About Inshore Fishing in Port Allen
Port Allen, Hawaii offers some of the finest inshore fishing on the Gulf Coast. Port Allen on Kauai's south shore is the Garden Isle's primary charter fishing base, with quick access to productive offshore waters and the dramatic Na Pali Coast. Blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, ono, and giant trevally are caught year-round in waters that see far less fishing pressure than Oahu or Kona. The stunning backdrop of Kauai's lush mountains adds to every trip. The inshore waters here — calm bays, estuaries, grass flats, and mangrove-lined shorelines — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.
