A Christmas Eve to Remember! - A Christmas Eve to remember! I took my family out for a day of Sportfishing while in Kona with Bite Me Sportfishing and Wow did we have a blast!
Captain Brian Harnden and Mate Darin Castoro really know their stuff! we went for the full day trip, left the dock at about 6:30am and by 7:30am my wife was into the first Blue Marlin of her life. What a thrill! Brought it to the boat, and released the 160lb (ish) beauty! But that was just the beginning.
Next up in the chair was our daughter and within the next hour she hooked up with her first Striped Marlin, about 65 pounds. We boated that fish and split the meat with the crew. We ate some last night, fabulous!
After a few more hours of “mowing the lawn” looking for a fish, as luck would have it, the best fish of the day struck! Our son was in the chair and did a great job controlling his first Blue Marlin. We were able to bring that 250lb. beauty to the boat where Darin was able to tag and release it.
All in all, Captain Brian and Mate Darin were terrific, very positive and super professional.
Our family will never forget this adventure and can’t wait to do it again!

11/10 - Best fishing charter yet! Brian and cam are definitely the guys I want to go with again! Saw pilot whales, tons of porpoise and a sea turtle at the end! Not to mention the fish!! Got one beautiful tuna and 2 marlin at the same time but lost one! Definitely worth the full day! Cam, you the man! Thanks for helping get that big fish in

Highly recommend Bite Me Sportfishing! We love Captain Brian, Jason, and Cory! - Highly recommend Bite Me Sportfishing! Captain Brian was excellent as well as his crew Jason and Cory! Brian was super fun and played great music and kept the vibe fun and relaxing while also keeping an eye out for any signs of fish! We got to see pilot whales and a rare but beautiful whale shark! Captain Brian even took the extra time for us to see them up close! Captain Jason was super helpful with giving us instructions and ensuring our safety as well as helping us land a Mahi Mahi and a 84lb Blue Marlin!!! As for Cory, he was so kind and helpful with ensuring we had anything we needed, water, photos, etc. He is such a hard worker and went the extra mile to help us land both our fish and did everything he could to ensure we had a good experience! Thank you to all 3 of them for an awesome time! :)

Great Crew! Comfortable Boat! Awesome time fishing! - About 1 hour into our Half Day Shared Group, Captain Brian got us a double hook. Two Marlin at once. Unfortunately one threw the hook, but I was able to reel in the other. Kalin and Tiger did a great job training beforehand, then coaching this first timer through and we landed a nice young Blue Marlin.
The crew cut and portioned the meat afterwards so we could all take some, with lots left for the crew.
Overall a great day on the Big Island!

Another satisfied customer! - Great time had by all! Tara was a hoot, and an experienced captain.
My Dad, son, and I all had a great time. We each hooked a blue marlin, plus my son caught a yellowtail of some sort (not tuna).
Tara and crew were excellent. Boat was amazing!
We would definitely go again and be sure to book Tara, if possible.

Knowledgable Crew - Fishing Kona is either an on or off affair. We went out with Captain Nate and Lee - highly knowledgable concerning the fisheries and strategy. Company was able to find us a boat on very short notice, enabling us to fulfill a longstanding bucket list item. They knew the best chance for a fish was trolling for Ono about a 1/2 mile out and sure enough we caught a beauty. They provided us a generous portion for two dinners and it was Dee-licious. Of course it is always nice if the fish are hurling themselves into the boat, but the test of a good crew is catching fish when the bite is not hot.
Thanks Nate and Lee!

Amazing - we did it ALL - with ages 8 - 82! - Captain Taylor asked us if we wanted to swim with the dolphins, go whale watching or go fishing - with 14 people, all of whom were family, with ages spanning 8 decades, you can imagine the answer was "Yes!" And he and his mate absolutely delivered on all three counts, including an 80 lb+ fish which Taylor expertly reeled into the boat. Needless to say the entire group was thrilled and we ate WELL on our last night. What a day!

Fishing Trip of a Lifetime - I booked the trip on line through fishbooker and the process was quick and easy. We met the boat, BiteMe4 at the Kona pier and set off for a full day. The morning started slow but our captain Curtis used his skill to but us on fish. Anthony our deckhand was very expierenced and guided us through the entire process. We had a double marlin hookup about 4 hours into the trip. We lost one but the second stayed booked and a 2.5 hour fight began. Anthony really earned his wages and did a great job in coaching us through the fight. At the weigh station the marlin weighed in at 437 lbs. I can reccomend Bite Me sportfishing to anyone who wants a great fishing experience on the big island. They have experienced crews and are very professional.

Captain Taylor *5 stars - Captain Taylor took my entire family out. We snorkeled with the dolphins. We saw a group of whales it was amazing. We then caught a large 5 foot spearfish. The captains stories and hospitality of the crew made it worth every penny. I can not say enough good things!
