You've found the right place if you are looking for Oahu fishing report for March. As March draws near, the bottom fishing will pick-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. However, reports suggest that shibi and small-sized ahi continue to be caught off Oahu. Deep 7 snappers are also being bitten by nabetas and kawakawa. Bottom fishing is the best and will continue throughout April.
After August storm, Papio bite was completely gone
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 following storm, however, should improve the bite and oio spots, so keep your eyes peeled for them. If you do catch a Papio fish, you can filet it and then make sushi with it.
Papio being still caught off the coast
Despite disappointing oama seasons this year, papio continue to be caught off Oahu when the tides are right. They are however skeptical this year. Due to the humid, stormy weather, they are less skittish. During that time, the papio were in smaller numbers, and they began to hunt for new oama once the storms passed. 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.
The Papio seasons began late and finished late
Oahu's Papaio season started and ended in late 2016. In fact, Oama haven't been caught since 2016 fall. Oahu's Oama and Papio seasons are late this year 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 is the 2020 season could be one of most difficult oama/papio seasons since recent memory.
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. If the Oama are not in season late, the Oama season could be much weaker than usual.
