About Bite Me Sportfishing - Bite Me 4
Head out from Honokohau Harbor aboard Bite Me 4, a 38 ft Hatteras built for offshore fishing along the Kona Coast. Once the lines are set, the day is all about watching the spread, waiting for the strike and being ready when blue marlin, ahi, spearfish or mahi-mahi show up.
The crew fishes with Penn International, Shimano and Accurate tackle, and the boat includes a full-size fighting chair for bigger fish. First-time anglers can get plenty of help from the crew, while experienced fishermen can settle into the kind of blue-water day Kona is known for.
You can book Bite Me 4 as a shared or private charter for up to six guests, making it easy to choose between meeting other anglers or keeping the boat to your own group.
