Breaking News: At the start of the 2nd week of August, the reports are coming in. Oama are showing up in all the usual places and beginning to bite fairly well. It already looks like a better oama year than last year.

Early season papio are being caught with the oama and the papio bite will probably get even better in the weeks to come.

Juvenile mid-depth fish like weke nono / weke ula are showing up, and the kayak guys had a really good day Westside with the kawakawa and small mahi. Lots of annoying kawalea (deep water cudas) and aha (needlefish) are swarming the offshore baits too.

All these seem to signal that the SEASON IS ON!!!
