Marlin
The waters off Kaneohe are a world-renowned destination for pursuing Marlin, specifically Blue Marlin, known for their size and fighting ability. The deep, nutrient-rich waters and consistent currents create an ideal environment for these apex predators. The best time to target Marlin here is during the summer months (June-September), when water temperatures are at their warmest, and the fish are most active. Trolling large lures or live bait is the most common method, focusing on areas with underwater structure, current breaks, and signs of baitfish. Be prepared for long hours of trolling, as Marlin fishing requires patience and persistence. A local tip is to pay attention to the weather forecasts and sea conditions, as rough seas can make fishing difficult and dangerous. The Kaneohe Bay boat ramp offers convenient access, and many experienced charter operators are available to guide you to the most productive fishing grounds. Remember to practice responsible catch-and-release techniques to help preserve this valuable resource.
