Fishing off Maui, Hawaii: info on maui fishing, sportfishing and shore casting Fishing on Maui Hawaii Information about Maui fishing, sportfishing, and shore fishing in Hawaii. If you don't want to view with frames, visit our alternate site: http://www.mauifishing.com . Here's my site map for your convenience: WELCOME PAGE Frequently asked questions about Maui fishing A partial list of Maui fishing charter companies NOTE: I recommend only Maui's best sportfishing operators. These are the boats which fish every day, keep their equipment in good shape, and employ skilled and experienced crew. DESPERADO SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui HINATEA SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui (highly recommended) LUCKEY STRIKE II Lahaina Maui PIPER CHARTERS Maalaea Maui RASCAL CHARTERS Maalaea Maui (highly recommended) START ME UP SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui (highly recommended) STRIKEZONE SPORT FISHING Maalaea, Maui (bottom fishing too) KANOA Lahaina Maui (light tackle, great with kids) About the author of this site: Aloha! My name is Mike Crawford. I've been fishing in Maui waters since the late 60's -- professionally for over 25 years. I don't operate my own sportfishing charter business anymore. Instead I rely on my experience to personally direct Maui visitors to the fishing operator which best fits their needs. At Fish Maui.com you'll find thorough, honest information about the Maui sport fishing industry. When you arrive on Maui, you're gonna find yourself BOMBARDED by activities agents -- 90% of whom know abolutely NOTHING about fishing. Most are profit driven, and will do their damndest to book you on a charter boat which pays the highest commission, regardless of the quality of the trip. I run FishMaui.com because I REALLY LOVE fishing. If you email me, you WILL receive a personal response in return, typically within a few hours. No canned, impersonal messages, no hype. Simply answers to your questions about fishing on Maui. So for now, surf the site, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me at home at 877-889-7035.

If you are already a registered Content Tycoon user: Hawaii (The big Island) - A City Guide Author: Nivedita Balamurugan Introduction There's no place on earth quite like this handful of sun-drenched, mid-Pacific islands. The Hawaii of South Seas literature and Hollywood films really does exist. Here one will find palm-fringed blue lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls, wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and soaring volcanoes. And those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands caressed by endless surf - a perfect place for spending holidays. History After a series of battles that ended in 1795 and peaceful cession of the island of Kauai in 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler who would become known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled over the kingdom until 1872. One of the most important events during those years was the suppression of the Hawaii Catholic Church. The Newlands Resolution was passed on July 7, 1898, formally annexing Hawaii as a United States territory. In 1900, it was granted self-governance and retained Iolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaii to vote on accepting the statehood bill. After statehood, Hawaii quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. Place of interest It will not be a small list if anyone tries to make a list of all tourist attractions. The partial list should be look like this: "Akaka Falls, "Captain Dan McSweeney's Year-Round Whale-Watching Adventures "Captain Zodiac, "Ellison S. Onizuka Space Center, "Fair Wind Snorkeling and Diving Adventures, "Hapuna Golf Course, "Mauna Lani Frances I'i Brown Championship Courses, "Pololu Valley Lookout, "Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, "World Botanical Garden. Museums & Art Galleries Some of the major museums are "East Hawaii Cultural Center "Hulihee Palace Museum "Jaggar Museum "Kamuela Museum "Kona Historical Society "Lyman House Memorial Museum "Mokupapapa: Discovery Center For Hawaii's Remote Coral Reefs "Pacific Tsunami Museum "Parker Ranch Museum are some of the museums in Big Island.

Alii Gardens Marketplace, Long Ears Coffee Company, Kuaiwi Farm, Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation, Akatsuka Orchid Gardens, Anthuriums Of Hawaii, Hawaii Greenhouse Inc., Panaewa Hawaiian Homelands Farmers Market, Volcano Farmers Market are some of the famous marketplaces. Besides these market places shopping malls and individual shops are there in Hawaii Big Island. Hilo Hattie - The Store of Hawaii, Hilo Shopping Center, Keauhou Shopping Center, King's Shops, Kona Coast Shopping Center, Lanihau Center are some shopping centers in Hawaii Big Island. Food & Drink So many restaurants, so little time for a traveler when it comes the time to wine and dine in Big Island.

Shaka Restaurant, Anthony's Bistro & Bar, Charley's Bar & Grill, Grand Palace, Ting Hao, Bamboo Restaurant, Hualalai Grille By Alan Wong, Merriman's, Aloha Angel Café, Big Island Grill are some of the great places for wine and dine.
