- Info
Calm seas with light to moderate winds, mild temperatures between 75-85°F, and clear skies create the best fishing conditions. Stable weather ensures safer and more comfortable trips offshore.
The best moon phases are around the new moon to first quarter, which tend to increase fish activity and feeding patterns, improving your chances for big catches.
The prime season starts from May through September when marlin are most abundant. Tuna runs peak in summer months. However, fishing is good year-round in Kailua-Kona due to mild climate and ocean currents.
All fishing licenses are managed by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. Charter operators typically include the required licenses and permits in their booking and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations.
