Welcome to Maui Fishing Secrets!
Aloha, My name is Armelio Cabatingan. My boat name is the "Rainbow Runner". I grew up fishing here on Maui with my father and grandparents, who fished for a living. Through out the years I have learned different techniques and secrets of fishing. I have been very successful commercial fishing and in tournaments. In this blog there will be bottom fishing, trolling, crabbing, fishing buoys, baiting, using the green stick, baiting and much more.

We had a triple strike Ono. Only got two. We ended up catching two mahi at the buoy also. No big strikes. We placed 1st in the mahi catagory.

Fishing With Friends..........
June 15, 2012
I got a phone call from my good friend, Michael. He asked me when would be my next fishing trip. He had some friends visiting from the mainland and wanted to go fishing. I usually fish on the weekends, but any excuse to fish during the week is good. We planned on fishing Tuesday. Michael asked what they should bring on the boat, I told him to bring food, drinks and lots of luck, which they did. That day, the water was pretty rough. The winds were 15-25 knots. I was really impressed that Michael, Ryan, Kearstin and Tyler(who is only 10 years old) handled the weather.Tyler would definitely be a North Shore fisherman. Michael and his friends did a wonderful job bringing in all those fish. Fish results: Tyler reeled in the biggest mahi at 17.5 pounds. He also helped reel in the biggest Ono at 24 pounds. We caught, 10 mahi, 3 Ono, 2 Shibi, and 7 Aku. Thanks, Michael, Ryan, Kearstin and Tyler for a fun day of fishing. Catch you on the next trip.
Keep a Tight Line!

Saturday Fishing Trip More Than We Expected.....
February 27, 2012
We invited B.J.’s friends Greg Hutson from Gold River, California and his brother-in-law Bob Buss from Owasso, Oklahoma to join us on our fishing trip to the North Shore of Maui. They had previously fished on the Leeward side of Maui experiencing flat water.
Although we were aware that the winds on the North Shore could be as strong as 15 – 25 knots, resulting in 4-9 foot swells, when we started it was just a slight breeze with nice water. We headed out as the sun was rising over the ocean, a beautiful sight. We put out a few lines and set our course for the 500 fathom ledge. We were admiring our beautiful Island behind us when the wind began to pick up and the swells got bigger and bigger as we continued toward the ledge. Looking west we saw a spectacular double rainbow, forgetting for a second the weather conditions escalating. Most fishermen would be feeling queasy from this surge.
As we got closer to the ledge we got our first hook-up with a nice 22# Mahi-mahi. Our friends experienced their first catch on the North Shore. This catch encouraged all of us to keep going! The weather got worse and uncomfortable but being boat owners themselves our visitors insisted we forge on, which we did. We had a double strike of Ono’s –20# and 15#. At that point we all decided we had enough fish and with the weather continuing to get worse, good judgment prevailed and we headed home, snagging a 25# Spear Fish (really good sashimi).
It was another beautiful exciting day in Paradise fishing with friends.
Good Fishing!
