One of THE things on Max’s list since we’ve been on Maui is to go fishing. He didn’t quite get the idea of sport fishing (the big poles, the boat dragging the lines with very little casting) until Saturday.

We all got up early so the boys could be at their 5:45 a.m. check-in. Mara went back to sleep after fixing Max’s breakfast (is that awesome or what?), and the rest of us headed off to the Lahaina wharf.

I can’t do the story complete justice since I wasn’t there, but I’ll give it a shot and hope that the pics can fill in the gaps. I’m sure Mike will have thoughts to add, too.

The sport fishing cruise with Start Me Up Sportfishing was a shared voyage with a total of 6 people on board. There was another father-son team on board; that boy was more Mara’s age. It was that dad that landed the only catch of the cruise – a 43 lb. ono. There were also some dolphins that swam along side at times too.

All those things combined with some cloud cover that kept the morning temps more moderate made for the perfect trip out. Max said it was his best fishing trip ever!

Aloha!
