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: |
April/May
2008 Spring is
here and so are the Mahimahi's. If you can find a cargo net or a
nice debris pile with Mahi under it you can bring in a bunch! We
have had reports of some boats bringing in over 20 Mahi's in one
trip. Sportfish Hawaii's Mike, Kathy and Jake House had a great
day with friends on the Wild Bunch on April 2nd, bringing in 6 nice
Mahi's and losing one because we got greedy and tried to bait it's
followers! Jake House, 10 years old, brought in a nice 29lb
Mahi. We have also seen some really nice Blue Marlin
lately. See the Kona boat Kila
Kila for a nice photo of an est. 500lb Blue that was caught and
released by a Sportfish Hawaii angler as well as a 40lb Striped
Marlin. We also have a report of a huge 1241lb Blue Marlin being
caught not far outside the harbor in Kona on March 26th! The
Mahi's should be around in good numbers at least through early May with
the Ono coming around more in May and then the Yellowfin Tuna and Blue
Marlin increasing in June.
