bonefishing hawaii:

bonefish updates.

 

just a couple of fast thangs to report for those who care to know.  sean went on a little solo mission to kbay on monday.  he checked in with a couple of fish including a nice kbay niner.  as most of you know, the boy is a bit of a workaholic (unlike others involved in the whole shady nervous water operation who, once again, shall remain nameless).  the ny giants won on sunday and he got that nice fatty to boot... always like to hear about the boy having some good times.  i’ll try to wrestle sean into posting the fly he used, but being that he used to be a wrestler, i can’t promise anything... stay tuned.

 

yesterday i did my once a month or so trek out to hi kai.  while driving out there doug lum called so i met up with him for the short, till dark, bombarama session.  we fished an area that i haven’t fished in maybe five years (maybe more) as i tend to try to avoid the “popular” spots.  i was a little sketch about it because it’s not exactly the kind of water that i personally would call prime bombing grounds.  i ended up going anyway, mostly because i hadn’t been out there in a long time.  it turned out to be pretty good.  we got into a school of cookie cutter rats.  we caught a bunch of them and lost a couple of potentially larger fish (the world will never know).  of course doug, being in the middle of a hot summer streak, hooked twice as many fish as i did (sometimes like that).  for you seekers of the holy grail, it was actually the red eye on doug’s fly (sorry doug, did i let out the secret?) that allowed him to double up on me.  i should have changed my fly maybe... maybe not.

 

seriously though (now you know i’m lying), the weather is holding up and there are fish around... and look!  a weekend approaches!  whatcha gonna do about that?

 

 

sean takes on (solo) a kbay niner, a mangrove, and a camera timer...

 

and gets the hero shot!

 

dougies streak is en fuego.

 

as for me i just try do whatever it takes to keep up with bone studs like doug and sean.  all the while maintaining a healthy dose of good times.
