January has been surprisingly good for Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) . Ahi are usually around more in the summer months, but boats have been reporting Ahi in the 70-150 lb range lately. There have also been a good amount of Otado which is the name for Aku (Skipjack Tuna) over 20 lbs. We have also had some nice Ono (Wahoo) reported as well. Photo above is of some nice Ahi caught on Emma Nalani on Kauai. Tourism has been slower since the holidays so the boats are not getting out as much right now, but catching some nice fish when they do. On Kauai, freshwater guide Tom has been catching papio, sea pearch and small mouth bass. The large mouth bass have just started moving to the shallows the later part of January. Storms and cold on the mainland so it’s a great time to come over for some warm weather and fishing in Hawaii.
