February 2026
Keith Kamikawa’s 22” Oio
Aloha Taggers,
Thanks for starting the year off strong. We had some beautiful weather with the cold fronts north of the island and now turning into strong winds and wet days. Hope everyone has been able to get out and fish!
We had 14 fish tagged in January.
While not specific to tagging - PIFG is helping host an upcoming Shark Depredation Forum on February 10th 2026 from 530-830pm at Ala Moana Hotel (parking validated). Please reach out if you might be able to attend so we can catch up at the event. If you’re not able to make it and have something you want to shark about sharks, email us as well at pacificfisheries@gmail.com Link to event information here.
