If you are searching for Oahu fishing reporting for March, you have come to the right spot. As March gets closer, bottom fishing will pick back up. Although papio are still available off the coast, the bite is not as prolific. The spring and winter trolling seasons have been slow. Billfish and aku were caught in smaller numbers, but not consistently. Reports this week indicate that small ahi as well as shibi have been caught off Oahu. Deep 7 snapper fishermen also love nabeta, kawakawa and other squid. Bottom fishing is the best, and it will continue to bite throughout April.
August storm destroyed the papio bit completely.
Since August closes, the papio bite and oio spot numbers have dropped dramatically. In addition to the recent storm causing mud flats and changing the structure of some spots, the recent storm has also affected the structure of some 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 is still being caught from the shore
Despite a disappointing oama season this year, papio are still being caught off the shores of Oahu at the right tides. They were skeptical this season. Due to the humid, stormy weather, they are less skittish. The papio were smaller during that period, so they started to look for new oama when the storms had passed. The inshore fishing has declined as the oama have been piled up in large numbers. 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 papio season began and ended late in the year. Oama have not even been caught since the autumn of 2016. Oahu's papio, oama season has been very late this year due to the La Nina. Actually, fishing is still being affected by the weak La Nina. The bad news is the 2020 season could be one of most difficult oama/papio seasons since recent memory.
Unless Oama are in, the Papio Season 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. That means that the oama season will be weaker than normal unless the Oama come in late in the season.
