Just got back from Kauai - big time rain this week. We have a timeshare over in Princeville and this is usually my non-fishing trip to build up a big stash of good-will points for the rest of the year
I chartered with Captain Don's a couple of year ago. Cool guy based in Nawiliwili harbor. Just a short hop to deep water and great fishing. Big swells during the winter months. I chartered in April and there were plenty of Mahi Mahi to 20lb, Skipjacks and Ono. They nailed a baby (150lb) blue marlin the previous week. I also tried fly casting from shore but the big surf made it impossible to get near the best spots on the reef. Hooked up a bunch of trumpet fish and all sorts of colorful critters.
There is a great general guide book "Kauai Revealed" by Andrew Doughty and Harriett Friedman (Wizard publications). Its got aerial pics of all the beaches/inshore reefs and good directions etc. You can see the likely spots to wet a line.
