Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:28 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Honolulu

Honolulu fishing centers around deep, blue water that drops off quickly just outside the harbor, plus sheltered inshore reefs and flats along Oʻahu’s south shore. This combination makes it possible to troll for blue marlin at dawn, then chase bonefish or trevally on the flats by afternoon, all within sight of Waikīkī.

Seasonal patterns are subtle because water temperatures stay warm, but species peak at different times. Pacific blue marlin, yellowfin tuna (ahi), and big mahimahi are prime from late spring through fall, when currents push rich blue water close to Honolulu. Winter brings more striped marlin, spearfish, and consistent wahoo (ono), along with slightly rougher seas. Inshore, reef fish, trevally, and bonefish remain catchable year-round, with early morning and late evening tides producing the best action regardless of month.

Offshore, most anglers launch from Kewalo Basin Harbor or Honolulu Harbor, reaching 1,000-foot depths within a short run. Typical tactics focus on trolling: skirted lures in staggered patterns for marlin and ahi, small feathers and daisy chains for skipjack (aku), and high-speed trolling for ono along defined current lines or ledges. Watch for color changes, floating debris, and bird piles—especially shearwaters and terns—which often mark active tuna and mahimahi schools. Many Honolulu captains also carry live bait to pitch at fish that suddenly appear in the spread.

Nearshore around Honolulu, lava ledges, patch reefs, and man-made structure hold a mix of snapper, goatfish, trevally, and reef jacks. Light to medium spinning outfits rigged with 20–30 lb braid and fluorocarbon leaders are versatile for bottom fishing and casting lures. Simple rigs with small hooks and cut bait or squid produce steady action on reef species. When targeting bigger trevally, upgrade leaders and use topwater plugs, stickbaits, or heavy jigs worked aggressively along drop-offs, harbor entrances, and rocky points.

For shore-bound anglers, the south shore offers productive options. At night, sandy areas near channels and reefs can give shots at giant trevally (ulua) using stout tackle, long casts, and fresh bait on the bottom. During daylight, lighter spinning gear with small jigs, shrimp imitations, and surface lures catches aholehole, smaller trevally, and various reef fish from piers, rock walls, and accessible points. Move frequently until you find current and bait activity, then focus casts on edges where sand meets rock or reef.

Honolulu’s flats and shallow lagoons hold wary bonefish (ʻoio) that demand stealth. Sight-fishing on a flooding tide with polarizing sunglasses gives the best chance of spotting cruisers. Use long leaders, weight-forward flies, or small natural-colored jigs and present well ahead of the fish. Stay low, wade quietly, and keep casts accurate—these bonefish are large but heavily pressured and quick to spook.

Whether you book a full-day bluewater charter or work the shoreline at sunrise, success around Honolulu comes from reading the water, matching tackle to the specific habitat, and timing your efforts around tides, current, and early or late low-light periods when predatory fish feed most confidently.

The Best Fishing Spots around Honolulu

Sand Island

Sand Island’s outer shoreline and rock revetments offer strong current lanes that hold ulua, moi, and bonefish; anglers work plugs and bait into the channels facing Honolulu Harbor and the outer reef, with dusk and night bites often best.

Waikiki Beach

Honolulu’s most famous shoreline, Waikiki Beach offers accessible shore fishing for papio/ulua (trevally), moi, needlefish, and occasional barracuda along the groins and deeper pockets at dawn and dusk; light tackle with small baitfish or lures works well, and the consistent foot access makes it a convenient alternative to boat-oriented grounds like Kewalo Basin.

Ala Moana Beach

Sheltered by an outer reef, Ala Moana Beach has a long, fishable frontage where anglers target trevally, goatfish, and reef species; evenings and tide changes shine for whipping and bait fishing, and its central location between Waikiki and Downtown Honolulu keeps it perennially popular.

Magic Island

The rocky points and lagoon edges around Magic Island produce papio, moi, and occasional bonefish (ō‘io); anglers fan-cast small metals or soft plastics along the drop-offs at sunrise, with nighttime bait soaks drawing larger predators just inside the reef near Ala Moana.

Kewalo Basin

A busy harbor and launch point for charters, Kewalo Basin gives access to nearshore and offshore action; from the jetties and walls you’ll find trevally, ladyfish, and reef fish, while boats quickly reach pelagics like mahi-mahi and ono beyond the shelf toward Maunalua Bay.

Honolulu Harbor

Along the accessible harbor edges and nearby piers, anglers encounter trevally, snapper (to‘au/ta‘ape), and seasonal barracuda; night fishing around lights can be productive, and the deep, moving water contrasts with calmer spots like Ala Moana.

Maunalua Bay

A broad, accessible bay in East Honolulu, Maunalua Bay supports shore and small-craft fishing for trevally, bonefish, and reef species; kayaks and skiffs launch easily to drift edges and patch reefs, while shore anglers stalk flats near Hawai‘i Kai on incoming tides.

Makapu‘u Point

Exposed and deep, Makapu‘u Point attracts powerful predators like ulua, ono (seasonally), and big barracuda; experienced rock anglers cast heavy metals and plugs into blue water close to shore, a dramatic contrast to the protected beaches of Waikiki.

Ala Wai Canal

This urban waterway adjacent to Waikiki offers a mix of tilapia, barracuda, trevally, and occasional jack crevalle moving with the tides; anglers work small jigs and bait along bridges and current seams, and it pairs well with quick sessions at nearby Waikiki Beach.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Honolulu area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 12 wharf(s) in this area.

Pacific Mail Steamship Company Wharf (historical) - 0.72154707481km , Brewers Wharf (historical) - 0.73237161989km , Sorensens Wharf (historical) - 0.7504016514km , Eames Wharf (historical) - 0.79407597351km , Oceanic Steamship Company Wharf (historical) - 0.79818212836km , Wilder Company's Wharf (historical) - 0.83800187868km , Inter Island SN Company's Wharf (historical) - 0.84458320531km , Berth Number 2B - 1.12068154352km , Berth Number 2A - 1.18666748976km , Berth Number 14 - 1.26301632259km , Berth Number 18 - 1.68199367499km , Berth 24 - 1.82413992713km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 22 main harbours in this area.
