MAGIC
This vessel is simply the queen of the Kewalo fleet. At 50 feet and well equipped, this incredibly sea-worthy, air conditioned Pacifica is what most people think of when picturing themselves fishing in Hawaii. The boat and gear are in top notch condition, and Captain Russell Tanaka is one of the hardest working anglers we’ve met. Russell leaves early and stays out late, and he carries bait for the times when situations dictate. He personally gets involved in the washdown and necessary repairs of the boat, and knows every inch of the boat as a result.Magic doesn’t offer sunset cruises, whale watch trips, overnighters, or spend time going for smaller fish. Russell feels his expertise is in the area of Hawaiian Big Game fishing, and this is what he does on a day in, day out basis. Smaller fish can be caught anywhere in Hawaii, so Russell feels if he goes for the big ones and comes up short by catching a few smaller ones, he’s still done his job.
So, if you’re looking for a boat ride with some nice scenery and hors d'oeuvres, hit the back button on your browser. However, if you are looking for a hard-working angler who will bust his tail catching you fish and a large, comfortable, fish-catching boat, charter the Magic for a day or two. You will not be disappointed.
| "Thank you very much for getting us on
the Magic! Russell was the most serious and dedicated charter captain I have ever
fished with. He was constantly using the binoculars, monitoring the lines, checking
with other charter captains, studying the waves, currents, birds and their flight
patterns, etc., etc. etc.. When the other boats came back, he stayed out and we
caught a 152 lb. Tuna, as well as hooking a Marlin and three Mahi Mahi....." Email comments from Terry of Oregon who chartered Magic in October 1999 |
