The Marjorie Ann
|
Bottom Fishing Aboard the Marjorie Ann Marjorie Ann is a 25' Farallon Cuddy Cabin fishing boat. She is outfitted for sport and bottom fishing and has been used for these activities privately from Ma'alaea harbor for over fourteen years, and is now available for charter. She has recently been upgraded to be more accommodating to paying guests, with an onboard head, and the latest modern electronics and fishing tackle. Marjorie Ann recently upgraded all of their bottom fishing gear with brand new, matching, solid aluminum, lever drag, AVET reels with MC magnetic cast control (cuts down on bird nests when dropping down).
Bottom fishing can use artificial lures but Marjorie Ann fishing usually uses bait like squid. Bottom Fishing off Maui is done with the boat stopped, sometimes anchored but usually drifting over “spots” where there is known to be concentrations of fish like snapper, jacks, wrasse, goatfish, and many others, in relatively shallow water (100-300 ft. deep). Once Marjorie Ann gets out to the bottom fishing spots, each passenger is given their own rod and instructed on how to use it to drop pieces of bait (the crew is happy to help you bait your hook if you prefer), down to the bottom and each fisherman has a chance to catch their own fish from start to finish; usually averaging at least three or four fish per person. Most of the fish caught are small but the tackle is relative light so its a better match. Plus, if you do hook into a big one on light tackle, you are in for a really fun challenge.
Charters Currently Available --Four hour morning bottom fishing share boat. $139.00 per angler Departing from Ma'alaea harbor at 7:30 AM, we take you straight to the grounds for a chance to hook the big ones, and of course the tasty ones if you are interested in keeping your catch to eat. Bait, tackle, and the personal attention of the experienced crew are all provided. We take no more than six passengers at a time which allows for a personalized trip and plenty of coaching of for beginners. The small number of passengers also allows the opportunity to try a greater variety of fishing styles including the use of live baits when available. We return to Ma'alaea by 11:30 AM. --Private Bottom Fishing or Sport Fishing $699.00 Same as above, but with flexible hours and you get the whole boat to yourself and up to five friends or family members. The 7:30 AM departure is still recommended for the best chance of favorable wind conditions, but feel free to try the afternoon or evening bite if it fits your schedule better. Also, you are welcome to extend the trip at our low hourly rate of $175.00. --Other Custom Charters starting at $175.00 per hour
