FishingBookerReviews 647

I was on family vacation trying to find a guide for the one day my son and I could go out. I came across FishingBooker. It made research fast and easy. Booking and comuncating with the Capt was easy. My first trip was canceled do to weather and it helped me quickly locate a second guide with availability two days later when weather was better. I used it again to locate a small charter for Tautog in Rhode Island. Both trips were with friendly knowledgeable Capt.

We originally booked a whole day on "Reel Time"

However she was experiencing mechanical maintenance issues and Ohana Sport fishing called us with the bad news that she wasn't going to be ready for our trip. They then offered to upgrade our trip to their 74' Striker.

This was a huge upgrade, I mean a hot tub on a fishing boat!

The captain was awesome as was the first mate, both very knowledgeable and friendly. We even had a stewardess! Nicole kept the coffee coming and was a charming young woman. She was always checking to see how we were doing. It was a slow day fishing but we enjoyed good weather and conversation with ourselves and the crew.

After about 6 hours of fishing and only having a couple of little bites, we needed to head back to the harbor. We decided to leave the lures in the water just a little longer as we pointed the boat back to Oahu.

Then it happened!

A large marlin hit and hit hard, stripping 600-700 yards off the reel while we got the rest of the gear out of the water. After over 90 minutes of repeatedly bringing her to the stern we finally boated a good sized female Blue Marlin. Not a record breaker by any means, but when we returned to the dock we weighed her in at 437 pounds.

Bucket list item checked off!

This place is good to find a guide, most important thing is too get ahold of the captain, you can do this on this site! Another competitor you just get someone that may just be AI and disappear if you ever have problems, they have people you can get in touch with here, atleast they will get you guides to get in contact with not answering say I want to get Mahi and say yeah all these guides do, they do say that but they say ask the captain, that is who really knows what is going on. Site is good showing what is included, you can check what is biting however that isn't accurate but its something good to look at or it shows targeted species, but just get ahold of lots of captains see who responds the correct way to your questions, half of then never respond, which is horrible. They are too good to take your money, which the site has to do something about that, have captains get like a email like I got for this review several times to give a review, make the captain respond to your questions. Prices compared to another is cheaper, think they do match? Not sure but booking again soon for another trip with same guide I had, he was incredible. So the most important thing is contacting the captain, you can do that here, and again get ahold of many as possible, half will not respond at all, another half will give you a vague answer then a small percentage will give you answer you want, for me I had to contact 50 and narrowed it down to 6, then to 2, then it was easy to go to one with what was included in the trip. I have booked with this one and the competition you have good and bad guides so learn from the bad, think most of them are on both sites, don't allow anyone to get ahold of the captain for you, they do not do this here, you can ask they read on a few and give you the guides, they pick them for what you are asking but say ask the captain, not sure why another doesn't allow this until you pay, sounds very much a scam

Fishing Booker sent transportation to our hotel to pick us up for the day. Transportation was on time. We got to the dock. The Captain and first mate were ready for us. The boat was on the smaller size, so we felt the waves more, but boy did we catch fish: yellow-fin tuna. There were only three of us but the crew set up 6 poles for us. We were catching fish on at least four of them. At times, we had two fish on two different lines at the same time. The crew had food, water, and beer for us. We had a blast. Use Fishing Booker for your next trip. You will not be disappointed.

Booked online from home using Fishing Booker phone app!
Highly recommended because you can see many possible boats and captains. While not the cheapest trip by any means available, you get what you pay for.
We had great bait fish, 2 great deck handed and a skilled captain. And fishing license and fees are included.
Check them out for serious deep sea fishing.
Easy to book and communicate directly with Captain.
Great messaging thru their app 'Fishing Booker'.
