Yoji,
The fish are on both sides of the island but, the water is a LOT calmer on the west side. If you want a pleasant boat ride I recommend going to Kona and check out the harbor. There are always plenty of boats that will be willing to take you fishing and it is the sport fishing capitol of the world. The price range from $350.00 a half day to $500.00 a full day and up to what ever the market will bare.
I owned two charter boats there for many years and suggest that you drive over there and start calling the numbers on the dock signs. I would bet that you could get a boat booking for the next day at this time of the year.
I don’t know of anyone who commercially charters on this side of the island.
The Lack
