About this "hands-on" charter:
I've found that people have a lot more fun on their fishing trip if they actually get to be involved in the fishing process rather than just sitting and waiting and watching. During the day we will most likely be switching fishing styles or bringing in a fish on the troll so all the lines need to come in. It's "all hands on deck" so we can get changed up and get right back to fishing (or catching). I may also ask you to move a rod, grab a lure, hand me a tool or knife, wash some fish blood off the deck and things like that. It's not rocket science. I don't expect that people know everything about Hawaii fishing (I certainly don't) but sometimes things can get hecktic on the deck. Sometimes I fish with just myself and one angler on the boat. So far, no problems. I have a couple 800+ marlins and some 1000+ tigers operating single handed.
