UFO Fishing and Adventures: Maui Fishing Report – Whales on the Horizon & Mahi Madness!

Aloha anglers!

What an unbelievable stretch of fishing we’re having here in Maui. If you’ve been thinking about getting out on the water, now is the time—conditions have been incredible and the ocean has been putting on a show that even longtime captains are calling one of the best in years.

Whales Everywhere!

Our winter visitors have officially arrived and each day on the water brings multiple sightings of humpback whales cruising, breaching, tail-slapping and vocalizing throughout the channels. Nothing beats the feeling of watching these giants surface while you’re fighting a fish—pure Maui magic.

Mahi Mahi Bite is Red Hot

The star of this month’s fishing? Mahi mahi—lots of them.

We’ve been hooking into steady numbers on almost every trip, with fish ranging from beautiful school-sized dorado to big bulls lighting up neon green and electric blue right at the boat. The action has been fast, fun, and perfect for anglers of all experience levels.
