bonefish and fly fishing hawaii:

pretty much the same as last week.

...and so the fall goes on, for me at least, with another week of fishing which turned out to be almost a carbon copy of last week.  one day with lots of fish the next with nothing and the lady of the lake being one tough gal.

went out with e.t. to ke’ehi on wednesday.  lots of fish around and we did okay for the fast rising tide that we were dealt.  ran into jay at the launch, who also reported that he had decent bonefishing.  we pressed our luck and checked out the early morning rise the next day at hi kai.  bad maneuver.  we ended up seeing very little and coming up empty.  just the wrong day.  so the bonefishing is still hit or miss.  everyday is different.  i just got off the phone with e.t. who reported that he got four fish with his clients yesterday and got a nice double digit fish this morning out at hi kai.  so you just never know what to expect these days.  i do have a sneaky suspicion that the return of the trades may stabilize things a bit out there in the great wide open.

checked out the lake with the kirksta on friday and the lake was also off.  the water had come down quite a bit from the last time i was out, still not much of anything going on.  in the later afternoon the peacocks turned on a little but it was still tough.  kirk caught a bunch of tucs on a swimming plug.  i hooked two on the fly but managed to lose both of them in the woods (just had to work off a little bad karma i think... it happens sometimes).  gonna take a couple of days off from pounding and get back to it sometime next week.

e.t. in his normal pose on the flat... hooked up!

kirk's friday tucs. 

there's fall fish out there just waiting... so go get them and, as always, good times.
