Took my son on a an early morning fishing tour and we had an amazing time! weather was perfect and Les was a great teacher! he taught my son how to bait his hook, cast his line and the proper ways to reel in the fish. he taught him so well, that he ended up catching five fish and the smile on his face was priceless! We would definitely recommend booking a tour and will use their services again on our next trip to Maui! read more

808 fishing tale - Fishing - Fishing Near Me

V is a very nice guy, seems like he knows a lot about the area, ocean, etc. My 3 kids (ages 17, 25, 13) have gone fishing multiple times in rivers, lakes, deep sea but not never shore fishing, thought it would be a good experience. My low rating is due to our overall fishing experience. It felt like our lines got stuck in the rocks consistently and kaanapali beach didn't seem to be the greatest place for fishing, especially with all the people walking and swimming near that area. We caught one tiny fish in about 3 hours. Again, V is very knowledgeable and seems like a great guy but the fishing experience was not great. I wouldn't recommend it for fishing . read more

I wanted to take my kids here but I won't on principle. Their website says $100 for kids between 5 and 12. However, the manager quoted $146 each over the phone (a 50% markup). Please honor your posted price (they refused to) or update your website. read more

Uncle V hosted us for 3 days of fishing and we had so much fun! My significant other loves to fish and is visually impaired. I have no clue what to do when it comes to fishing. Uncle V set him up and it was so much fun! He taught us the way of fishing...respecting the island and not taking too much fish. He is really patient and helpful and funny! Will definitely be back the next time we come to Maui. read more

I liked hanging out with V so much, I booked him twice during our one week stay at Maui. Not only does he share with you vast knowledge of Hawaiian fishing and his secret spots, but he treats you like family and he shares the local Hawaiian culture. He gives you a real feel of how the fish got their names, how the local eat the fish, the unspoken rules of Hawaiian fishing, and how to respect the beach and the locals. Together with my girlfriend, we caught about 20+ fish total, including 10+ humuhumunukunukuapuaas and a Popia. I'm recommending V to all my family and friends fasho! read more

Had a fantastic time fishing this am! Very much appreciated V had everything arranged for us and took the time to teach me how to fish.

This is a great group if you want to go fishing at all when you are in Ka' anapali Beach. They came out to our beach and gave my son a private fishing lesson and their prices were amazing. They were extremely patient, caring, and knowledgeable. They definitely are much more than a business, and it shows read more

Definitely not worth the money we paid!! This was our first trip to Maui. We were looking forward to a fishing trip and this one was very disappointing. read more

I had so much fun with Les. He taught me how to properly fish from the shore and how to tie specific knots. Truly recommend fishing with him. You won't regret it. You also get to learn the way of life here, as he was born and raised on this island read more

I had a fantastic time fishing with V. His enthusiasm was great and I had an awesome time learning the history and how to respectfully fish the Maui shoreline. We didn't have a lot of luck when we went out with V, but that didn't diminish the fun we had. 808 Fishing Tales is a great option if you're staying in Kaanapali and want to support a local company. Thanks V and 808 Fishing Tales. read more

Amazing morning fishing! Uncle V was very knowledgeable and taught us about Hawaiian culture and respect for the fish. Great location-caught about 9 different varieties. Highly recommend --great for kids!! read more

My dad and I went out with Uncle V for some "holo holo". We had a great time listening to his stories and his tips. We got a few nibbles and only caught one humu, but still had a great time. We took what we learned and set out on our own during our vacation and were able to catch several fish. Uncle V gives you fantastic background and tips to set out on your own. Give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish he will eat for life. read more

We loved our time shore fishing with V! When we arrived, he had everything set up for us already, including chairs (under shade), sunscreen, water and drinks, snacks, the poles, etc. Throughout our time, it was obvious that he had a genuine love, passion, and respect for the ocean life and the local culture. We caught a lot of fish in the two times we booked with him. We didn't even sit down the because the fish kept biting! He was very attentive to baiting the hooks for us and also helped us with technique and how to look for the fish. This was the highlight of the trip for us and we would come back just for this again! Mahalo V! read more

My dad and I went fishing with V and we had an awesome time. He's so pleasant and easy to talk to and we really enjoyed his company.

We spent 3 amazing hours reef fishing with 808 Fishing Tale and their guides V and Jah. They were incredibly knowledgeable and taught us much more than I could have expected about reef fishing in Hawaii. They had everything set up and ready to go when we met them and all the equipment worked perfectly. They showed us the different methods to reef fish and had all three of us landing fish in no time. It was my daughters first time fishing and she loved it and learned a lot. It was an experience she will never forget. If you get the opportunity I highly recommend them. It was just what we were looking for and V and Jah were the best. read more

Had a blast with Uncle V, i would recommend it to anyone who likes fishing ! also found out he does surf lessons !!

Amazing experience, I learned so much! Great first reef fishing ever. I caught crazy looking fish that are no way close to a bass.

I took my grandson to Maui and wanted him to have a time he wouldn't forget. Luckily we ran into "V" on the beach in front of our condo. My grandson would rather fish than eat so I scheduled a time for him to fish with "V". I can see that "V" really enjoys what he does! He came with chairs and an umbrella for "Grandma", drinks and granola bars for snacks. He spent a lot of time explaining things like respecting the beach and how to fish on the reef. My grandson fishes in Washington but found out reef fishing is different. Once "V" showed him what to do he caught 4 fish...so exciting for all of us!! I would highly recommend 808FISHINGTALE if you are on Maui and anywhere close to Lahaina! Mahalo "V".. you made Noah's day!! read more

808 fishing tale - Fishing Near Me

My entire experience with 808 Fishing Tale has created memories of kindness, care, community and loving responsibility to the environment I will treasure. The office helped when I got turned around and made linking up stress free. V's spot was easy to get to and there were just a few other people around, most just enjoying a quiet stroll on the sand. And let me tell you about V! Guide, tutor, care-taker- he showed through his actions wisdom and integrity. One of the fish we caught was undersized and we took a moment to express gratitude and learn about him and his history before releasing him. There was absolutely no question or hesitation about doing the right thing. V taught how to pay respect to the ocean: it is not just "taking" "consuming", it is also "malama" (to take care). V shared traditions that allowed me to feel connected with Maui in a personal way. V emphasized caring for others as we kept watch on little ones playing down the beach or gave tips to other fishermen or connected with friends passing by. V seems to know everyone on the beach! I did not expect to feel so welcomed. He evn shared a quiet place to view sea turtles. Mahalo,V. read more

V Man is awesome with kids and adults. He was great with my 6yr old and caught some fish. I had a surfing lesson with him too and he was great teacher. He's a fun and friendly guy. Great experience. I am definitely going to give him a call on our next family trip to Maui. read more

My son has been wanting to learn how to fish for awhile and our concierge told us about 808 fishing tale. I'm so glad they did because V was so great for my son's first fishing lesson. They caught 3 fish (one almost the size of my son) and it was definitely the highlight of our day. I'd highly recommend V if you're interested in fishing and he's also excellent with kids. Mahalo! read more

Extremely friendly and patient. Taught us a lot about local fishing and culture and gave great customer service. Gave us snacks and drinks, and we caught fish! read more

We have a 10 year old and a 13 year old boy. Our 13 year old loves to fish, but our 10 yr old gets boat sick. We were unsure about fishing from the shore, but were pleasantly surprised about how fun it was and how many fish we caught. V took us out and provide all the equipment and wonderful knowledge. He was great with kids. We did a 3 hr fishing excursion and caught about 6-8 fish. We all loved it and said we would do it again. In addition to it being a wonderful activity it was very reasonably price. This is hard to find on Maui. read more

Uncle V was so awesome!!! My son went fishing with him and uncle V was so patient and really taught him how to respect the ocean, Beach, and fish.. he had the time of his life and uncle v was the best son and baby! We will visit him everytime we are in Hawaii read more

Our family had the best time with V! It was sprinkling but it didn't matter. V set up a shelter. He was always prepared with more bait when the fish ate off our lines. He was so good to our kids. Even when our time was up he stayed longer so that my son could catch and reel in his first fish!! We wound up catching and releasing 5 in about two and half hours. The kids learned to reel and throw out. We really had a blast! I highly recommend this for young kids because it's short enough to maintain their attention, they stay on land and can play in the water and sand and V provides snacks and drinks. read more

What a great experience V was the man. Very educational on the culture of fishing on the island. Put me on some beautiful fish. One fish was a ten to fifteen min fight. Anyone can fish off a boat. V puts you on fish from the surf. Great day. Highly recommended!!! read more

I took my son for this and we both absolutely loved every minute of it! Uncle V was very knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely be coming back and will recommend to anyone who loves to fish! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my shore fishing trip led by Vincente, and I highly recommend it. I had never fished before. I was his first customer after the COVID shutdown, so I had a personally fishing lesson from Vincente for 3 hours! We met on a beach in the Kanapaali area. He takes great care to emphasize safety. He combines fishing advice with Hawaiian traditions and ecological sustainability. The most important Hawaiian tradition I learned was: the f**h can hear you, so never talk directly about the f**h :) I caught and released 4 fish, which was 4 more than I was expecting to catch on my first time fishing :) Vincente was a wonderful host and teacher, and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Also, the price was much more reasonable than comparable shore fishing trips I researched. In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much, that afterwards I went to the nearby Times supermarket and bought fishing gear to use for the rest of my trip, and to take home with me. read more
