How to catch Shortbill Spearfish
Pelagic Longline
Pelagic longline is a type of gear useful in the ocean to target certain fish species. It’s a common method used to catch spearfish in the open waters of Hawaii. You can do a shallow-set longline or deep-set longline. Generally, the hooks attach to the floating lines using flagpoles or buoys.
Pelagic Hook-and-the-line
This method uses a pole, line, and live bait. The shortbill fish typically feed on:
- Mullet
- Small tunas
- Mackerel
- Squid
- Crustaceans
Trolling live bait
In this fishing method, a fishing line with lures is thrown into the water. Since there’s no universal trolling speed, a boat can troll at speeds of 4 to 7 knots, depending on the sea conditions.
