bonefishing hawaii:

winter is here.

went out today to kahala with the nwff crew e.t. and surfa boy craig.  we decided on kahala because... well why not?  we got out around ten or eleven.  the wind was blowing pretty good out of the east and it was cold (well “hawaii kine” cold).  we got dumped on a couple of times by passing showers but there was also some sun.  for the first time this year, i felt like it was winter bonefishing in hawaii.

i fished the loomis roaring river switch 8wt..  there wasn’t much in the way of spotting fish. although we did get some good light, we didn’t see a fish.  so i turned up the tunes on my mp3 player and let the bombing begin.  there were a bunch of divers out looking for tako which i don’t think have really come in yet and a couple of other fly guys out.  it was good to see so many people having fun and getting after it despite the sketch weather.

well by the time the whistle blew (which was much later than any of us really wanted to stay out but we did because no one wanted to flinch first) we all got fish.  craig got one on the orange jiggy bone bug that ate while he was falling backward from a wave and e.t. found a couple using his (if there is a fish on this flat i will find it technique) and an orange dubbed charlie.  i more or less stayed in one place the entire time practicing my spey casts and grooving to old skool alternative rock tunes.  i got a visit from my buddy the trumpet which has been a bit rarer than usual this year and managed to get a bonefish to boot.

that’s about it, if i don’t blog again... hope all the peeps out there have a chillaxing holiday season, peace on earth, merry christmas to all and to all a good bite.

doot doo doo doo!  introducing mister trumpet.
