Hawaii Fishing Report

 
Here in Hawaii we target four main species: Marlin (Blues, Striped, Black, and Spearfish), Tunas (Yellowfin also known as Ahi, Bigeye and Skipjack also known as Aku), Mahimahi (also known as Dolphinfish or Dorado), and Ono (also known as Wahoo). 

All species of fish we target can be caught all year long because our water temperature remains 72-80 degrees all year long (cooler in the winter, warmer in the summer).  Hawaii remains as the only fishery in the world where a Marlin in excess of 1000 pounds has been caught in every calendar month of the year. 

Generally speaking, summer months produce more Yellowfin, Skipjack, Ono, and Blue Marlin. Winter months produce more Striped Marlin and Bigeye tuna, and spring and fall months produce more Mahimahi.

A nice Mahi !

Bottom line is we literally have all of our fish here to some degree 365 days a year, and therefore, Hawaii is a great place to fish for Marlin and large tuna all year long.  We have hot times and cold times for everything, but that is more a result of ocean currents and availability of baitfish coming through on a warm or cold eddie than anything to do with the calendar.  
 
Here's what's been happening recently in Hawaii:

July2010

July is right in the middle of our prime season for Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) and Blue Marlin.  This month we have had a consistent supply of nice blue marlin either caught and released or brought in.  Several of those that were weighed in were a nice 564lb Blue and 597lb Blue.  Among the notable catches was a 500lb Blue Marin on the Kila Kila caught on July 18th.  Smaller Blue Marlin were also reported as being caught and released in the 150 to 200 lb range.  Blue Marlin are around in Hawaiian waters year round, but the summer seems to be the prime time, so expect more nice Blues in the coming months thru at least early September.  Boats have also been reporting nice Ahi catches this month in the 125lb plus range.  Ahi's tend to be around Hawaiian waters in good numbers from mid-June into September.  Ono are also around in good numbers this time of year and can many times be found around the 40 fathom curve.   The weather has been excellent, so it's a great time to go fishing.
