A special breed of angler flocks to this nook of the world, where fishing lore is born.

Pelagic game fish, such as Blue Marlin (Au), Wahoo (ono), Dolphin Fish (Mahimahi) Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) and Skipjack Tuna (Aku) tend to prefer deep blue water, ranging from the surface to about 1,000 fathoms. Hence the term Blue Water Fishing. The rule of thumb is the deeper the water the bigger the fish. Yet, monster fish have been caught just out side the harbor, so its just a rule of thumb. You never know when or where a big fish will strike. The Kuuloa Kai team is prepared to hook up and boat a big fish at all times. Deep Sea Fishing Waikiki, Deep Sea Fishing Honolulu Hawaii deep sea fishing centers around floaters and Fish Aggregation Devices (FAD). "Floaters", the term fishermen call flotsam, act as nurseries for many pelagic species. Where there is food you will find big predators. FADs act as virtual floaters creating this food chain. Deep sea fishing Hawaii concentrates around FADs. Due to heavy shipping traffic, FADs are not positioned as densely on the Honolulu side of the island of Oahu. Deep sea fishing Honolulu means long travel times. The beauty of the windward side is that we get floaters blown to us first and have several FADs to choose from. Another rule of thumb: the choppier the water the better the bite. This makes Haleiwa the ideal fishing venue. You fish where the fish are. June 2002. Captain Rusty with 131 lbs.

Yellowfin Tuna Fishing Hawaii Oahu, Hawaii's world-famous North Shore may be a surfer's paradise. But its best-kept secret is that it is also one of Hawaii's hottest big game fishing locations. Massive schools of big Yellowfin Tuna visit Haleiwa, Hawaii's coast every year. Because of this annual migration, it is home to Haleiwa, Hawaii's North Shore Hanapa'a Jackpot Fishing Tournament. Of course, Hawaii is famous for Ahi, the Yellowfin Tuna. Hooking one of these is blue water big game fishing at its best. Yellowfin Tuna, pound for pound, are some of the hardest fighters ever built. Just imagine, the Hawaiian State record was 356 pounds of muscle. Indeed, Yellowfin Tuna are true heavy weights bursting with brute strength. They are a tough fighting fish with a fast recovery rate. They will mix deep dives with long, fast runs to test both angler and tackle. This is Hawaii fishing at its best. Oct 2, 2002. David Scotka boats a 108 lbs.

Hawaii Fishing for Mahi and Ono Close to the top of the ocean's food chain are Mahimahi, also known as Dolphin Fish and Ono, called Wahoo elsewhere. These predators are great fun to catch. When Haleiwa, Hawaii's Mahimahi season is in full swing, multiple hookups are common. Hawaii fishing is about pure adrenaline pumping action. Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing with Light Tackle Let's not forget those plentiful Skipjack Tuna. Although they are the feeders for all the big game fish, catching 5 to 20 pounders on light tackle is a kick in the pants. These babies fight like torpedos.

At the time appointed out we go on this day of 20 kph trades going to a buoy far away. On the way we took an ono hit and Brian landed it. At the bouy we baited and nothing came, the birds are gone the fish seem to be gone too. We jigged and baited and got nothing so we set up and trolled a long ways to another buoy, finding nothing on the way, and nothing at this buoy. On our way in we found some small bird piles and jigged but got no hits. Slow day it was.

After more baiting finaly a big shibi hooked up and stayed on, Bill did great pumping up a 53 pounder, a great fight. We jigged but got no hits. Scot baited more but nothing bit, so off for home we go, no hits. These folks were fun to have aboard good going. Aloha Capt Rusty
