Giant Trevally (Ulua)
If you're seeking a battle of wills, look no further than the Giant Trevally (Ulua) around Pearl Harbor. These powerful fish are known for their aggressive strikes and tenacious fights. Focus your efforts around rocky shorelines, reefs, and harbor structures where they ambush prey. Early mornings and late evenings are often the most productive times to target Ulua. Casting large poppers or swimbaits can trigger explosive strikes. For shore anglers, try the rock walls near the harbor entrance, but be mindful of the strong currents. A local tip: use heavy tackle, as Ulua are notorious for breaking lines on sharp rocks. Also, be prepared to move quickly to keep the fish away from structure after the hookset. These fish are smart and tough, making them a rewarding challenge for any angler.
