If you are looking for Oahu fishing reports for the month of March, then you've come to the right place. As the month of March approaches, bottom fishing will pick up. While Papio can still be found off the shore, their bites are less frequent. 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 also enjoy the bite of nabeta or kawakawa. Bottom fishing is the best option, and the bite will last through 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 following storm, however, should improve the bite and oio spots, so keep your eyes peeled for them. You can filet Papio and make sushi from it.
Papio is still being caught from the shore
Despite the disappointing oama season, papio can still be caught off Oahu at the correct tides. They are however skeptical this year. Due to the humid, stormy weather, they are less skittish. The papio were much smaller at that time, so they moved on to hunting for new oama. 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 Season began late and ended later
Papio season on Oahu has started and ended late this year, and in fact, oama have not been caught since the fall of 2016. Oahu has seen a late start to the papio/oama seasons this year. This is partly due to the La Nina continuing. Actually, fishing is still being affected by the weak La Nina. The bad news? 2020 will be one the most devastating oama/papio seasons for decades.
Unless Oama are in, the Papio Season will be less active.
The oama-season this year started in July and ended around September. Many thought that the La Nina influence that has had an adverse effect on fishing over the last few seasons would have ended by now, but the current situation indicates that La Nina remains in place. That means that the oama season will be weaker than normal unless the Oama come in late in the season.

The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
