What’s biting
Each species is scored against its own water-temperature range and tide preference, then wind, weather and warnings. The rules are Hawaii regulations for these waters.
Right in giant trevally's ideal range. Giant trevally prefers incoming tide. Light chop — baitfish active, fish willing to feed. Holds 5–100 ft down.
Keep
10" minimum · 20 a day
Open. Keep fish within the limits. Ulua and pāpio: 10" minimum, 20 a day of all ulua and pāpio species combined (non-commercial); 16" minimum for sale. No closed season.
Right in bonefish's ideal range. Bonefish prefers incoming tide. Light chop — baitfish active, fish willing to feed. Holds 1–10 ft down.
Keep
14" minimum · no daily limit
Open. Keep fish within the limits. ʻŌʻio: 14" minimum statewide, no bag limit and no closed season. Marine life conservation districts and fishery management areas have their own rules.
Solunar tables are a popular heuristic. A peer-reviewed test found they don’t predict catch on their own, so here they only nudge the score when the tide or moon already agree. How the score works
