| Description
of Catch Made: |
The bass were spawning so catching was slow: One small female peacock bass. There was no bass feeding activity this day (usually the peacocks are driving bait fish into the shoreline.) |
| Type
of Fishing: |
I was fly fishing with streamers. Yellow marabou caught me a small bass. My son was using spin gear, provided by Lono, and had no strikes. |
| Equipment
Used: |
6 wt. rod casting streamers. Lono uses a square backed canoe, with an electric motor. |
| Flies
Used: |
White and black wooly buggers. A yellow marabou streamer. |

| SUMMARY REMARKS
|
|
|
|
|
| Problems
on the Trip: |
Lono was a pretty good guide; I cannot blame him that the fish were spawning, other than he could have told me the night before!
Stay away from the topic of politics. Lono is half Hawaiian and is a bit bitter the way the US took over the Hawaiian Islands from the native Hawaiians. |
| Highlights
of the Trip: |
|
| Cost of the
Trip: |
$250 for two fishers for a half day. Only water is provided. |
