If you are looking for Oahu fishing reports for the month of March, then you've come to the right place. As March gets closer, bottom fishing will pick back up. Although papio are still available off the coast, the bite is not as prolific. The spring and winter trolling seasons have been slow. Billfish and aku were caught in smaller numbers, but not consistently. According to reports, shibis and small ahi were still being caught off Oahu last week. Deep 7 snapper fishermen also love nabeta, kawakawa and other squid. Bottom fishing is the best choice, and the bite should continue for the entire month of April.
August storm caused the papio bite to dry up completely
Papio bite and oio spots have suddenly dwindled since August closed, and the recent storm has caused muddy flats and changed the structure of some spots. The next storm should improve bite and oio areas, so keep your eyes open. If you do catch a Papio, filet it and put it in sushi.
Papio is still being caught from the shore
Despite the disappointing oama season, papio can still be caught off Oahu at the correct tides. However, they have been skeptics this year. The stormy, humid weather makes them more cautious than usual. The papio were much smaller at that time, so they moved on to 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 later
Papio season on Oahu has started and ended late this year, and in fact, oama have not been caught since the fall of 2016. Oahu's papio, oama season has been very late this year due to the La Nina. However, fishing continues to be affected by the weak La Nina. Unfortunately, the 2020 season will have one of the most severe oama-papio seasons in recent memories.
Unless the Oama arrive, Papio season won't be as active.
The oama-season this year started in July and ended around 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.
Strategies to catch fish on Oahu

How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. Drying the items thoroughly before placing them in storage is a good way to avoid this. You should also avoid touching the item's surfaces when cleaning. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. You may need to use solvents or detergents that are specific to your gear. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. However, if you're worried about removing stains, you should consider using a stain remover. Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some of them are meant to deal with small amounts of grease, while others are intended to handle larger quantities. You can choose the one that fits your needs the best.
