Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:26 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Wailuku

Wailuku, Maui sits between Kahului Harbor and the lush West Maui Mountains, giving anglers access to productive shoreline, harbor, and freshwater fishing within a short drive. Most local effort focuses on papio and ulua (trevally species) from the rocks, mixed reef fish for the table, and offshore pelagics for those with boat access out of nearby Kahului.

Seasonal patterns around Wailuku are driven more by surf and wind than water temperature. Winter brings larger north swells that can make some north-facing rock ledges hazardous but often pushes bait into the harbor and more protected pockets, improving papio, akule, and barracuda action on calmer days. Spring stabilizes conditions and is a prime time for consistent shoreline papio and goatfish. Summer and early fall typically offer the calmest water and best opportunity for nighttime ulua soaking from deeper ledges, plus offshore tuna, mahi, and ono activity for boats headed out of Kahului Harbor.

Key habitats include the rocky shoreline west and east of Kahului Harbor, reef edges, and deep drop-offs just outside the harbor entrance. These areas hold papio, omilu, and mixed reef species such as goatfish, wrasse, and triggerfish. Inside and just outside the harbor, schools of akule and opelu attract jacks and barracuda at dawn and dusk. Inland, Κ»Δͺao Stream and small tributaries can offer ultra-light freshwater action, primarily for invasive species and occasional stocked trout in cooler months at selected reaches.

Shoreline techniques around Wailuku are dominated by three approaches: dunking bait, slide-baiting, and casting lures. For casual sessions from the rocks, a medium spinning outfit with 20–30 lb braid or mono, a 1–3 oz sinker, and a short leader to an octopus or shrimp bait will pick up goatfish, small jacks, and assorted reef fish. For serious ulua hunters, heavier conventional gear with 60–100 lb mainline, long shock leaders, and slide-bait rigs deployed from high rock points at dusk and into the night is the standard method when swell allows safe footing.

Lure anglers do well working the early-morning and late-afternoon tides with metal jigs, surface plugs, and soft plastics along reef edges and harbor mouths. Fast, erratic retrieves with small jigs and casting spoons imitate fleeing baitfish and draw strikes from papio and barracuda. In clearer, calmer conditions, downsizing to 10–20 lb fluorocarbon leaders and smaller lures often produces more bites from wary fish on the reefs.

Freshwater and light-tackle options near Wailuku center on Κ»Δͺao Stream and nearby ditches and reservoirs, where ultra-light spinning tackle, small barbless hooks, and natural baits or tiny soft plastics can produce tilapia, small catfish, and other exotics. Focus on deeper pools, undercut banks, and current seams, especially after modest rain when flows increase but water remains fishable.

Practical tips for fishing Wailuku include watching swell forecasts carefully before fishing exposed rock ledges, arriving well before first light to secure productive spots, and using fresh, local baits whenever possible. Pay close attention to water color changes, current lines, and baitfish activity around Kahului Harbor and adjacent shorelinesβ€”these subtle signs often pinpoint where papio schools and predators are actively feeding.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 11 beaches and bays in this area.

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 2 main harbours in this area.
