Hawaii Travel: Maui Fishing
Fishing in Maui is somewhat different from the kind of watering-hole sojourns many of us took as kids. Instead of fishing for bass and smaller freshwater fish, these outings involve some of the most gorgeous and majestic creatures the sea has yet devised. No wonder pilgrims come here bearing rod and reel from every corner of the globe.
What can you find in Maui that you cant on the mainland? Big fish like marlins and swordfish are not uncommon, and tropical fish that take your breath away are visible from every boat and shoal in the area. No matter what your taste for the sport, you are likely to find some aquatic life unlike anything youve ever seen.
Reel It In
If youve gone before, you know that fishing takes a good amount of preparation. Knowing when the fish feed, where they congregate, and what sort of lure works best are essential, as is an innate sense of their habits. Some of the best fishing guides anywhere on Valley Isle make their services available, so you can be sure of coming home with an appetizer, if not dinner.
Fishing on Maui is strictly regulated according to international agreement, so you may want to check with the local board before hauling in anything suspect. Get the right info, however, and you are free to fish on any of the islands hundreds of streams, rivers and coastal areas. Deep sea fishing is available as well if you want to take an expedition to see how the pros do it.
