Ono (Wahoo)

Targeting Ono (Wahoo) around M C B H Kaneohe Bay is an exciting pursuit, offering the chance to tangle with one of Hawaii's prized gamefish. The bay's diverse underwater structure and proximity to deeper ocean waters make it a prime hunting ground for these fast-moving predators. Ono fishing here is often best during the warmer months, when baitfish are abundant. However, Ono can be caught year-round if you adapt to their feeding patterns. Success in Kaneohe Bay hinges on understanding the Ono's diet and behavior. Trolling with lures or live bait along the edges of reefs and drop-offs is a common and effective technique. Be sure to vary your trolling speed and depth until you find what triggers a strike. A local tip: keep an eye out for birds diving, as this often indicates schools of baitfish, and Ono are likely to be nearby. The Kaneohe Bay boat ramp provides easy access to these fishing grounds, but be sure to check local regulations and weather conditions before heading out.
