Kona Fishing Report March 12, 2008

The Kona Blue Marlin fishing seems to be improving as tuna bait schools are now making their spring appearance off the Kona Coast. Traditionally, March brings some of our biggest blue marlin of the year. Last year the largest of the year was caught on March 11th....1012 lbs. Also, springtime brings great tasting Wahoo to the inside ledges. This time of year I usually start with a quick Wahoo run on the rocky point in front of the harbor. If we spend and hour or so, we should catch a few of these speedsters. Then we can troll lures or try for live bait for Blue Marlin and other big game fish. The last few days we have caught some striped Marlin along with Mahi Mahi. The Wahoo are just beginning to hit...and should be at their peak in a few weeks. We are happy to filet up one of these great tasting fish for you.
