Well we got a bit behind in our fishing report postings, so we apologize for missing several months. It’s a new year so we will try to keep up with them this year. So far in 2020 we’ve had some nice Blue Marlin caught already. Early in the year is usually good for Striped Marlin and boats have brought in some Stripies, but some large Blues have been caught already as well. In early February Magic caught 2 Blues on one trip, one 500+lbs! Just the day before the double marlin catch, Magic had a day with no bites, but it turned out someone on the boat brought undisclosed bananas which is bad luck in Hawaiian waters. Lesson learned, read your confirmation, listen to the skipper when he asks about bananas and don’t bring bananas on your trip! You may not be a believer, but why take the chance with bananas on the boat! February should bring more Striped Marlin and the Mahimahi bite should pick up as we get into March.
For the bass fishing on Kauai, Tom has had some good small mouth bass action lately. The Peacock Bass don’t really start biting until into the spring and summer, so for now it’s small mouth.
It’s much warmer in Hawaii than on the mainland right now so it’s a great time to escape winter and come fishing in Hawaii!
