FIRE HATT Sportfishing

Another banner fishing day aboard FIRE HATT today! December fishing at its finest! Five for six on billfish, 0 for one on Mahi Mahi! Rob Dawson and his family from Kamloops, BC all had a fish today. Two Blue Marlin, two Striped Marlin, a Shortbilled Spearfish and one lost Mahi!

Wonderful Kona winter fishing with friends from Ramona California on FIRE HATT. Early today the weather did not look promising but we decided to give it a try anyway. Ed Simon boated a beautiful 30 pound Mahi and Clay Howe released a 200 pound Blue Marlin.

Five for Five! Five lines are bit and five Ono are boarded. Ryan Viers and his family from Hermosa Beach, CA bring in all five fish! Total for the day; seven for nine! After a long trip south of the Island to Pebbly Beach, Ryan suggested putting on the "Fire Hatts" for good luck….you know the rest of the story!

This was the second time this has happened aboard Fire Hatt. First time was with Hank and Jinx Kochan from Florida! Love this time of year!
