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: |
February
2010 February is usually
a good time for Spearfish and later in the month Mahimahi.
Hawaii also gets Blue Marlin and Tuna year round, just more of them in
the summer months. Big Eye Tuna are known to come around in the
winter months, but are still a fairly rare catch, especially large
ones. Capt. Teddy of the Kila Kila proved that theory wrong by
bringing in the largest Big Eye Tuna of the year at 211.5 lbs.
It was a double strike with a 153 lb Big Eye following along with the
big one. That same trip also produced strikes from another nice
Tuna, a Spearfish and a large Blue Marlin. The largest Blue
Marlin to date is a 600.5 Blue caught in January. February so
far has brought Blues in the 150 to 400 lb range (400lb caught on the
Fish Wish). The Mahimahi catch should be picking up as we
near March with the best Mahi fishing in March and April.
Striped Marlin should also pick up for the spring months. More
time on the water increases your chances of catching, allowing more
time to work the good fishing grounds.
