My family and I had another lovely visit to the BI in June. During our stay in a rental in HPP, we tried fishing from the cliffs (an art form we never mastered!). We also tried deep-sea fishing off Kona but are curious about fishing from the Hilo side, since we are likely to end up there after retirement. How is the fishing off the east side and what is the minimum size boat you think we need in those waters? It looks fairly treacherous but we don't know how far you have to venture off the coast to catch some good eating fish like Ono and Ahi. Thanks for any advice and input!
