Winter in Hawaii is upon us and the fishing off the coast of the north shore of Oahu is still going strong. The Yellowfin Tuna bite is in full swing with fish over 200 pounds regularly being caught. We usually don't see tuna that size this late in the year and hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for spring! The Blue Marlin have arrived offshore and are within range of a full day trip. 

The Wahoo fishing has also been quite good off the western and northern ends of the north shore. A few boats have reported double digit catches and Wahoo weighing over 50 pounds. While our state record Wahoo is  133.2 pounds and was caught by Tom Brandt and Sky Mullins of Pohoiki on the island of Hawaii in 2000 the average fish is in the 30 pound range making any Wahoo over 50 pounds an awesome catch in Hawaii.
While typically the Mahi Mahi fishing is unbelievable in Haleiwa. This year has fallen a bit flat. BUT... the Mahi Mahi that are being caught are definitely on the large side. Captain Dave on the Foxy Lady has had a few double digit fish count days in the past months so it's well worth getting out on the water. Bull Mahi Mahi weighing over 50 pounds are a great battle and put on an aerial display that has to be seen to be believed. The Foxy Lady crew even landed a cow Mahi Mahi that weighed over 40 pounds. The cows typically don't get as big as the bulls making that one heck of a nice fish.
Things should keep improving as we move further towards spring and it historic run of big fish! Let's all hope that this years fishing in Haleiwa is just as good if not better than the past few years. As you can see from our fishing photo galleries North Shore Oahu fishing is amazing!
