The last time I was in Hawaii, when I was in Maui, I just hopped in a cab and went to docks. From there I hooked up with a boat that had a few guy going out, met one guy from Victoria. It seems at the time it only cost me a few hundred or maybe even a hundred dollars.
Anyways, I lucked out, got a skipper that had actually been a guide in Alaska before hitting Hawaii, loved it so much he stayed and bought his own vessel. He fished hard for us and we stayed out almost all day. We caught many Mahi Mahi and Small tuna and I even had a Blue Marlin on for all of 6 or so seconds. Just long enough for it to grab the lure and jump and throw that lure. The blue water is out of this world and I can't wait to do it again sometime.
