"We met Capt Clay at the Kaunakakai Wharf at 7:00 am, weather was calm and spectacular. First two fish caught were goat fish then a Papio (yellow spotted trevally). Another goat fish and then a 12 lb gray snapper (Uku), great eating.

What a great day of fishing! Capt Clay is a sensitive, funny and delightful man. We hope to return to fish again on the Hallelujah Hou!"

Molokai's south shore has one of the longest fringing reefs of all the Hawaiian Islands. This is the method of choice for the majority of people fishing aboard the Hallelujah Hou as it offers the most variety of all the other choices of fishing. It is a light tackle sport so equipment is easier to handle. The Trevally (Papio) is one of the prized catches that are sought after using this method of fishing. Weights are usually in the 2- 7 pound sizes. Light spinning gear is used majority of the time and fish under 10 inches are always released. The fish are a white fleshed fish that makes good table fare. Occasionally, a snapper (Uku), goatfish (Weke) or Leatherback (La'i) may be caught fishing with this technique.

The thrill of a youngster catching his/her first fish is a definite highlight. Families with children choose this style of fishing, as the areas fished are usually quite close in proximity to the wharf in the event that someone needs to return quickly to shore because of seasickness. Drifting is the preferred method (engines are turned off) as the vessel is extremely stable at rest, which makes it pleasant to enjoy the deep blue beauty of the ocean while fishing. Occasionally other sea creatures like porpoises and sea turtles (honu) will swim by to check out the boat. You never know what you will catch while bottomfishing!

Deep sea fishing usually entails a lot heavier gear than any other type of fishing offered aboard the Hallelujah Hou because of the sheer size of the game that is being pursued. The kind of fish that can be caught are Pacific Blue Marlin (A'u), Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), Mahimahi (Dorado), Wahoo (Ono) Skipjack Tuna (Aku). Some of the fish are seasonal like the Wahoo and Yellowfin, (summer months May-July) while others are occassionally caught all year long. The usual method is trolling with artificial lures, so the boat is always moving. Shimano two speed, 30 and 50 size class gear is normally what is used so the fight can be enjoyed.

Trip Details

Fishing charters include tackle, bait, ice, fish cleaning and bagging. You bring: food, drink, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses and a hat. I like to promote catch and release fishing and take pride in putting you on fish whenever possible. You can keep any legal fish and I want you to be able to enjoy a nice dinner. This is not a "meat" fishing charter. I like to specialize in fun, excitement, entertainment, bent rods and most of all, fond memories of your Molokai adventure.

One to four is recommended for serious fishing, as its more comfortable, and provides a more "hands on" interaction.

Deposits

Your charter reservation is confirmed by putting a credit card number on file with me. If you don't want to use a credit card, then a check mailed to me will do. This will confirm your charter date. You may pay with cash or credit card the day of the trip. There is no charge made to your credit card account for your deposit at booking time. If you do choose to pay with your card on the date of fishing, that is fine, just bring the card you want to use, so that I can swipe it in the credit card machine after returning from your trip

Cancellations and No-Shows

All cancellations have to be made no later than 48 hours before the charter date to avoid a $200.00 deposit being charged to your card. If you reschedule your trip there will be no charge for the rebooking. If there is a NO SHOW on your charter day, you will be charged for the rate of the charter that you booked. All of this is necessary because if you don't show up on the date reserved, I could have taken someone else out. There is a minimum of two hours of preparation before each trip to prepare the boat for the next day's trip. Washdown, refueling, ice, tackle prep, all that kind of stuff. I don't like to waste my time.

You will never be charged a cancellation fee if the trip is cancelled due to weather or for any reason on my part, illness, mechanical problems etc. If I do cancel a trip because of weather, I will do my best to reschedule another day of fishing for you if another day is available in the time frame that you have.
