Start Me Up - First Week in December

[MMH]

Aloha from Start Me Up Sportfishing,
Ono Noah is finishing up the fall semester and will be going on a European vacation. Upon his return he faces a tough spring semester, so there will be no time for a part time job. We wish him Bon Voyage, and, I’m sure he’ll check in with us from time to time. I will try to continue to keep the fish reports coming.
Steve Seal is a long time return guest with Start Me Up. This year he brought his father, Billie, on the trip for the first time.

Ono Noah’s shoes will be hard to fill, but I will try my best to keep you updated with a weekly report.
Thank you for reading this report.

And now the report from the later part of December. Again, sorry it's a little late.

Aloha from Maui Hawaii. Sorry for the delay on the remainder of the December's reports. The Christmas season is our busiest time of the year. My plate was full mediating fishing fanatics, but here we go.
