The marlin fishing in kona is just starting to happen. We hooked a nice one today but got off. The family and I went to south point over the weekend and caught 10 ono and a couple of tunas plus some night time bottom fish. Zac and Hana caught all these fish.

The fishing in Kona is picking up. Ono are being caught everyday. I had 6 billfish bites yesterday. We had a triple stripe marlin bite. Lost all three of them. Then a couple minutes later we caught two spearfish that we hooked at the same time. As we were going back to the harbor a nice blue marlin grabbed are long corner lure. Today I saw 2 nice marlin caught beside me and we captured two mahi mahi for our charter.

We just got back from a south point trip. We fished for 2 days and 1 night. We caught 4 ono 40-60 pounds, 2 Ahi tuna about 25 lbs each, 7 Giant Trevally, and 3 Big Amber Jack. We also caught some small snapper and bait fish. We missed 3 marlin strikes on the way home, one of them was 400 + pounds. This is the best charter to do from now to end of summer. You will get the most action and the most amount of time fishing for your money. Ask about the trip. You will not be disappointed.

Fishing in kona has been good this winter. We have been catching a lot of shortnose spearfish, stripe marlin, and mahi mahi. It is 100% better than the last couple of years. Picture below is a spearfish we caught Ulla on a half day. We also caught my wife a striped marlin that day. This week we caught 2 very big amberjack on the bottom.

The weather has been bad in Kona. We have not been able to fish the last 5 days. But before then we were catching mahi mahi almost everyday. The short nose spearfish are also showing up now.

Mahi Mahi's are being caught pretty consistently. The marlin fishing is a little slow now. The stripe marlin and the spearfish should be picking up as we get in to the winter months. This time is also real good for the mahi mahi as well. The bottom fishing is starting to get good. Lots of amber jack's and gray snapper this time of year. We have also been doing good at the buoy's for football size yellow fin tuna and skipjack tuna.

June threw August is the best time for fishing in Kona. We are seeing blue marlin being caught everyday. The ono bite is still great. The big yellow fin tuna fishing is a little slow but the mahi mahi fishing is good.

The marlin fishing is good. In Kona yesterday there was a 812 pound blue marlin, and a 525 pound blue marlin caught. We had a 300 pounder on today. The ono fishing has been good. We caught 14 ono and 1 mahi mahi Monday. Looks like its going to be a good summer.

The marlin bite has been great the last month. We had 7 strikes and tagged 2 blue marlin this week. Also the ono are running now. We caught a 35 lb ono today and a 20 lb mahi mahi. The mahi mahi fishing has also been good this march. We have caught a fish every day of the month either by trolling or bottom fishing. Only have been skunked one day this year so far and that was a half day of fishing.

The trolling bite in Kona is a little slow last couple of weeks. But we did catch a short nose spearfish today. We also caught some mahi mahi and a stripe marlin earlier in the week. The bottom fishing has been good. We caught a almaco jack and half of a gray snapper( a shark ate it on the way up) today.

Carol Parks caught an Uku (gray snapper) that is going to be hard to beat and is the biggest of the year. The bottom fishing is good. Also we caught some yellowfin tuna out at F buoy this week. Had a nice blue marlin strike on Sunday. We managed to catch a tiger shark that was 700 lbs or bigger that Bob Jenive angled for over 2 hours on 50 lb test.

The Trolling bite slowed down quite a bit. There is still some small tunas around and the bottom fishing is great.

Bottom fishing is real consistent. Catching large amberjacks. The trolling bite slowed down last couple of days but there is blue marlin being caught everyday. Still small tuna at F buoy and by the airport.

The new year started out great for us. We tagged and released a 300 lb blue marlin on Jan 3rd. Tagged aa stripe marlin about 70 lbs on Jan 5 for Greg Lundquist. We killed a 60 lb. spear fishon Jan2. We caught small tuna, 2 uku, 3 sharks, and 8 amberjack this week as well.

Today we tagged and released 3 blue marlin just 2 hours in to our half day fishing trip. There is not to many places in the world you can do this. Yesterday we bottom fished and caught 12 amber jack and one trevally. The ranged from 15-50 lbs. The bottom is great and so is the trolling this last week.

Fishing is good. Lots of marlin are being caught everyday. The stripe marlin and spearfish are here now. Lots of Bait (small tuna) around F buoy and up by the aiport. The bottom fishing is also good. We are catching some big amberjack and grey snapper.

November was a good month fishing. There was marlin and mahi consistently being caught all through the month. December has started the same way. Looks to be a lot better year compared to last.
