishing. Most of them go out of their way to tell me how much better their trip with me was than the last charter they did. I've had the same experience. Charters would only be a last resort for me.

Yesterday both Reel Hooker and Ikaika Kai caught over a dozen mahi mahi. They did this by going out at night (not getting paid) and catching bait (Opelu) for the next days charter.
I'm know there are plenty of charter boats on Maui that do go on a lot of boat rides, but some of them will go the extra mile to catch fish.

Exactly some go on boat rides and others like the 2 you mentioned work there ass off. As for not making any money working the sport boat your right and that is why i found a different job. Some boats don't put the extra time in, you dont catch fish and you go broke.

Sexy girl holding a nice mahi cant go wrong there.
