There are several fishing tournaments in Kona Hawaii year round with the majority of the fishing tournaments in the summer months. The entry fees range from $100 to $5,000. In addition, you can also enter in the “daily optional categories.” You do not have to be a professional or a skilled fisherman to enter any of these tournaments. As a matter of fact, the majority of our ‘tournament anglers’ have either fished with us before on a charter or have a trip already booked with us and decided to enter the tournament that is running while they are on vacation in Kona.
