Lahela Sportfishing

Reviews

Had a wonderful time on our fishing trip! Caught a bunch of juvenile tuna, even got a couple keepers that made wonderful poke! Tried our luck further out and hooked a mahi. Definitely recommend these guys to anyone wanting to get out on the water. Also, do yourself a favor and just take the Dramamine 😂

We came late in the season and booked last minute. Cody and the captain were great to get us on lots of juvenile tuna. We knew going into it that we would be unlikely to get into bigger fish. We ended up having a great time. The team was very knowledgeable about fishing, the island and its history, and kept us busy with the fishing. I would definitely go again!

We had an amazing time with Lahela Sportfishing! The fishing was a little slow at first but the crew worked hard and found us 20 tuna!! This was our kids first time deep sea fishing and they made sure that the kids and we were comfortable and had fun!!

This was our first time on a fishing charter and our Captain and Cody made it a memorable experience. They were friendly and we really enjoyed our conversations with them. Our Captain and Cody tried their best to find us fish but unfortunately, we didn't catch anything - I guess that is why they call it fishing and not catching!

Absolutely a fantastic trip! Captain Scott,Cody and Dayton were beyond professional. Very knowledgeable and had great gear! We hooked up on two Marlins and several other species of fish. I highly recommend fishing with the Lahela Crew!! Looking forward to the next trip! Thank you the Smiths!

We had a wonderful time. Scott and Cody were great and we learned a lot about the island and it’s history! The bonus was catching fish.

We had a great time fishing! Crew was great, boat was nice, enjoyed our conversations with Cody while fishing, and we enjoyed a nice fresh-catch fish dinner that evening. Captain Scott got some good pics that he kindly shared with us. We would definitely go fishing with Lahela Sportfishing again !!!

We had an amazing time with Captain Scott and Captain Cody! They took great care of our group, which consisted of both new and experienced fishers. Couldn’t recommend booking with them more strongly!

We had an incredible time with Lahela Sportfishing!! Not only were they amazing but they were the only one in Kauai that could accommodate our large group. Cody was so nice and was great to talk to us about the island. He even pretended to be impressed by the small fish my brother caught. Capitan Scott worked hard the entire trip to get us fish! Would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone!! Thank you!

My husband and I booked a private charter with Cody and Scott. What a fun day! We both caught a Skipjack. That was fun, but the best part of the day was my husband reeling in a 100 pound Yellowfin. I believe Scott said it was the biggest one yet this season (as of June 20th anyway). The guys were so professional, they were on top of the gear, changing things when there was no action. We had the option to keep the fish, and we did. Well we kept half. Scott and Cody processed it for us, kept it frozen, and met up with us before our flight home because we had no place to store it at our hotel. Such a great, memorable, fun day! Thank you both for the amazing memories!!

My son and I went out with Captain Scott and Cody June 29th and had a fantastic time! Cody was a great hand and gave us plenty of island tips to use for the rest of our trip and Captain Scott navigated fairly rough water with precision. Not only that, he helped get our catch processed and packaged for the flight home. I do not hesitate to recommend! Thank you both for a memorable experience!

Such an awesome trip. The crew was educational, helpful, and very friendly. Some of us on the boat got sick and the they were very understanding and helpful. We caught some great fish and the crew was so prepared it was like a well oiled machine. I cant say enough how awesome this was.

Highly recommended. Knowledgeable about the islands and the fish. Guys are passionate about the health of the ocean and the fish that are in them. Caught three different types of fish including Blue Marlin. Would go fishing with those guys again.

We took a 4 hour private charter to introduce our young kids to deep sea fishing and it could not have been a better trip! Captain Scott put us on the fish and EVERYONE caught fish. The trip would not have been the same without the deck hand, Cody! I’ve been doing charter fishing my whole life, and you never really know what you’re going to get with a crew. Cody as attentive, knowledgeable, hardworking, but above all he was very friendly and easy-going and made all right of us feel very comfortable and made the overall trip very pleasurable. Thank you Captain Scott and Cody!

Captain Scott worked the entire trip to find us some fish and that's exactly what happened. I have been on other sportfishing tours and the captain's just tool around trawling. Captain Scott had his binoculars out looking for birds and constantly monitored his equipment. We ended up catching 4; Aku Tuna at the pinnacle of our 6 hour trip. They all hit at the same time and both he and the Deckhand; Cody made sure we pulled them all in. If you ever want to go sportfishing, this is what you want in a Captain. If and when I come back to catch some fish, I will be re-booking with Lahela Sportfishing. Mahalo! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

We had a wonderful sunrise trip with Captain Scott and Cody. They were very knowledgeable about both fishing and their Island home of Kauai. Captain Scott is a true hunter and was actively searching for the signs of fish the entire time. His efforts rewarded us with a couple of Mahi Mahis and a 7 foot long Pacific Blue Marlin. It was a great thrill to reel in that beast of a fish in a ultimate fishing chair. Also note, grilled macomadanut Mahi Mahi is delicious! Ask Captain Scott for more recipes.

An excellent trip - would definitely recommend for anyone seeking a deep sea fishing adventure in Hawaii. This father and son owned and operated charter took care of everything - except the reeling of course - and were a pleasure to book with. And we caught a choke of fish. Mahalo!

Both Captains Scott and Cody were the absolute best. They made my very first experience the most amazing time. Captain Scott found the fish. Captain Cody had great stories in between catching fish. As well as both were a huge help bringing in the fish as at one point had 3 fish on at same time. I can't wait to go out with them again, totally worth it even if you don't catch anything. A BIG HUGE THANK YOU....

Went out on Jan 2 with Lahela sportfishing. Boat, Captain, and deckhand were more than accommodating for a large party with a bunch of kids. Top notch experience on a top notch boat. Thanks guys!

The boat is nice and in good, clean condition. All of the tackle was top quality and well maintained. The mate was hard working and helpful. We caught two nice fish within the first half of the charter. When we got back to the dock, they cleaned and bagged the fish for us and we had fish for days to eat!
