Kona Fishing Report
Published on May 20, 2011

Dr. Brad Hook of Kailua Hawaii catches his first blue marlin on the Humdinger during his fishing charter in Kona.  The big fish took alive bait slow trolled off the “Grounds”, a favored spot for Kona charter boats to patrol looking for big blue marlin.  Fishing in Kona is very close to the shore and the waters are normally very calm, making Kona Hawaii an excellent choice for your next deep sea fishing charter in Hawaii.  The fishing is excellent year round in Kona, and the charter boat fleet is extensive with many excellent boats to choose from.  Marlin Magazine consistently ranks Kona Hawaii a top billfishing destination world wide.  Peak season for Blue Marlin in Kona Hawaii runs from June through September, but blue marlin can be caught any day of the year here in Kona.
