Hawaii Fishing Report

 
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 2012

February is generally a good time for spearfish and striped marlin but we also get blue marlin, ahi, mahimahi and ono as well.  We've already started off the new year in Hawaii with a grander, 1,040.5lb blue marlin on January 7th, so that is the fish to beat so far.  Striped marlin and spearfish have also been reported with the largest striped marlin at 95.5lbs.  The Ahi to beat so far this year is a nice 217 lb Ahi caught on January 5th.  The year has started off great with some nice best of the year catches on the board to beat.  Quite a few boats reported blue marlin and striped marlin catch and releases so the marlin are out there.  The weather has been cooperating as well, so it's a great time to leave the mainland winter behind and do some warm weather fishing in Hawaii!
