[Kona,HI] This month was one of the best months for blue marlin that Kona has seen in quite a while. With that, the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, the Lazy Marlin Hunt and the Big Island Invitational Marlin Tournament were all BIG successes.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - July wrap-up (7/27/2011)
[Kona,HI] So how many of you regular readers of my monthly fishing report Google'd to see who won the Blue Marlin World Cup Tournament on July 4th? You don't need to email me with the answer but I have thousands of fishermen who regularly read my monthly fishing report and I figured at least some of you would have been curious enough to see if Bermuda was able to take the Blue Marlin Capital title away from Hawaii. Drum roll

Kona Hawaii fishing report - June wrap-up (6/29/2011)
[Kona,HI] HUGE blue marlin tops the report this month. Several marlin over 500 lbs. (beast status) were caught in June with a few hitting the 900+ mark and many in the 500 to 800+ lb. range.

[Kona,HI] So here I sit at the computer again about to write the Kona Hawaii Fishing Report. I've been doing it once a month for over 10 years now and I always try to get it done just before the month ends. Last month I didn't even realize the month had ended until after the fact and I found myself cramming the time into my schedule to get the report done.

Kona Hawaii fishing report - Jan. wrap-up (1/29/2011)
[Kona,HI] Great news! Yes, we have striped marlin :) Kona hasn't seen a good striped marlin run in the past 5 seasons so I'm very happy that we're finally getting them. Striped marlin is my 2nd favorite fish to eat after the Hawaiian grouper. Raw with wasabi and soy sauce or seared on the outside, it's fantastic! I salivate just like Pavlov's dog every time I talk about eating striped marlin, it's that good. The meat is usually pink but sometimes its pumpkin orange. The orange meat is the best.

[Kona,HI] November was a very slow month for charter fishing as the uncertain economy and uncertain tax burden has many vacationers in a wait-n-see mode. The new TSA procedures aren't helping either.

[Kona,HI] While September is the slowest time of the year for tourism, it can be the best time of the year for blue marlin and that happened again this year. The few boats that were going out this month were seeing marlin on almost a daily basis. So what are the odds of getting one? First of course, the more marlin that are around, the more bites, the better the odds............

Kona Hawaii fishing report - August wrap-up (8/28/2010)
[Kona,HI] So maybe I should stay out of the fish prediction business. Last month I predicted that there wouldn't be a large number of marlin caught in the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament but there would be a good number of big ones weighed in. I was right about the big ones but gladly I was somewhat wrong about the total number of marlin caught....

Kona Hawaii fishing report - July wrap-up (7/31/2010)
[Kona,HI] This morning as I'm writing this report the Wahine (female in Hawaiian) Tournament that hosts only female anglers is happening. In recent years it has been the biggest tournament in Kona but the economy has slowed it down to about half of its normal size. Marlin are the prize money fish with a minimum of 300 lbs. for weigh in and only a trophy going for the most tuna, ono and mahi mahi points......

[Kona,HI] The summer marlin bite is kicking into gear so marlin are now a daily sight on the catch board. Mostly blue marlin but the striped marlin are also making a showing. Last summer we had more striped marlin show up in the summer than we did in that previous winter even though the winter months are the peak season for them. It's very possible that we will see the same thing happen again .......

[Kona,HI] We're experiencing a good ono run right now so ono tops the list of the most common fish caught this month. The marlin bite has been real slow so most of the boats are pounding the ono lane in order to have a successful trip.
