When are you headed there? I don’t know squat about that area but we could look like goofs together? I have done plenty of surf fishing in Mexico.

We caught needle fish and a puffer of some sort at the boat ramp many years ago.

Default Kealia Boardwalk Area

I fly fished the area along the Kealia Coastal Boardwalk between Kihei and the Diesel Plant just north of town.

Caught Needle fish, some small jacks and some other things I have no idea what they were.

Used small Lefty Deceiver flies and some Shrimp flies that I had bought for Bonefish.

The locals in other locations would use squid, shrimp, etc and small silver spoons.

If you are looking for larger fish (eg; Ulua) head south of town to around 5 Graves. Walk out to the point and you will see PVC pipe rod holders set into the lava rock. Again, bait is best here. This is also a great spot to snorkel and see turtles. Also please respect the area as the Hawaiians regard this as a sacred spot.

No licence needed to fish in salt water.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the useful info, what's a good shop to pick up bait or lures?

If you dont mind smaller fish and find some slightly deeper spots near shore 5 -10 feet i use the water weighted bubble style bobbers as a slip bobber with some squid/clam that i find by the ocean. If youre casting bigger stuff you will likely need a mono or flouro leader as a shock absorber or even smaller fish will snap you off from time to time. In the 50+ pound range for the leader material.

Even jigs work well in places but you will have lots of snags.

Beware eating because of ciguterra poisoning - look it up.

Also beware of surgeon fish and their super sharp back ends. Almost grabbed one once if i hadnt knew about it.

I just got back from there a couple days ago. We went on a whale watching tour and there were a bunch of locals fishing off the harbour at Maalaea. Also just off the south kiheI Rd is the Hawaiian humpback whale marine sanctuary there were a bunch of guys fishing on the shore in the mornings/evenings. Good luck
