Never too old to catch a Marlin! - What an amazing day today! We chartered a 6 hour sport fishing boat hoping to catch dinner for the week but what we got was so much more! Once in a lifetime catch of beautiful blue Marlin. We didn’t keep this beautiful creature, we gladly caught her and released her back to the clear blue waters of Kona Hi. Huge shout out to the Captains Hunter and Daron on the Bite me 4! They were both great helping my 83 year young dad reel this beauty in! Thanks for a great time!

Dependable, Affordable, Nice, Fun Fishing Charter in Kona, Hawaii - We were originally booked on FireHat Charters but the day before we were notified while on a cruise ship that they had mechanical issues with a fuel leak. The Captain was so nice in helping us find an alternative the day before we were in Kona, Hawaii. We could not have made a better choice. We booked "Bite Me 3" and the Capt. was awesome and been on this boat for 15 years. His 1st mate was from Arkansas and was equally awesome. They had a female guest in from Oregon and a former 1st mate who tagged along and helped out running lines, baiting the hooks and was a " Ball of Fire". We caught five (5) Mahi Mahi's and several were around 60 inches and Bull's, we also caught several Ahi Ahi Tuna's in the short 5-6 hour trip. The Boat provided ice and some drinks but we were told to provide our snacks, and drinks but put on the ships ice. The day was perfect, the vessel was awesome and the crew was very nice. The absolute only negative was on the entire island of Kona is no place with dry ice, packaging materials or a business to package our 300 lbs. of Mahi Mahi and Ahi Tuna. We were told the Charter does not provide this service and nobody on the island provides processing your fish for shipment home so we HAD TO GIVE THE FISH TO THE CREW. Still a lot of fun to catch but would have been nice to eat. I would highly recommend this Captain and company but only fish with Live Bait as this is all that we caught fish on. They had some left over from the previous 8AM charter and the Mahi Mahi snapped them up quick. We trolled the coastline and the floating dead log area and was very successful for our party of 4 adults. Took a lot of pictures and made wonderful memories. I will use them again in the future.

Great day - What a great experience. This is our fourth trip with Bite Me! We were fortunate to get Captain Brian and crew Jason on Bite Me 6 this trip. We ended up with a nice Mahi Mahi and Ono. The knowledge determination and encouragement those two men had made our trip!!! What a great day and so many great memories for us. Thank you Thank you!

Caught memories of a lifetime - 5 friends chartered the boat Bite Me 4 with THE BEST crew. Captain Curtis and Juda immediately felt like our friends right from the welcoming greeting and it only got better from there. Let me just say that Juda is very passionate, knowledgeable and informative about his job. He's an artist and it was great to watch the whole production of attaching, casting and setting up all of the reels, changes to the lures and to watch the water for signs. He's on the job instantly when the line hits, honestly he was at the reel from the top of the boat before I even blinked an eye. Captain and Juda also did a special memorial tribute to our friends dog who had recently passed. They wanted to spread some of his ashes and the cap & crew went above and beyond. Here is the review they wrote "Captain Curtis and Juda were such great guys giving us the perfect and most memorable ceremony at sea. Two flags raised to half-staff while looping around Briggs’ ashes. Grateful to our dearest friends there with us on this trip, and to capture such a special moment ❤️" We were all touched and moved to tears at this experience. As for fishing, we did get 2 hits though we didn't hook anything, but that didn't matter to us because we caught something more valuable. It's the memories we caught from this charter that will last our lifetime. MAHALO Captain & Juda, you two are top notch. Suggestions: 1.Take motion sickness meds the night before. 2. Bring sunscreen and a hat. #3 pack a cooler with sandwiches abs drinks. And #4 Is Very Important- TIP the crew, they work hard to make your trip a great time give them the gratitude they deserve.

The best fishing trip ever! - Captain Brian and first mate Cody on Bite Me 6 were absolutely incredible! They were professional and knew the waters well, and made for a conscientious and entertaining crew. We caught a beautiful fish and saw a pod of dolphins, and had a great time traveling in the waters around the island! Our family of 6 loved our trip!

Amazing Experience! - Went with Bite Me 6. Ryan and Cody were amazing, especially with my 93 year old Step Dad. We had a great day fishing…say school of hammer head sharks, dolphins, skip Jack. Very polite, helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Double Marlin catch - Wow! Cannot say enough about Captain Brooke and Roen. Headed out with my family and within 20 minutes my son and I were hooked in on a Blue Marlin each! Adventure of a life time 12/10. When I go back to Hawaii I will be back out with Bite Me tours and Capt Brooke!

dissappointing boring poisoned by boat fumes - I wouldnt recommend "bite me fishing" to anyone else. Ok first day 4hr hour shared trip....location given hopeless 4 of us didnt find it. Skipper and mate nice lads but smelt like sleep in their car. Skipper said capt gets 10.99$ an hour mate tips only...caught nothing except diesel fumes in lungs.\ 2nd day 6 hrs thouroughly burnt out skipper fat lad with beard wouldnt let anyone up top...so suffered diesel poisoning made it known and ignored. His lass 2nd mate said it was cos he is scared of covid he said no he fell climbing ladder. promised live bait fishing got 20 mins of it and we caught a foot long tuna in 5 mins which they kept. we were not even offered to make fish n chips out of it. To summarize $650 spent each to know NEVRE EVER AGAIN. Its not the kids fault we caught f all...but the miserable time had was.

Avoid - We tried Bite Me Sportfishing on Big Island. Pros: - Good boat for fishing Cons: - They are NOT using a real bait, therefore much lower rate to catch the fish - They tackle and bait are oriented on very big fish only, so you will be missing all the fish bellow 150-300 lb. - Very expensive Result you will achieve with Bite Me Sport Fishing: you will spend around $500+ and will come back home with empty hands and money lost

Tara the terrible - Tara the Terrible To say it mildly, very disappointing. We’ve used this company in the past many times and send most of our clients to them. The captain we had today, I think her name was Tara should be named Tara the terrible and if you ever get her ask for your money back and run for the hills. 

 She was obnoxious from the first time I walked up to the boat, She was late to begin with and God I wish I would’ve walked away. I took my party of six including family and business friends on the boat and this woman would not shut up and it seemed like all she wanted to do was abrade, belittle and nitpick everybody on the boat, Super obnoxious. I am not going to go through the litany of subpar professionalism the list is ridiculously too long 

I do feel sorry for uncle Walter our deck hand he has been doing this for the better part of 30 years because it did affect how much he was tipped. I can only imagine how badly she treats tourists because we actually live on the island.

 Please Think twice before you send this captain out because we have had excellent experiences with your company in the past and now I question my past loyalty to the company. It’s a small big Island. I would send her back to Oahu
