You've found the right place if you are looking for Oahu fishing report for March. As March draws near, the bottom fishing will pick-up. While Papio can still be found off the shore, their bites are less frequent. The winter/spring trolling season is slow. While billfish and other aku were occasionally caught, it was not consistent. This week, though, reports indicate shibi and small ahi are still being caught off the coast of Oahu. Also, nabeta and kawakawa are biting well for Deep 7 snappers. Bottom fishing is the best choice, and the bite should continue for the entire month of April.
After August storm, Papio bite was completely gone
The papio bit and oio spots have slowed down since August, and the recent storm caused muddy flats that altered the structure and created a few spots. The next storm should improve bite and oio areas, so keep your eyes open. You can filet Papio and make sushi from it.
Papio is still being caught from the shore
Papio still get caught off Oahu's shores at the right tides, despite a disappointing oama year. They have been skeptical this year. Due to the humid, stormy weather, they are less skittish. During this time, the papio had fewer numbers and started hunting for new Oama. After the storms passed, the oama were piled up in large numbers and inshore fishing has slowed. The stragglers are not bothering to swim in, allowing lure fishermen to catch a nice sized papio.
The Papio season began late and ended late
The Oahu papio season has ended and started late this year. In fact, Oama have not been caught since fall 2016. Oahu's Oama and Papio seasons are late this year because of the La Nina. However, fishing in general continues to be affected even though the weak La Nina has not yet stopped. The bad news? 2020 will be one the most devastating oama/papio seasons for decades.
Papio season will be less active unless the Oama come in
The oama year ended in September after a long and difficult season. It began in July, and ended in September. Many believed that La Nina, which has negatively impacted fishing over the last few decades, had ended before the start of summer. However, current circumstances suggest that La Nina may still be in effect. That means that the oama season will be weaker than normal unless the Oama come in late in the season.

How To
How to perfectly cast a fishing rod
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
