When most people think of Hawaii, they think of sandy beaches, tans, and surfing. When some people think of Hawaii, they think of fishing. By the way, the latter rather than the former are my type of people. Hawaii fishing has a ton of wonderful things to offer and some of the most picturesque scenery that you'll find anywhere on earth. People think of Hawaii as paradise, and rightly so, they should also think of it as a fishing paradise. Hawaii fishing has something for everyone.
Hawaii fishing consists mainly of saltwater fishing, but there is freshwater fishing available as well. Because of the fact that Hawaii is a series of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it's understandable that deep sea and saltwater fishing in general is the main focus of the state of Hawaii. As a matter of fact Kona is widely considered the Blue Marlin capitol of the world.
Whether you're looking for that big trophy catch of a lifetime, some delicious fish to take home or just wanting to catch fish after fish after fish until your arms feel as if they won't work, Hawaii is the place for you. The saltwater fishing in the ocean surrounding the island of Hawaii is difficult to beat anywhere in the world.
If you want to fish for Blue Marlin the best time to visit is July. The best time for Black Marlin and Yellow fin Tuna is May. If Mahi-mahi, Big eye Tuna, or Grouper is what you're looking for, November is your best bet. And if Wahoo is what you're after, August is the best time to catch them. The bottom line is that whatever type of saltwater fish you may be interested in catching and no matter what time of year it is, the state of Hawaii will be happy to oblige.
Hawaii is one of the worlds top deep sea fishing destinations and it's the geography of the Big Island that makes Kona Hawaii the sport fishing capital of the Pacific. Five huge mountain masses protect the Kona coast from the winds resulting in sea conditions that are usually very calm. This is not so good for the surfers, but very nice for fishermen. Hawaii fishing is as fine as can be found anywhere, and as I said the weather and scenery aren't too bad either.
