Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Following up on last week's mahi and aku action, the North Shore pattern is holding strong into November.
Off Haleiwa, the trade winds have been coming and going, and early morning has been the cleanest window on the water. The ocean settles between swells, and that first light troll is hard to beat. That is what a Haleiwa fishing charter is all about — one private group, lines in early, and room to run.
What is in the mix right now: aku — skipjack tuna — and mahi mahi on the troll, with wahoo and shibi in the same waters. Shibi is yellowfin under 100 lbs. Aku are the blue and white ones, usually 1 to 2 feet long. We are also seeing trevally and bottom fish when we change up the plan. It is a good mix for Oahu deep sea fishing and Hawaii sport fishing this time of year.
This is also whale season. Whale watching Oahu runs October through March, and on the water you can sometimes see whales, sharks, and turtles if they choose to show themselves — and occasionally a rare Hawaiian monk seal.
If you are looking for a North Shore fishing charter, a private fishing charter Oahu, or a Honolulu fishing charter with a local captain, now is a great time to lock in a morning. Want a slower end to the day? Ask about a sunset cruise Haleiwa trip too.
