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: |
December
2009 December is usually
a mix of species. It's still a pretty decent
time for Mahimahi's and boats have still been reporting multiple mahi
catches. We have had some Blue Marlin this month, but the blues
are generally caught in lower numbers this time of year. The
blue marlin are still big, we just don't catch as many in the winter
months. The largest Marlin so far this year is still a monster 1,064lb caught on
June 5th on the Monkey Biz II with Capt. Chip Van Mols. The boats are still catching some
Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) and Ono (Wahoo) as well, but not as many as in the summer. The largest Ahi to date
is still the huge 233.5lb brought in on the
Kila Kila on June 29th. Winter usually brings Big Eye Tuna and
then Spearfish to the mix by January. A good way to increase your odds of catching
is to do a full day trip if you can. A full day trip gives the
skipper more time to work various fishing spots during the day.
