Fishing in Maui

The family will be vacationing in Maui next week, staying at the Westin Kaanapali. I need some advice and suggestions on where to fish, either on the beach or on a pier? What sort of rod/reel and tackle do I need to use? Also would like to charter a fishing trip. Any recommendations? Thanks.

 

My buddy works for a charter. They are based in lahaina you should check them out. Their boat is called Start Me Up. They were just in the news for 2 of the fish they caught.
