Bonefishing in Hawaii

[Hennessy]

ADVERTISE HERE

Had a great week of fly fishing for bones! our best day we went 10 releases for 18 bites, biggest fish around 7lbs. We had some pigs hooked up but had no luck turning their heads on our #7 and got smoked off the edge of the reef. Insane fun with 150yd runs and water exploding off the flat on the hook up.

Ben came to Hawaii looking for some spinning rod action and got rewarded with some skinny water mahem. I think I may need to change his drag washers after all those bones ran like bats outa hell. His little deerhair leadhead jig was like a candy bar to the bones. We traded off on double hook ups, he with the spinner and me off the back of the flats boat with the fly rod. I think we had 3 double hook-ups that morning.

The best fly this day was a white clouser style fly tied with my buddies dog fur from his tail. The dog loves it when a take a snip and name the fly after him. The PONO Fly!!!

If anyones coming to Hawaii give me a call, super fun fishing.

nice report. I wasn't aware that there was any bonefishing done in Hawaii. which island were you on?

Access and suitable habbitat is the key to finding these nuerotic gamefish. On Oahu we we flats around the whole island but only a few hold large numbers of fish. Weird how some flats hold big fish in the 8-15lb range and some flats hold schooly's 2-6lbs but all are fun and incredibly difficult to stock and catch. Making this an incredibly exciting fishery. I am an offshore fisherman by trade but have become addicted to these insane fish and the hunt that is involved to catch them.

With the boat on trailer we can hit all sides of the island in the same day if we need to move for tidal/visual reasons.

hope you guys can get over to Hawaii and join the fun for a day!
