Kona fishing in June is for Blue Marlin, Spearfish, Wahoo and Ahi. June is a great month for fishing in Kona since you never know if that next strike will be a 40 lb Spearfish or a 700 lb Blue Marlin. The Blue Marlin fishing has been a bit slower than usual this spring however gets better every day. Ahi are beginning to show up in good numbers. They are best caught at night...but are always a welcome sight as the explode on a trolled lure.
I try to vary my techniques during this time of the year. A typical June day would be to slow troll light tackle for Wahoo right near the harbor. We can generally catch one or two of these great eating fish in an hour or two. Then I catch some 5-10 lb skipjack tuna....and then bridle them up as live bait for both Blue Marlin or Ahi. I then finish the day by trolling a wide variety of lures along the beautiful Kona Coast of Hawaii.
If you are planning a summer visit, please reserve early. Most of our tournaments are held during the summer and limits the number of boats available for charter. I am still available for two tournaments if you might want to call and discuss.
