Hawaii Employs FADs to Attract Massive Sportfish

Posted: Friday, September 01, 2017 at 11:45 AM CDT

Haleiwa, HI -- (SBWire) -- 09/01/2017 --Flyer Sportfishing, one of the best companies providing high-quality Hawaii deep sea fishing experiences, is advising adventurous fishers to book their trips now, as government-sponsored FADs have been increasing large fish activity throughout Oahu. This makes now an ideal time for fishers who are looking to step outside their comfort zones to try their hand at sport fishing in Hawaii, as massive schools of Ahi, Mahi Mahi, and Blue Marlin move into the area.

Fish aggregation devices (FADs) are used to attract schools of fish to a particular area. They are usually secured to the ocean floor with concrete and are composed of a buoy secured with a chain, which floats below the surface of the water. Small fish are attracted to floating objects because they help them to navigate the deepest parts of the ocean, and they provide a cover of protection from predators. When smaller schools of fish begin to amass around the FAD, they attract larger fish looking to feed. This creates a food chain right where the FAD is placed.

Right now, the government has placed a number of FADs around the Oahu area to attract larger fish, and fishers have seen yellow fin tuna weighing up to 200 pounds attracted by the feeding frenzy of the FAD.

Fishers looking to experience the thrills of deep sea fishing in a tropical location are encouraged to call Flyer Sportfishing at 808-365-2520 to learn more about FADs and to set up their own fishing excursion today.
