You've found the right place if you are looking for Oahu fishing report for March. As March comes closer, bottom fishing is expected to pick up. The bite is still quite low for Papio, although they are still active offshore. The winter/spring trolling season was slow. Although billfish and aku have been caught in small quantities, they are not being caught consistently. Reports indicate that small ahi and shibi are still being caught off Oahu this week. Deep 7 snappers are also being bitten by nabetas and kawakawa. Bottom fishing is the best option, and the bite will last through April.
August storm caused the papio bite to dry up completely
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. If you do manage to catch a Papio (or any other fish), filet it and serve it as sushi.
Papio being still caught off the coast
Despite disappointing oama seasons this year, papio continue to be caught off Oahu when the tides are right. They are however skeptical this year. Because of the weather conditions, they are more skittish. During that time, the papio were in smaller numbers, and they began to hunt for new oama once the storms passed. After the storms passed, the oama were piled up in large numbers and inshore fishing has slowed. The stragglers don't bother to swim in, which allows lure fishermen to catch nice-sized papio.
Papio season began late, and ended late
Oahu's papio and oama seasons have ended and begun late this year. Oama were not caught in Oahu since the fall 2016. Oahu has seen a late start to the papio/oama seasons this year. This is partly due to the La Nina continuing. 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.
Unless Oama come in, the Papio seasons will be less active.
The oama season this year began late July and ended in September. Many thought that the La Nina influence that has had an adverse effect on fishing over the last few seasons would have ended by now, but the current situation indicates that La Nina remains in place. Unless the Oama enter late in the season, the Oama season may be lower than usual.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
