Kona Hawaii fishing report - August wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (8/28/2010)
[Kona,HI] So maybe I should stay out of the fish prediction business. Last month I predicted that there wouldn't be a large number of marlin caught in the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament but there would be a good number of big ones weighed in. I was right about the big ones but gladly I was somewhat wrong about the total number of marlin caught....

Kona Hawaii fishing report - July wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (7/31/2010)
[Kona,HI] This morning as I'm writing this report the Wahine (female in Hawaiian) Tournament that hosts only female anglers is happening. In recent years it has been the biggest tournament in Kona but the economy has slowed it down to about half of its normal size. Marlin are the prize money fish with a minimum of 300 lbs. for weigh in and only a trophy going for the most tuna, ono and mahi mahi points......

July 31, Kona Fishing Report. by Dee Bradford (7/31/2010)
[Kona,HI] Kona deep sea fishing during July and August is for Blue Marlin, Ahi, Spearfish and Wahoo. July through September is our prime time for big game fishing in Kona for Blue Marlin. It is also our tournament season, so if you are looking to fish during this time, I recommend reserving a boat early. The wonderful fishing conditions define Kona fishing. We fish flat water, close to shore for giant Blue Marlin and Ahi. Fishing in Kona is family friendly and comfortable.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - June wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (6/29/2010)
[Kona,HI] The summer marlin bite is kicking into gear so marlin are now a daily sight on the catch board. Mostly blue marlin but the striped marlin are also making a showing. Last summer we had more striped marlin show up in the summer than we did in that previous winter even though the winter months are the peak season for them. It's very possible that we will see the same thing happen again .......

Kona Hawaii fishing report - May wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (5/26/2010)
[Kona,HI] We're experiencing a good ono run right now so ono tops the list of the most common fish caught this month. The marlin bite has been real slow so most of the boats are pounding the ono lane in order to have a successful trip.

May 6, Kona Hawaii Fishing Report by Dee Bradford (5/07/2010)
[Kona,HI] The Kona deep sea fishing in May is mainly for Blue Marlin, Spearfish and Wahoo. There might also be some striped Marlin and Ahi around during the spring. May is traditionally is a big Blue Marlin month in Kona fishing...and this year has been no exception. It seems like every day one or more big marlin are weighed in or released unharmed.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - May wrap-up by Jeff Rogers (5/29/2009)
[Kona,HI] In last months fishing report I focused in on “Grander” (over 1000 lb.) marlin. Just a couple of days ago another “close but no cigar” was weighed in. This one tipped the scale at 913 lbs. There have been other big ones both brought in and even more released recently. We have year round blue marlin but the summer months usually have more abundance. Last year it was the small male blue marlin that showed up first and the big females didn't show up ‘til later in the summer.
