Kona Hawaii fishing report - April wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (4/29/2008)
[Kona] Mid size fish are plentiful right now. Spearfish, mahi mahi and ono are the most common fish being caught. There’s also plenty of shibi (small yellowfin tuna) in the 5 to 20 lb. range and Skipjack tuna in the 5 to 15 lb. range. I caught some shibi trolling in the deep yesterday and filleted them for my customers. It was saddening to see what they were feeding on. They’re stomachs were stuffed with 4” to 5” baby spearfish! False killer whales were also in the area feeding on the shibi. It’s a tough life cycle out there.

[Kona] Kona Hawaii fishing report - March wrap-up . March isn`t considered a good month for blue marlin but one thing about these animals is that they will group somewhere. Even in the off-season we can get a decent run of blue marlin and that happened this month. Not only are we getting a fair number but we`re getting some real big ones too.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - Feb. wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (2/26/2008)
[Kona] The biggest blue marlin of the year was weighed in on the 15th. The year is still young but a 934 pounder might just stand for a while. The marlin died 1-½ hours into the fight and it took another ½ hour to plane it up.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - Dec. wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (12/31/2007)
[Kona] And so ends another year. The spearfish came in early this season to help us celebrate and they are currently the most common fish being caught. Mahi mahi are still biting too but they`re not as abundant as they were at the beginning of the month. Otaru tuna are another fish that put on a good showing for us around the middle of the month and are normally a summer bite but we`ll take `em any time we can.

Winter fishing in Kona.. by Dee Bradford (11/12/2007)
[Kona] The Kona sport fishing is moving into it's winter season. Kona deep sea fishing in the winter is for Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, striped Marlin and some of the smaller tuna species. Generally, in the winter, we have fewer Blue Marlin however their size is almost double that of the summer marlin run. Also the Mahi Mahi are beginning to move into the waters off Kona, Hawaii and should stay until early spring.

Kona Hawaii fishing report by Jeff Rogers (9/25/2007)
[Kona] Kona Hawaii fishing report – September wrap-up. September is typically the slowest tourist month of the year. The trolling bite on marlin was a bit slow too. Part of the reason was the lack of boats going out. You might think, well, not many boats out so there’s more fish for me but that’s not really how it works.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - August wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (8/28/2007)
[Kona] Pacific blue marlin tops the list of the most common fish being caught in August. Sizes are ranging from just over 100 lbs. to just under 1000 lbs. Just like last month there were a few 900+ fish caught but that magical 1000 lb. mark has escaped many.

Kona Hawaii fishing report by Jeff Rogers (7/31/2007)
[Kona] Kona Hawaii fishing report – July wrap-up. The marlin bite for the month was pretty good. If the number of charter boats going out were like they have been in recent years, there would be more caught and you could probably call it a really good bite but the lack of boats going out is keeping the marlin catch numbers down. Summer months are usually pretty busy with tourists here in Hawaii but there’s a definite slow down of tourists. Most likely the result of a slowing economy.

Kona Hawaii fishing report by Jeff Rogers (6/28/2007)
[Kona] Kona Hawaii fishing report – June wrap-up. The big female marlin are still around but the big question for most of the month was, “where are all the males”? Normally when someone is hooked up to a big female, you will find several 150 lb. size male marlin in the same area not to mention the daily catches of this size marlin. They just showed up in the last few days so the Kona marlin fishery is looking up.

[Kona] Kona Hawaii fishing report – May wrap-up May started off pretty slow but it ended with many nice catches. Several “Beast” blue marlin (over 500 lbs.) have been caught recently. Most are getting tagged and released. This is just one of the things that marks summer time in Kona.
