Inshore Fishing Overview
UFO Adventures Fishing trips utilize the fastest fishing vessels in Hawaii. At 30+ kts Cooper V and Mercury are unmatched in their ability to get to more fishing grounds than any other vessel. With Cooper V’s 12-passenger capacity, the net result is more opportunities to find the bite and put dinner on the table. Depending on weather, charter time, and guests ability we can utilize various angling techniques for that once-in-a-lifetime Hawaiian fishing experience.
Fishing locations are at the captain’s discretion and are dependent on the current weather conditions.
