From the pre-dawn school-like lineup to the 'we better get back now' final line, the experience was one of boredom. Our boat housed 'two captains' and one of their wives (just a free ride-a-long) besides the 5 of us supposedly fishing for the ever-elusive 'anything in the water'. The crew stayed up on the captains deck, except for occasionally resetting... more

Used the services of Capt Mike, www.mauifish.com for screening and selection of a boat to fish from during our stay in Maui, Hawaii. We wanted a boat that we could keep as much fish as we wanted and we wanted to fish for Mahi Mahi, Ahi or Ono. Capt Mike hooked us up with the boat Action, one of Start... more

I signed up for a full day share boat with the Start Me Up fishing. The 9 hour trip cost around $200. Start Me Up put me on the 35 foot Blackfin "Action". The boat was clean, fast, and rigged for serious offshore fishing. The Captain, Captain Patrick, takes your safety, fishing, and bringing home the fish seriously. He said... more

We took a 9 hour charter on the Action out of Lahaina and had the best day of fishing anyone could ask for. The crew, Captain Patrick and deckhand Brandon were friendly and knew the waters well. We started out of the harbor at 3:30 and had a perfect day for fishing. No marlin, but we got three nice mahi... more

Our boat circled around for 4 hours in the same spot and not one bite. The tour before us....same thing. You can chalk it up to bad luck or a bad fishing day, but the boat next to us came back with tons of fish. Both the Captain and deckhand were nice people, but both have only been working with... more

We just got back from a 6 hour fishing trip with this group. The bad news is we caught no fish...no bumps , no bites, no nothing. Apparently the fishing has been horribly slow the last 4 days here. The captain radioed everyone he knew fishing at the same time and only one fish had been caught. The good news... more

My dad and I chartered Start Me Up La Dat with Captain Tim and mate "Deli"....an apprentice mate named Mark was also on board....we had an extremely rare day of fishing catching a 700, a 551 and a 275 pound marlin...flying three Marlin flags into Lahaina was the best!!! more

I went out on an all day sportfishing trip on Start Me Up charter's ACTION. I enjoyed the whole trip because the crew made you feel like they had known you for years. The fishing was excellent too! I caught a 35 pound Mahi Mahi and so did 3 other guys. Then I had the opportunity to watch the other... more
