Marlin
If you're dreaming of battling a Marlin off the shores of Kihei, you're in prime marlin territory. The waters surrounding Maui are known for their deep drop-offs and nutrient-rich currents, attracting these magnificent billfish. Trolling large lures or live bait is the most common and effective method. Look for areas with temperature breaks or underwater seamounts, as these often hold concentrations of baitfish. While Marlin can be caught year-round, the summer months (June-September) tend to be the most productive. A local tip is to pay attention to the lunar cycle; some believe that marlin are more active around the full moon. Many experienced charter captains operate out of Maalaea Harbor and Kihei, offering specialized marlin fishing trips. Remember that marlin fishing requires patience and skill, but the reward of hooking into one of these giants is an unforgettable experience. Conservation is key, so practice responsible catch-and-release techniques.
