What Happens to the Fish You Catch

Every Kona charter has a fish policy, and it is worth knowing before you go. Here is ours, in Capt. Dave's own words.

One fish, cleaned for you

Our policy is to clean ONE smaller (less than 30 pounds) fish for your personal consumption. We'll clean and bag it for you right there at the boat when we get back from our trip.

How much you take home

The amount of fish you'll take home varies on the size and quantity of fish caught but generally amounts to what you think you'll want to eat while you're here on vacation: about 5 to 10 lbs. of cleaned fish.

The rest of the catch

The remainder of the fish will stay with the boat.

Planning to cook your catch? Ask Capt. Dave how he likes to prepare it.
