About Bite Me Sportfishing - Bite Me 6
Fish the Kona coast aboard Bite Me 6 with Bite Me Sportfishing on a private Big Island deep sea fishing charter targeting offshore game fish.
Head out from Honokohau Harbor aboard Bite Me 6, a 41-foot Hatteras reserved entirely for your private group. With no other guests on board, the day is yours to share with family or fishing companions as you set out along the Kona Coast in search of some of Hawaii's most prized game fish.
The harbor sits just north of Kailua-Kona and close to "Grander Alley," one of the area's prime big game fishing grounds. Depending on the day, you may have the chance to reel in blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, spearfish, wahoo or mahi mahi. Voted "Best of West Hawaii" for years, Bite Me Sportfishing's professional captains and crew bring local experience, quality equipment and attentive service to every charter.
