Mahi Mahi
The Dolphin, also referred to as Mahi-Mahi or Dorado, is one of the most colorful fish in the ocean, it’s also one of the fastest growing fish in the ocean. They’re eating machines migrating throughout Hawaiian Island waters foraging through the weed of the ocean, called Sargasso weed or sargussum weed, eating baitfish that are feeding on tiny shrimp, seahorses and other micro-organisms that are imbedded in the weed. Although Dolphin will be caught year-round off the coast of Honolulu we catch the big ones on April, May and June. The Dolphin travellin in schools usually weigh between 5 and 10 pounds, when you get into a school they frenzy, it’s not unusual to have everybody on board hooked-up at the same time, it gets wild. The larger Dolphin travel in smaller groups or pairs, some of these fish will go 40 to 60 pounds. The male Dolphin has a big square head and is referred to as a Bull Dolphin, the female has a rounded head and is referred to as a Cow Dolphin. The only thing better than catchin Dolphin is eating them, no-matter how you cook’em fresh Dolphin always taste great !
Tuna

The Tuna fishing is excellent off the coast of Honolulu, Hi during the spring and summer months but we catch’em year-round. We catch Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna and Bonita. The Yellowfin Tuna will start showing up on the east side of the Oahu in April and continue through August. June/July is prime time for Yellowfins and they range in size from 35 to 75 pounds but it’s not uncommon to hook’em over 100 pounds. The Yellowfin Tuna is one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean and they taste great on a plate making them one of my favorite fish to catch. The Yellowfin Tuna will be 15-20 miles off the beach of Waikiki and The Mazeltov Sportfishing is the perfect combination of speed, comfort and fish-ability for unforgettable Tuna day!

Striped Marlin
Being a little smaller than its Pacific Blue cousin, what the Striped Marlin loses in fighting force it more than makes up for in beauty. Nairagi is commonly known as striped marlin, or a`u, the Hawaiian name applied to all marlin species. It has the slenderest bill and the most visible “stripes” of all billfish and a high, pointed dorsal fin and more compressed sides. The flesh color of striped marlin varies from fish to fish and varies from light pink to orange-red. Fish with orange-red flesh are particularly desired for the sashimi market. Nairagi with pink to light-colored flesh are bought for up-scale restaurants. It is considered the finest eating of all marlin species because of its tender flesh. Nairagi caught around the Hawaiian Islands usually between 40 and 100 pounds in round weight and are rarely over 130 pounds.

The Blue Marlin is the most revered sport fish on the planet and you’ll never forget each and every one you’re lucky enough to catch. April, May June and July are the top four months for catching Blue Marlin off the coast of Honolulu Hi., especially around the full moons. Although we’ve caught Blue Marlin just 8 miles off the beach in 200 to 300 feet of water most of the Blue Marlin we catch off the coast of Honolulu HI are found in the deeper waters off of Diamond Head. Blue Marlin will usually be found feeding on schooling dolphin and tunas 15 to 25 miles offshore in 1200 to 1500 feet of water off the coast of Honolulu Hi.
