HAWAII FISHING NEWS brings it all to you! Sportfishing in Hawaii is year-round! Aptly titled by HAWAII FISHING NEWS in 1977, the "Blue Marlin Capital of the World." Hawaii offers six species of billfish plus yellowfin (ahi), skipjack (aku), dogtooth, bonito, albacore & bigeye tuna. Other species of offshore game fish include wahoo (ono), dolphin fish (mahimahi), great barracuda (kaku) & rainbow runner (kamanu,or Hawaiian salmon). Bottom fishing is also popular in Hawaii with good catches of snapper at depths of 10 to 100 fathoms. Inshore waters of Hawaii, with 700 miles of fishable shoreline, draw the most activity from anglers. Heavy-duty shore casting rigs allow anglers to tackle giant ulua (jacks) of up to 200 lbs as they prowl the reefs at night. Medium tackle and ultralight fishing clubs have sprung up in Hawaii as anglers have discovered the excitement of fishing for the many other species that make the reefs and sandy channels their homes. Freshwater enthusiasts are not to be denied as Hawaii has more varieties of freshwater game fish than most areas of the mainland; these include largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, oscar, tucunare, channel catfish and rainbow trout. What all this adds up to? Hawaii is a great place to fish!

BOAT OF THE MONTH • “Buying a boat is more difficult than giving birth to a Hippopotamus,” my business partner, Bruce Roset.said almost a year ago He vias absolutely right!
What makes them bite? • Anyone that’s ever wet a line in pursuit of a fish has more than once cussed the unpredictable fickleness of his quarry. It’s likely that there isn’t an angler alive who hasn’t wondered why the action is red hot one day, and cold as a tax collector’s heart the next. Most of us simply become resigned to the philosophical approach, and we mumble something to the effect that “they’re just not biting” whenever those dry spells occur.
