Kona Hawaii fishing report – Dec. 2011 wrap-up . I was really hoping that the striped marlin bite would be better this month and while there are a few being caught right now and with more frequently than last month, it’s not really enough of a bite to call it a “run” yet. It’s still early in the season for t...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Nov. wrap-up . So what happened in October? Where did the report go? Well, I didn’t write one. I was out of action for most of October because I had back-to-back bladder cancer surgeries. Not only didn’t I fish for most of October but I didn’t stay in touch with other fisher...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Sept. wrap-up . As usual September is the slowest time of year for tourism and with the economy still in bad shape; it’s even slower than normal so there’s not many boats out fishing, including me. I used the extra time off to do some work on my web site and I made a videos page....

Kona Hawaii fishing report – August wrap-up . This month was one of the best months for blue marlin that Kona has seen in quite a while.

Kona Hawaii fishing report – July wrap-up . So how many of you regular readers of my monthly fishing report Google’d to see who won the Blue Marlin World Cup Tournament on July 4th?

Kona Hawaii fishing report – June wrap-up . HUGE blue marlin tops the report this month. Several marlin over 500 lbs. (beast status) were caught in June with a few hitting the 900+ mark and many in the 500 to 800+ lb. range. It was almost a surprise that another Kona grander wasn’t caught. There very wel...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – May wrap-up . The early part of May was pretty good as far as the trolling bite was concerned. Ono topped the list as the easiest bite but there were also several yellowfin, marlin and spearfish coming in. As usual, when the current direction switches, the bite slows and th...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – April wrap-up . So here I sit at the computer again about to write the Kona Hawaii Fishing Report. I’ve been doing it once a month for over 10 years now and I always try to get it done just before the month ends. Last month I didn’t even realize the month had ended until after the f...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – March wrap-up . The trolling bite is still doing real good in Kona with a mix of striped marlin, spearfish and mahi mahi. There have even been a few blue marlin around with one coming in this month just 22 lbs. short of the “grander” mark. While the blue marlin are generally s...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Feb. wrap-up . The striped marlin are still biting good in Kona but they certainly are running small. When they do show up in the winter they are usually all close to the same size. Some winters they’re all about 50 to 60 lbs. Other winters have had most running around 100 lbs...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Jan. wrap-up . Great news! Yes, we have striped marlin :) Kona hasn’t seen a good striped marlin run in the past 5 seasons so I’m very happy that we’re finally getting them. Striped marlin is my 2nd favorite fish to eat after the Hawaiian grouper. Raw with wasabi and soy sauc...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Dec. wrap-up . The year ended with a bang as Kona’s 2nd “grander” marlin was weighed in. Usually there’s more than one grander caught in Kona each year but this year looked like it would be the exception. During a year there are several granders hooked up but most of these fi...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Nov. wrap-up . November was a very slow month for charter fishing as the uncertain economy and uncertain tax burden has many vacationers in a wait-n-see mode. The new TSA procedures aren’t helping either. And as I’ve said before, many of the vacationers that are coming t...

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Oct. wrap-up . October is one of my favorite months to fish because it’s this month that offers the most variety of fish.

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Sept. wrap-up . While September is the slowest time of the year for tourism, it can be the best time of the year for blue marlin and that happened again this year.

Kona Hawaii fishing report – Feb. wrap-up . I normally start out with a billfish report but I know many are wondering how Kona was affected by the Tsunami.
