Vehicle Details
Kona’s offshore waters are heating up both in temperature and activity. Water temps are hovering around 80°F, and pelagic species are responding. Anglers are seeing consistent action on skipjack tuna (aku) along the 1,000- to 1,500-fathom lines, with fish averaging 20 to 30 pounds. These bait-rich areas are drawing in bigger predators—blue marlin have been spotted regularly, with several fish in the 150- to 300-pound range caught and released in the past week. Trolling smaller lures near the bait schools has been productive, and the yellowfin tuna (ahi) are beginning to show in decent numbers, especially during the mid-morning bite. A few quality ahi in the 60- to 90-pound class were landed offshore by patient crews working deeper lines. The mixed-species bite remains solid closer to the ledges. Mahi mahi are still around in good numbers, with several boats bringing in fish up to 35 pounds. South of the airport along “Ono Lane,” the wahoo (ono) bite has picked up again, with fish in the 25- to 40-pound range hitting high-speed trolled lures along the drop-offs. Shortbill spearfish are also making appearances, especially on lighter tackle setups. Weather conditions have been favorable, with calm seas and light trades making for smooth rides and efficient drifts. This time of year offers Kona’s classic variety and the chance to hook into a true trophy.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

I've always wanted to try deep sea fishing, so I contacted Kona Dice and booked a trip. The captain and first mate got us on some fish quickly. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this trip to anyone. Had a great time!

On a 4-hour morning trip, we caught a Blue Marlin (released) and a Shortbilled Swordfish (now grilling). We hoped for another catch, but the fish weren't biting. The crew was fantastic, and we would definitely fish with them again.

We had an amazing day on the water with three generations! My son caught a once-in-a-lifetime 160 lb marlin, and the crew was incredible in helping him reel it in. It was an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to book again!

Captain Jim and the crew were top-notch! We caught a beautiful Ono, and I can't wait to grill it up. Their response time was on point. Visiting from Oregon, I wanted to experience the Kona waters while I was here. Konadice will be my first call when I come back into town! 🔥
