Ahi (Tuna)
Targeting Ahi (Tuna) off Ewa Beach requires understanding the migratory patterns and baitfish concentrations that fluctuate throughout the year. Peak season typically runs from late spring through early fall, coinciding with the arrival of aku (skipjack tuna) and other forage species that Ahi actively pursue. Water temperature is key; Ahi prefer cooler waters, so look for temperature breaks and upwellings using a fish finder. A proven local technique is to slow-troll live opelu (mackerel scad) near FADs (fish aggregating devices) or along the 100-fathom line. Be mindful of current; Ahi often hold on the up-current side of structure. Also, pay attention to bird activity, as diving birds often indicate schools of feeding tuna. Always check the latest fishing regulations and advisories before heading out, and respect the ocean conditions.
