Live Bait Sport Fishing is a family-owned fishing charter business located in the Waiʻanae Boat Harbor on the west side of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Established in 1985, it has nearly 40 years of experience providing deep sea fishing excursions. The company benefits from its strategic location on the Waiʻanae Coast, which offers closer access to prime big game fishing grounds compared to Honolulu-based charters. This area is known for attracting large pelagic fish such as Ahi (Tuna), Mahimahi (Dorado), Ono (Wahoo), and the trophy 1,000+ pound Aʻu (Marlin). Combining ancient Hawaiian fishing traditions with modern techniques, the charter is recognized as one of the best on Oʻahu. The charters cater to anglers of all skill levels, offering full, three-quarter, and half-day trips aboard a well-equipped boat designed for serious fishing. Guests can expect to fish for a variety of species including Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, and Amberjack, with opportunities to see dolphins and whales during the trip. The crew emphasizes safety, comfort, and enjoyment, providing light to heavy tackle options and live bait to enhance the fishing experience. Additionally, the company offers trophy mounting services to commemorate notable catches, making the adventure memorable for both beginners and experienced anglers.
