A Maui shore fishing experience...


Robin W. from Ontario, Canada recently shared his
Maui shore fishing experience:

Hi Mike,

Thanks for all the info!! I took your advice and got some squid while I was there.  I bought a new rod/reel combo from Walmart and went fishing one morning in Maalaea


Robin's Maui shorefishing location in a larger Google map

I found a rocky outcropping and threw the squid leftovers out.  Threw my line in and within a minute I hooked into something huge. As I continually increased the tension, it just kept taking more line.
Finally after about 20 minutes it broke my line (when I had barely anything left on the reel).  Didn't see it jump or anything, but it was still an awesome experience.

My friend and I also really enjoyed the fishing charter on the Action boat.  We got 8 Mahi Mahi between 6 of us on the boat.  The captain gave us the filets from one of the Mahi Mahi and they were amazing on the BBQ.  I do think next time, I'll try and book a private charter so we can hopefully
land more ourselves.

Thanks again for the advice!!

Mahalo!
Robin W.
