This page contains Oahu fishing reports from March. As March comes closer, bottom fishing is expected to pick up. Papio are still active off the shore, but the bite is less prolific. The winter/spring trolling season is slow. While billfish and other aku were occasionally caught, it was not consistent. Reports this week indicate that small ahi as well as shibi have been caught off Oahu. Deep 7 snappers can also be caught by kawakawa, nabeta, and kawakawa. Bottom fishing is the best choice, and the bite should continue for the entire month of April.
August storm caused the papio bite to dry up completely
Papio bite and oio spots have suddenly dwindled since August closed, and the recent storm has caused muddy flats and changed the structure of some spots. The next storm will improve the bite and oio spot, so keep an eye out for them. Filet the Papio that you catch and add it to sushi.
Papio being still caught off the coast
Despite the disappointing oama season, papio can still be caught off Oahu at the correct tides. However, they have been skeptics this year. Because of the weather conditions, they are more skittish. During this time, the papio had fewer numbers and started hunting for new Oama. The inshore fishing has declined as the oama have been piled up in large numbers. The stragglers do not want to swim in and allow lure fishermen to capture a good-sized papio.
Papio season started late and ended late
Oahu's Papaio season started and ended in late 2016. In fact, Oama haven't been caught since 2016 fall. Oahu's papio-oama seasons have been delayed this year partly because of the La Nina. However, fishing in general continues to be affected even though the weak La Nina has not yet stopped. The bad news? 2020 will be one the most devastating oama/papio seasons for decades.
Unless the Oama arrive, Papio season won't be as active.
This year's oama season started late in July and ended early in September. Many thought that the La Nina influence that has had an adverse effect on fishing over the last few seasons would have ended by now, but the current situation indicates that La Nina remains in place. Unless the Oama enter late in the season, the Oama season may be lower than usual.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some are very simple while others require advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. You might need to use specific detergents or solvents depending on the type of fishing gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, you should use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants that help loosen dirt and grime from surfaces. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
