Kevin Mita with a 29” Omilu

Aloha Taggers,

Happy May. We had 33 fish tagged and it feels like summer is already here. There are oama showing up, and lots of fish being caught already. What changes on the water are you seeing?

The Hilo moon phase in April was a productive day across the board. A very thin crescent directly after the full moon.

Some of the great catches this month below.
