fly fishing and funfishing hawaii:

peacock fun for everyone.

 

don't have much time to blog as i gotta get back to some pretty important lying around and college football watching.  went out yesterday with the kirsta and whitney to the lake.  kirk and i have spent many days on the lake figuring things out and trying new things.  "serious" fishing one might say, although i don't know if  such a thing even exists with me.  yesterday it was all about getting whitney bit and just having a ridiuculously good time... and turns out it was pretty crazy.  we got a ton of good sized schooling tucs on the fly, spinning gear, and even handpoles, and if us low tech guys can figure it out, the video of some of our crazy on the water antics will be available soon.  the water has dropped a bit more but there's still water in that mudhole and if yesterday is any indication there's quite a few nice fish as well.

 

whitney got things started off with this little schoolie on the fly.

 

 

the kirsta and whitney with a little bigger one.

 

 

 

then whit gets a still bigger one!

 

 

the devil made a small appearance...

 

 

but it was the peacock's day to get pounded.

 

 

the kirksta got his licks in...

 

 

 

we growled and yelled back at the savage two fisters.

 

and smiled with satisfaction at others.

 

 

even got a little largemouth.

 

 

but the tucs were on...

 

 

 

kind of like... well donkey kong!

 

 

 

throughout the day the bite was mmm mmm gooood!

 

 

we doubled up a few times (of course the gentleman that i am, i let whitney catch the bigger fish).

 

 

and boy did she do just that.

 

 

even the bigger peacocks were no match for the wonderpole.

 

but all good things must come to an end. whitney was down to her last bait.  i told her this is how all great fishing tales start.

 

"it was the last bait."

 

and wouldn't you know it...

 

 

 

the cat reared it's ugly head!  i'm totally not kidding, that's exactly how it went down.  i can't help but think that cat was tom, just smiling down on us and his lake.  just saying hey.  i'm really gonna miss that guy.  good times.
