  • Bait schools were very scattered in the morning so it took me an hour to catch five opelu. One ended up drowning in the bait tube so I was left with four baits. Dropped my first bait out on a wire rig because I heard that nobody is catching Ahis anymore and that ono's are the most common pelagic being caught. About 20 minutes later something took my bait and I assumed it was a shark because it felt heavy and didn't dive down to the bottom, kinda just held it's ground near the top of the water. To my surprise as I pulled it up it was a 30-40 pound yellow fin tuna, being excited to pull it into the boat I made a huge mistake of not letting it take any line when it got close and had still had some fight left in it. My 40 pound leader was no match and it broke off right at the boat . Two of my other baits were stolen most likely by Aha's. Last bait I dropped in got slammed in 250ft , it put up very little fight but was a nice 8-10 pound Kawa Kawa which was turned into delicious spicy jerky.

      Depends on the season . Summer is hard to find them and Winter is easy. Its all about putting in the time and you'll figure it out just go slow and be patient,

      Opelu generally hang in the same area. so if you find some mark area. bite best real early morning or afternoon starting 330 pm on, I found. when in a real tight ball on finder, I find they dont bite well. when they spread out midwater bite better. I used Garmin striker 4, good like 150. small compact does the job, I use noqua battery. I generally find them 90 to 170 ft shallower schools easier to hook I find.

      @@AK-ms5zk what you fishing from? Had a AI kayak. sold that. wish i bought an inflatable first. better and less cost. took a 2 k hit when I sold. which the kayak used motor and set up was only 2k for the inflatable. The one at costco. wish I bought it years ago when I saw it locally was under 700. now not found locally . got costco online 770, tax plus 120 shipping. but arrived at door in less than a week. running 4hp yamaha. have a 2.5 suzuki. 3 gallon external tank, good for a couple trips. filling up internal tank at sea. did that once. hassle. Found a good spot, windward side , In 3 trips, aku, rainbow runner, ono, mahi, 4 ft aha, and 30 lb uku. monster . caught that on friday. was crazy rough windward side. handled ok, just soaked all day. So what side you been fishing?

      @@jremodel9294 30# uku is at the upper end, but yea I got a Newport vessel 9.5 with a 5 Hp tohatsu. I realized early on that the kayak guys have an advantage finding bait because they’re like ninjas quietly slipping over them not disturbing random balls, but i as a lifelong beginner figured out to copy the boat guys and more or lessish kinda found the opelu akule spot/ko’a 🤷🏾‍♂️, also found like jigging and dragging plastics because I’m to slow for skirts but a beefed up yozuri bangs at 4 knots everything aku, uku, ulua, omilu, mahi, rats, even blue bone like you said and with a 5 Hp 1.5 gal is 8 hrs trolling and jigging stationary. So I’ve kinda evolved from live bait and pelagics to like artificials and angling it’s wierd but it’s cheap and subsistence and fair weathe only but yea that’s me/us we’re in Hilo, eh Mahalo again ✌🏾
