August was a good month for Mahimahi, Ono and Ahi. Usually the fall is a good time for Mahimahi, but multiple catches were reported this month, with 4-5 Mahi’s being caught on multiple trips along with Ono. Pictured above is a nice Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) brought in with several Aku (Skipjack Tuna) that the kids caught earlier already on ice. Overall, fishing has been pretty good in August with lots of action. Sadly, August also brought the horrible fires on Maui which destroyed the harbor in Lahaina and most of the charter boats that run from Lahaina. While the Lahaina area in West Maui is closed to visitors, the rest of the Island of Maui is open including the charter boat harbor in Ma’alaea. Maui needs the support of tourism to keep people employed and help the island recover so please think of Maui for your next Hawaiian vacation.
