Giant Trevally (Ulua)

Looking to tangle with a Giant Trevally, or Ulua, near Ocean View, Hawaii? This area offers some fantastic shore and nearshore opportunities. Ulua are powerful fighters and are often found around rocky points, reefs, and harbors. The cooler months, from October to April, can be particularly productive, as larger fish move closer to shore to spawn. A local tip is to fish during the early morning or late evening hours when Ulua are most active. Use heavy tackle and durable bait, such as octopus or whole fish, to withstand their crushing jaws and powerful runs. Popular access points include the rocky coastline south of Ocean View and any accessible harbor piers. Be aware of strong currents and surge, especially when fishing from shore. The Ulua population here is robust, with some truly trophy-sized fish being caught each year. Remember to respect local regulations and practice responsible fishing.
