Sportfish Hawaii would also like to congratulate Captain Don Monroe on the Kono who caught a 700 plus pound Marlin out in Waianae on Saturday. We couldn't get the details at the time of writing, but this is now clearly the fish to beat in the harbor for the year. We should have more on it soon. Sorry for the late update this week. Some of our boats were a little more of a challenge to contact than usual.
Fishing is good most places, too.
Sportfish Hawaii welcomes Ho'okela into the fleet, and they got it going right away. This was followed by several Mahimahi and Ono throughout the week, and next week you'll read about another nice fish with captain Kim. Hinatea picked up a super Ahi on the 11th, coming in at 120 pounds. They, too, picked up some more Mahimahi and Ono throughout the week, meanwhile, Start Me Up remained steady with Mahimahi catches most of the week as well. Seeing the Mahimahi and Ono catches begin to equalize might mean the transition period is over, and with all the bait and sporadic Ahi around, it is looking like the a steadier stream of bigger fish will be following soon.
