You've found the right place if you are looking for Oahu fishing report for March. As March comes closer, bottom fishing is expected to pick up. The bite is still quite low for Papio, although they are still active offshore. The winter/spring trolling season has been relatively slow, with billfish and aku caught in small numbers but not consistently. Reports indicate that small ahi and shibi are still being caught off Oahu this week. Deep 7 snappers also enjoy the bite of nabeta or kawakawa. Bottom fishing is the best, and it will continue to bite throughout April.
August storm wiped out all papio bites
The papio bit and oio spots have slowed down since August, and the recent storm caused muddy flats that altered the structure and created a few spots. The bite and oio spots should be improved by the next storm. So keep your eyes out! You can filet Papio and make sushi from it.
Papio being still caught off the coast
Papio still get caught off Oahu's shores at the right tides, despite a disappointing oama year. However, they have been skeptics this year. The stormy, humid weather makes them more cautious than usual. The papio were less numerous during this time and began to search for new oama after the storms passed. The inshore fishing has declined as the oama have been piled up in large numbers. The stragglers are not bothering to swim in, allowing lure fishermen to catch a nice sized papio.
The Papio season began late and ended late
Oahu's papio and oama seasons have ended and begun late this year. Oama were not caught in Oahu since the fall 2016. The papio and oama seasons on Oahu have been late this year, partly because the La Nina has not yet stopped. In fact, the weak La Nina is continuing to affect fishing in general. The bad news is the 2020 season could be one of most difficult oama/papio seasons since recent memory.
Unless Oama come in, the Papio seasons will be less active.
The oama-season this year started in July and ended around September. Although it was believed that the La Nina affect that has been affecting fishing over several years had stopped before the summer, the current situation seems to indicate that La Nina continues to be an issue. The Oama season is expected to be shorter than normal, unless Oama arrive later in the season.
