March 14, 2011 Lahaina Harbor, Maui

Aloha from Lahaina Harbor. This past week has been really peculiar and eventful. The Start Me Up fleet missed 3 days of fishing simply because of some uncharacteristic negative weather and, of program, the tsunami. In the finish, factors worked out and all of the boats are even now in perfect fishing condition, which is good due to the fact the fishing has continued to be productive. Some comparatively significant tunas have been showing up and the buoys have developed good tuna catches. There are mahis at the buoys as properly, but a majority of the mahi bites have been coming on the troll. Trolling has also resulted in very a number of billfish, most of which have been striped marlin. However, blue marlin and shortbill spearfish have been close to too as 1 of our boats truly had a triple blue marlin bite nowadays. If anyone has inquiries about the fishing, phone Start Me Up’s booth at Lahaina Harbor at 808-667-7879 between nine a.m. and five p.m. Hawaii time or email startmeupfish@gmail.com.
