Kona Report: At least 15 blues over 500 pounds reported in January

February 25, 2020 By InTheBite Editor

Jumping marlin off kona hawaii

Kona Tournaments — Fishing continues to hold steady along the Kona coast, in between cold fronts and bouts of north wind.

At least 15 blues over 500 pounds and 1 black estimated to have been 700+ were reported in January. February has generated back to back cold fronts which dropped heavy snow on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa (down to the 9,000-foot level) but it made a few days “un-fishable”, which is a rarity here.

Except for a few days when the weather disrupted the current, the fish have been there in February too, but the final tally is not yet in. The largest reported so far this month was a 700 pounder on Kona Blue. There are lots of reports of multiple marlin days, with mixes of blues and stripeys.
