Ice Fishing in Hawaii

[livinthedream]

Got your attention didn't I! Normally this time of year I would be checking out the Alberta ice fishing reports but I have to go to Hawaii for a wedding over Christmas. Anyone have any experience salt water fly fishing near Kona? Before we head to Kona we will be in Honolulu for a couple of days and understand that there a few flats there that have good sized bones. Any information would be awesome!

I was wandering through one of the indoor malls in Waikiki and was amazed to come across a snowboarding shop. Last thing I expected to see there.

Nope on the bone fish.
But be sure you do a Midnight shark hunt.

105-110 days from now I will be on that shark hunt.


Enjoy your holiday

If you are in Honolulu contact Greg Hill or Mike Hennessy (www.bonefishinghawaii.com) and do a trip with them. Oahu has some decent flats with some very big, although not plentiful bones. You will also run into Trevally, Barracuda and such which are great fun. They also do Billfish if that is of interest to you (requires a 10-12WT outfit). The Big Island is blessed with very deep water so it is all about the Pelagic species, you may be able to find a boat that will allow you to chuck flies but that often requires you to charter the boat which can get expensive. Hooking up with a Wahoo, Dorado, Yellowfin on a fly rod would be stellar however. Molokai and Kauai are probably the two best fly fishing destinations in the island chain, Maui the worst. Regardless, I would bring your gear and see what you can find. There is also the fresh water stuff on Oahu (Peacock Bass, Red Devils, etc) which would be fun.
