Prospective Fly Fishing Spot

We took Marlon to the Hawaii Youth Symphony Orchestra (HYSO, not HYSA) on Sunday, and because we had too much other stuff in the back of the van, I decided against getting dropped off to walk the flats. But I did stop off at Pu'u ikena Beach Park to check out the potential. I see fly fishermen walking this place every time to drive by. And upon further inspection - there were a couple of guys flyfishing. There was also a guy who had been spearfishing... I think he was after tako - but that's all good to see.

Bonefish #4 - Pretagged

I went fly fishing after work yesterday. I had the Epic 888, Allen Kraken XLA 4, and a ROI Bonefish (long belly) 8wt line setup. I ended up hooking up with Bonefish #4 (o'io). It took a clouser minnow tied to resemble the baby goatfish swimming around (o'ama). I had the bite guard on and it still took the fly. That was probably due to the early evening low sunlight. Whatever it was, I'll take it! I had my tagging kit, but this fish already had a tag on it too - 14068. I scraped all the algae off so hopefully it'll have an easier time swimming. Funny how when you are trying to catch one fish, you totally catch another. I was fishing for barracuda... I did go flyfishing again this morning. I saw several large bones, but didn't draw interest from them - I bet it was the bite guard...

Stop!
