The year’s just starting but the action here never even stopped! Challenge yourself to land a feisty Spearfish using light tackle or go after some monster Bigeye Tuna offshore. There are many other targets as well – from Snapper to Marlin!

Fishing for Marlin and other big game fish offshore is definitely a good idea in February. On top of that, you could try the shallow waters for smaller reef fish. The weather is quite enjoyable, with winter temperatures hovering around 70°F.

You can reliably target Mahi Mahi, Spearfish, Bigeye Tuna, and Striped Marlin in March. With such an impressive assortment of offshore targets, few anglers can resist venturing off to the blue waters to test their luck.

During spring, numerous offshore species are easier to come across, including Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna. In April, Mahi Mahi enter their first peak season, and Trevally can be found closer to the coast.

May is the perfect time to catch some Marlin, Wahoo, and Tuna. The reef bite is also strong if you’d like to stay closer to the shore. Be sure to check out the Lei Day Celebration while you’re taking a break from fishing.

June is peak season for Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna, making offshore charters targeting these deep sea prizes a popular choice among visiting anglers. Alternatively, trying for Trevally from the shore isn’t a bad idea, either.

The list of targets is impressive in July. Tuna, Marlin, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi are all plentiful during this warm month. Albacore Tuna can be caught at the end of the month, while the reefs are still going strong, and even fishing from the shore gives good results.

Whether you’re looking to fish nearshore or in the deep sea, August’s high temperatures will offer you the perfect conditions, regardless. Offshore Marlin trips are great for trophy hunters while nearshore excursions have a wide array of targets.

This time of year is one of the last chances to catch some Trevally (Papio and Ulua). Apart from fishing, this is a great opportunity to take part in The Aloha Festival, a celebration that showcases Hawaii’s unique traditions.

October marks Mahi Mahi’s second peak season. You can also explore the waters for Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna, or try to catch something from the reefs. Just take your pick – fishing is good everywhere!

The great thing about November in Oahu is that temperatures don’t drop below 70°F. This is a nice opportunity to go offshore fishing for Bigeye Tuna. Alternatively, you could explore waters closer to the shore and land some nice Nannygai.

December is the perfect time to catch Striped Marlin, who are entering their peak season. However, be on the lookout for Skipjack Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, and others, as you never know what’s on the other end of the line.
