Kahawai – can be caught on virtually any bait if they are around in numbers. Will take lures and live-baits. Often found around river mouths. When feeding in schools they will attack anything that moves. I’ve seen them caught on a bare hook trailing a strip of tinfoil! Good fighters on light tackle, reasonable eating if bled and chilled immediately apon capture.

Schools of Kahawai are often accompanied by gulls diving at the baitfish they chase up.
