Kona Hawaii fishing report – Jan. wrap-up
Marlin about 1000 lbs., identified as granders are often caught all about the world. Some are taken and some are launched but here in Hawaii, we only rely the types that are truly weighted in. Some of the captains right here have built the declare that they caught and unveiled a grander and because of their expertise, you can take their phrase for it that they did in truth launch a grander but others who have produced a declare to have released a grander are acquired with skepticism. Appropriate before the near of 2011 the term went out that there was a achievable grander coming to the scales for weigh in. I didnt adhere all around for the weigh in but identified out the up coming day that it only weighed in at 608 lbs. The crew on the boat is skilled so it didnt make any sense why they believed it would make the grander mark but they only had egg on their faces for a small while due to the fact just 8 times later on, they truly caught 1 and weighed in the very first grander of 2012 at 1040 lbs. Hawaiis very first official grander was caught and weighted in 1954 and the depend has continued at an average of a bit about 2 for each yr considering that. Hawaii Fishing Information keeps the grander tally on their world wide web site so now ended up up to 128 of them in Hawaii.
The striped marlin bite isnt very excellent at all as we method the middle of their season (bummer) but the spearfish showed up correct on time and have been a relatively frequent catch. Ive said it right here before and Im declaring it yet again, people spearfish are one of the best consuming fish there is! We had another little ono spurt this 30 days and a number of mahi mahi are nevertheless coming in. The yellowfin tuna are nonetheless hanging on the ledges and FADs but the numbers and dimensions have dropped from very last month.
The bottom bite has been a great deal far better these days with a great assortment of fish but theres barely any bait fish at the bottom fishing grounds so Ive been really going to the closest FAD to the harbor for bait. Its in the reverse course from the bottom fishing grounds but the bait fish have been straightforward to catch along with the occasional eating measurement yellowfin as a bonus. Ive also selected a couple of spearfish off the buoy whilst catching the bait fish and yesterday we got a spearfish on one particular of the bait rods. It was some good mild deal with motion and the spearfish built a number of jumps. Thats something that they almost never do on our standard measurement deal with and the a lot more a fish jumps, the a lot more probably it will occur off but fortunately I had a good angler that was ready to deal with it so its spearfish for supper tonight :p
Previous month I talked about the NLOM web website that predicts the speed and path of the currents and I stated that they have been fairly accurate and that with handful of exceptions they ended up proper on the money. Id now like to retract that statement and go back again to theres no way to predict it. Their predictions are updated the moment a week and they have their mature predictions on the website also. Not only have been their authentic predictions way off for most of January but even their most current latest data(not a typo) is wrong. Ill still be checking their web website often for reference but surely not relying on it to be exact.
See ya on the h2o ,

Offshore Venice LA
The surprise of the day was caught on a jig for certain and it was a first for me. I was attempting to jig up wahoo and 1 of the guys received a strong hookup and you could tell it was kinda weighty but it didnt run like a wahoo or blackfin. It arrived up on the facet and I saw a sharkfin and was dissapointed. Then it received a tiny nearer and it was a little mako that had eaten the jig. I received one good photograph of it at the facet of the boat ahead of it chewed through the aid hook. It was only about twenty-thirty pounds I would guess.

Buoy and Boat Drifters!
Last yr in December the very first 44066/TT4 buoy broke loose by the Hudson Canyon and transmitted for numerous months ahead of really going silent. But this buoy was 800 miles or so from the authentic mooring and heading in direction of Europe alongside the 39th parallel. My unscientific thought was that if it adopted that northern edge of the Gulf Stream it would strike along the coast of Portugal.
It was relocating fairly speedily final calendar year but it has not been observed of because. I even emailed a shipping business in the Azores looking for their lookout for this yellow bobber.
So far no sighting.
Almost a yr later 44066 #2 broke unfastened following only several weeks in position because November. Unfastened once more? Terrible knots? Tough seas? Other?
I had visited NDBC previous 12 months and commented on the mooring and was advised that they have carried out hundreds of these and the real line was created to maintain the pressure and has under far more severe locations.
I was informed offhandedly by a supply at NDBC that they suspect sabotage.
I discover it tough to feel but who knows. Why would any person want to dislodge an crucial information provider? Maybe like Manslaughter. It just transpired by blunder?
In any circumstance, 44066 #2 has taken a various path. It is shifting SE from its authentic mooring of 39 35N x 072 36W. Yesterday is was positioned 38 42 x 071 8
This is around 100 miles drifting in the twenty days since it broke free of charge. Figure moving five miles a day. It is closer to the location of the previous 44004, Resort Buoy than to our shores.
The aged Lodge Buoy broke free ( that is how we got the new a single) and ultimately drifted to the Bermuda region. ( Bermuda Triangle any individual?). The 44066 #two is moving is a related direction but this could modify anyhow.
Now is nearly due south of Block Canyon, in about 1500 fathoms of water. No mans land.
It took 3 years for the Regulator (original fastboats Middle console) to get to the other continent. That offers 44066 #1 another 2 several years to reach that coastline ( if at all), and it gives the 44066 #two numerous months to get a shine on in the Caribbean if that one particular follows the path of the Hotel Buoy.
Well just to have to wait around and see wherever every single a single lands. Way too terrible there wasnt a black box on these to report movements immediately after the transmitting has stopped.
But for now the 44066 is nevertheless alive and ideally it will continue to be chatting so we can adhere to its development.
In the meanwhile outreach has been made to ocean likely vessels to attempt to spot this errant buoy and see what harm it has sustained. If not much, I think it will make re-deployment less complicated and significantly less expensive. Fingers crossed. Maintain an eye out!
See asset map from Maracoos and the placement yesterday underneath as nicely as the arrows indicating the route of the current. Fun to adhere to and guess wherever it may go subsequent.Attachment 212196Attachment 212195

coating for hooks ????????
After I rinse off my lures that I use for off shore trolling I think it is a good idea to coat the non-stainless hooks with some defense. What to use ???? WD forty (I noticed it has fish oil and can truly be an attractant) silicone spray, olive oil cooking spray ?????????
