Ahi (Tuna)
If you're planning to target Ahi (Tuna) from Ocean View, you're in for a big game fishing adventure. The waters off the Kona coast are renowned for their Ahi fishing. The key is to find areas with underwater structure or current convergences, as these areas tend to hold baitfish and attract tuna. The peak season for Ahi near Ocean View is generally during the summer months, particularly around the time of the full moon. Trolling with lures or live bait is a common technique, and many anglers also use kite fishing to present baits at the surface. A practical tip is to invest in quality gear, as Ahi are incredibly strong and can put up a formidable fight. The boat ramps in the area provide easy access to the fishing grounds. The Ahi in this region are known for their size and quality, making them a highly desirable catch for both recreational and commercial fishermen.
