This page contains Oahu fishing reports from March. As March draws near, the bottom fishing will pick-up. Papio are still active off the shore, but the bite is less prolific. The winter/spring trolling season has been relatively slow, with billfish and aku caught in small numbers but not consistently. This week, though, reports indicate shibi and small ahi are still being caught off the coast of Oahu. Also, nabeta and kawakawa are biting well for Deep 7 snappers. Bottom fishing is the best choice, and the bite should continue for the entire month of April.
August storm destroyed the papio bit completely.
Since August was closed, the papio bite has dwindled and the oio spots are now less frequent. The recent storm also caused muddy flats in some areas and altered the structure of others. The next storm should improve bite and oio areas, so keep your eyes open. If you do manage to catch a Papio (or any other fish), filet it and serve it as sushi.
Papio is still being caught from the shore
Papio still get caught off Oahu's shores at the right tides, despite a disappointing oama year. They were skeptical this season. Because of the weather conditions, they are more skittish. The papio were smaller during that period, so they started to look for new oama when the storms had passed. After that, the oama were piled high and the inshore fishing slows down. The stragglers won't bother to go in the water, making it possible for lure fishermen catch a large 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. The papio and oama seasons on Oahu have been late this year, partly because the La Nina has not yet stopped. The weak La Nina continues to impact fishing overall. Bad news: The 2020 season will be the worst oama or papio season in recent history.
Unless the Oama enter, Papio season is less active.
This year's oama season started late in July and ended early in September. Although many believed the La Nina effect that had been affecting fishing for the past few years was over, the current situation shows that La Nina is still active. Unless the Oama enter late in the season, the Oama season may be lower than usual.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
