Marlin Fishing in and around the island of Oahu, Hawaii
Blue and Black Marlin are large apex predators, they are in charge and when hooked they adopt an angry attitude that says I'm going to kick somebody's butt. A marlin's primary diet is tuna and wherever tuna congregate you can expect to find marlin.

The large schools of Skipjack and Yellowfin tuna that take up residence on the Makaha Coast are marlin magnets and Shannon and the crew of the "Live Bait" know how to catch them. Unlike the boats coming from Waikiki, Haleiwa, Ko Olina, Pearl Harbor or Honolulu which primarily use the troll and pray methom of Marlin Fishing, the "Live Bait" uses a live skipjack tuna and because the "Live Bait" doesn't have a several hour run to get to or from the area Shannon will often catch a marlin (or two) long before the other charter boats arrive and long after they leave.

Along with Black and Blue Marlin a lot of other billfish frequent the Waianae coast of Oahu and the "Live Bait" catches lot's of Striped Marlin and Spearfish and occasionally a sailfish. Schools of Billfish are fairly common in the calm waters along the Makaha coast. The "Live Bait" caught the biggest marlin in the 2008 "Ahi Fever" Fishing tournament on Oahu, Hawaii and also in the 2010 Ahi Fever Tournament.
