Here are Oahu fishing news reports for March. Bottom fishing will increase as March nears. The bite is still quite low for Papio, although they are still active offshore. The winter/spring trolling has been slow. There have been a few billfish and some aku, but not enough to warrant catching. 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 way to go, and the bite will continue through the month of April.
August storm destroyed the papio bit completely.
Since August closes, the papio bite and oio spot numbers have dropped dramatically. In addition to the recent storm causing mud flats and changing the structure of some spots, the recent storm has also affected the structure of some spots. The next storm will improve the bite and oio spot, so keep an eye out for them. If you do catch a Papio, filet it and put it in sushi.
Papio was still taken off the shore
Papio still get caught off Oahu's shores at the right tides, despite a disappointing oama year. They are however skeptical this year. They are more skittish than normal, mainly due to the stormy, humid weather. The papio were smaller during that period, so they started to look for new oama when the storms had passed. The oama were subsequently piled in large numbers, and the inshore fishing has slowed down. The stragglers have stopped swimming in, so lure fishermen can catch a nice-sized pipio.
The Papio seasons began late and finished late
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's Oama and Papio seasons are late this year because of the La Nina. The weak La Nina continues to impact fishing overall. The bad news is the 2020 season could be one of most difficult oama/papio seasons since recent memory.
Papio season will be less active unless the Oama come in
The oama season this year began late July and ended in September. Many believed that the La Nina effect that has been affecting fishing over the last few years had ended before summer, but the current situation suggests that La Nina is still in play. That means that the oama season will be weaker than normal unless the Oama come in late in the season.

- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
