Kona Hawaii fishing report
Capt. Jeff/HI
The Stripped Marlin and Shortnose Spearfish bite as been phenomenal the past
3 weeks. If you’re a light tackle enthusiast, Kona is the place to be. The
Striped Marlin are running between 20 and 100 Lbs. and the Spearfish are
running between 20 and 50 Lbs. Almost every boat going out is getting some
kind of action from these guys. A word of caution though. The big Blue
Marlin are here too. 1 or 2 showing up per day.
The Mahi Mahi bite is still going on but not as frequent of a catch as it
was last month. The Otado bite has slowed down also. Ono (Wahoo) catches
are starting to show up with more frequency even though this is typically
the slowest part of the season for them. This is in direct contrast to the
Bigeye tuna catches that should be a common catch for this time of year but
hardly any have been coming in.
Bottom fishing has been a little slower than it should be for this time of
year but it’s still the only way to guarantee some fighting action. 15 to
30 Lb. Amberjack on spinning tackle is lots of fun.
Aloha,
