bonefishing hawaii:

the bone report.

 

despite the somewhat sketch weather we’ve been having since last checking in, the bonefishing has still been quite good if you’re on the water on the right day.  my good buddy harold from oregon has been in town getting his winter bone on and doing quite well.  i have been out on the water with him, our other buddy harry, and nwff crew deano and e.t. a couple of times.  unfortunately, i’ve been sidelined again this month by another cold (more likely a resurgence of the old one, it's been a rough month for me) .  not an entirely bad thing as i have been able to catch some spectacular college football games.  still, it always sucks to be sick and not have the usual bounce.

 

in my absence, the guys have been pounding it out (as well as relentlessly barbecueing) and the fish have been around.  hi kai, hickam, and ke’ehi have all held good numbers of fish on some days.  the tougher days have been typical winter style cloudy days where it’s tough to get an eye on the fish before they are too close.  but with a little light the crew, harry and harold have managed some good numbers as well as some fall fatties in the mix.  e.t.’s been getting between three and six fish a day depending on the light and the other guys have also been doing well.  according to them the e.t. brown charlie has been the fly of choice.

 

the sun is getting lower and lower by the day so all you sight fishers be sure to adjust your angles accordingly and be aware of how the fish are showing up in the ever-wintering sky.  hope all the peeps stay well, wash your hands, and get out on the water.  the fish are there and as the nwff crew always says, you’ll never know unless you go.

 

harold’s persistence and ridiculous casting skills resulted in this football.

 

harold got this fall fattie to eat at hi kai.

 

the world through a fugu’s eye.  as always... good times.
