In the Islands Boogie-D found an ocean lover’s paradise and quickly excelled at a wide variety of ocean sports. With countless hours in the water and extensive American Red Cross training, David has become a respected waterman, regarded by his peers as one of the top kayak anglers in the state of Hawaii.
Boogie-D can typically be found on the North Shore of Oahu, fishing, guiding and sailing with his company, Coastal Kayak Tours, www.coastalkayaktours.com. The Island waters David fishes are filled with big pelagics as well as a variety of inshore species. Boogie-D’s favorite targets include ahi, mahi, ono, striped marlin and sail fish as well as grey snapper, giant trevally, amberjack and barracuda. If you want to fish Oahu, he’s the man to talk to. Whether Boogie-D is sailing a Hobie AI or pedaling a Hobie Adventure, he’s usually catching large fish.
