September 2015 Hunting Fishing Report

Overall, the Sportfishing in Kona this year has been fantastic. We are experiencing an extremely strong El Nino condition in the Eastern Pacific ocean, which has consistently kept our water temperatures in the mid to high 80’s, concentrating baitfish and the bigger species like Blue Marlin, Ono (Wahoo) and Tuna in the area. While you have probably read a lot lately about the large number of very large hurricanes and typhoons that have formed in the Pacific this year, generally speaking, those storms have steered around the islands and despite a bit of rain and high humidity, we were unaffected as Kona lies on the protected side of the island in the shadow of three large volcanoes. The fishing on Kona happens very close to shore and the water conditions most days are extremely calm.
Expect the water temperatures to remain warm well into October, November and December this year which should extend our prime time fishing for Blue Marlin and Tuna a few months into the holiday season this year because of the El Nino conditions.
