bonefishing hawaii:
the first of july
i can’t believe it’s july already... i guess what they say is true. time flies when you’re having fun. well to celebrate the first of july e.t. gathered the boyz together (asa, kai, and craig) and headed out to ke’ehi. e.t started fishing at five thirty this morning. greg and josh went out a little later and jay and i (the old guys) got out there about nine or so. there were fish around but the bite seems to have subsided quite a bit. when we rolled out there e.t. said that there were tailing fish in the morning but no one had caught any. the fish were very spooky. everyone hooked fish but none were landed. the fish i hooked came unbuttoned pretty quickly. the takes were very subtle and hard to tell when exactly the fish picked up the fly. i fished a little with e.t. and a bit with greg and josh.
when the tide came in jay managed to land a small bone that may have been sick as it didn’t hardly fight, maybe they were all just sluggish as i saw quite a few that were just sitting on the flat. we walked several stretches with the same results. fish there, but not very agressive and spooky. when we had about all we could take we headed in. i’m not sure how e.t. and the guys did on the falling tide (they’re still out there as i am writing this) hopefully the fish turned on more with the falling tide for those guys.
by the way hope everyone out there in cyber world has a wicked awesome fourth of july... get out there and conk some fish!
