The Full Day Sportsman (Extended) Charter is 8 Hrs. of fishing! This allows enough time to check all the buoys in a 40 mile range. This almost guarantees you will catch more fish than anyone! We can also light tackle the buoys for Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Ono, if you choose. The "Cowboy" is a very comfortable 40' Bertram, for you to relax and enjoy the experience...until you're on and adrenaline is flowing! *In addition we will fillet and package your fish and provide complimentary photos/videos of your experience.

We fish for blue marlin, stripe marlin, spearfish, mahi mahi, ono and tuna year round off the Big Island of Hawaii. Whether its trolling or live baiting, we will work hard and try different techniques to catch you fish. We offer 1/2, 3/4, full day and last minute fishing trips. We have great rates and a proven catch record and you can see this in our daily fish report. At the end of the day, we’ll FILLET the fish you catch for no charge. You can take the fish back to your vacation rental to enjoy or Captain Chucks family restaurant will cook your catch in downtown Kona. Captain Chuck Wigzell has been fishing in Kona for over 28 years and owns and operates the very large, clean and comfortable 40' Hooked Up.

The waters off the Kona coast provide world class fishing year round. We can put you on the fish to try and land a trophy fish of a lifetime or we can simply get you freshly caught dinner. You tell us your target species of marlin, swordfish, mahi, ono, ahi, skipjack and we'll do our best to get you hooked up. If it's dinner you want, we'll clean your fish and tell you where to go in town to have it grilled up for you at one of the local restaurants or you can simply take it back home with you.
