April in Hawaii is generally the best time for Mahimahi and Striped Marlin. Boats reported so nice Mahi catches as well as Ono (Wahoo) and Blue Marlin. We also had some Ahi reported in the 100lb+ range along with some smaller tuna we call Aku. The Aku are many times caught in multiple numbers which makes for a fun time catching even though they are not the huge fish. Some spearfish were also reported, a spearfish looks like a long, skinny marlin. May is usually a great time for catching Ono along the 40 fathom curve so hopefully May will be a good month. More and more visitors are coming back to Hawaii and the boats are getting booked up sometimes several weeks in advance, so plan ahead and book early.
Bass fishing on Kauai has been good for largemouth bass. Tom has been seeing the Peacock bass lately, but they have not yet wanted to bite this season so hoping they do as the weather gets warmer.
