Fishing in Oahu

Oahu fishing charters offer unparalleled access to Hawaii's legendary game fish in the Pacific's nutrient-rich waters. Situated just miles from Honolulu and Haleiwa, the island's steep offshore drop-offs plunge over 1,000 feet near shore, creating prime habitat for Pacific Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), Mahi Mahi, Wahoo (Ono), and Shortbill Spearfish. These pelagic giants thrive year-round in Oahu's warm currents, with deep-sea trolling yielding trophy catches within hours of departure.

Beyond bluewater adventures, Oahu's diverse fisheries include vibrant reef ecosystems teeming with Trevallies, Triggerfish, and Wrasse, along with sandy flats harboring elusive Bonefish. Bottom fishing targets Snapper and Grouper while freshwater options feature Bass and Tilapia. Charters operate half-day (4-hour), ¾-day (6-hour), and full-day (8-10 hour) excursions from multiple harbors, accommodating both private and shared groups. No saltwater license is required, and anglers traditionally share their catch with crews. Experience Hawaii's most accessible big-game fishery where diverse species and proximity to urban centers create ideal conditions for memorable catches.

Oahu Fishing Seasons

January

Kick off the year with some awesome offshore fishing. Bigeye Tuna are in their prime this time of year, making for great trolling and a delicious meal at the end of the day. Trevally and Snapper are also biting left and right.

February

The Billfish bite picks up in February, with huge numbers of Shortbill Spearfish and Striped Marlin. The Ahi bite is on fire, and Mahi Mahi are coming into their prime, so you won't go hungry, and you'll have a blast on the water.

March

Enjoy some angling action at the President's Day Fishing Tournament, if you're interested in competitive fishing. Otherwise, you're welcome to enjoy the fabulous pelagics bite and hook into a Striped Marlin or two.

April

The rains tend to die down by April, making for productive flats fishing. Hit the shallows for awesome Bonefishing or head to the deep to battle Ono, Ahi, and Mahi Mahi, to name a few. Over at the reefs, Trevally, Snapper, and Jobfish are biting.

May

Blue Marlin start showing up in bigger numbers in May. The Striped Marlin are still around, Spearfish can be caught well into the summer, and you know what that means – this is the perfect time for a Billfish Slam!

June

June is a great month for competitive anglers. Choose between battling Giant Trevally in the Ulua Challenge, heading offshore for the Hawaiian Open, or chasing Tuna in the Ahi Shootout. For a slower pace, hit the reefs or fish for Peacock Bass in the freshwater.

July

Billfish dominate all Oahu fishing seasons but come summer, and the Blue Marlin bite is what everyone gets excited about. In the mood to fight a monster? Head to the FADs for the chance of monster Blues weighing well over 500 pounds.

August

The high temperatures in August are no joke, but the fish don't seem to mind. One way to beat the heat is to fish at night, targeting Tuna and Swordfish. If high temperatures don't discourage you, anything from beach fishing to bluewater is open to you.

September

Fishing is still going strong in September, with anything from Blue Marlin to Lobster on the menu. When you're done fishing for the day, head to the annual Aloha Festival – one of the most important events on Oahu.

October

Billfish aren't as numerous as they are in summer, but they're still around. If you'd rather catch your own dinner, the 'Deep 7' (a combo of six different Snapper species and one Grouper) are usually back on the menu by October. It's a challenge well worth the effort.

November

The Do or Die Fishing Tournament offers fierce competition in November. Non-competitive fishermen will have a great time targeting Bigeye Tuna, as well as all the favorite reef and bottom dwellers.

December

There's hardly a better way to spend your winter holiday than basking in the sun, with a fishing rod in your hands. Anything from Striped Marlin and Tuna to Ehu and Bluefin Trevally can be your Christmas present.
