About The Captain
I have been fishing my entire life. Fishing in Kona, Hawaii is my passion, my work, and my ultimate rush. I have been fishing in Kona since 1986. My dad, Jim Cherry, started the Cherry Pit Sport fishing business and growing up I learned the ropes from him. After he retired I took over the Cherry Pit full time. I have been fishing and enjoying Kona waters for over twenty years. I use tried and true methods and also incorporate my own style and lures. In my spare time I develop and craft my own fishing lures that have been very successful in the water. As a captain, I try to reflect my love for sport fishing on each charter. With many spectacular catches, I have experience and skill to land every big game fish. The Big Island has some of the best fishing in the world and I it enjoy every day. With twenty years experience and the tact and care I ensure on a charter, fishing on the Cherry Pit is always an experience of knowledge, excitement and fun.
