Targeting Marlin out of Pearl Harbor offers anglers the chance to tangle with some truly impressive fish. These apex predators are drawn to the warm, nutrient-rich waters surrounding Oahu. Success often depends on locating areas where baitfish congregate, such as near FADs or along drop-offs. Trolling large lures or live bait is the preferred method. While Marlin can be caught year-round, the summer months generally provide the best opportunity. A crucial tip for fishing this area: pay close attention to the depth sounder and look for signs of bait schools. Knowing the bottom structure can also help you identify potential holding areas for Marlin. Furthermore, consider using a fighting chair for added leverage during the battle, as these fish can put up an incredible fight.
