Barracuda
Barracuda fishing around Kihei can be an exciting experience, especially if you enjoy fast-paced action. These toothy predators are abundant in the area, particularly around reefs, wrecks, and nearshore waters. Summer months offer the best opportunities, as the warmer water brings them closer to shore. Trolling with lures or live bait is a productive method, focusing on areas with strong currents or structure. For land-based anglers, try casting spoons or crankbaits from rocky points or piers. A local tip: Barracuda are attracted to shiny objects, so use lures with reflective finishes. Be sure to use wire leaders, as their sharp teeth can easily slice through monofilament or fluorocarbon. Remember to handle them with care, as they have powerful jaws and can inflict a nasty bite. Always check local regulations regarding size and catch limits.
