An Observation I've noticed a lot more people we fish with.... especially kids.... are fishing like they were competing in the Bass Masters Classic. Let me explain. When a fish strikes, they set the hook (cross the fishes eyes) and then skip the fish accross the top of the water and...

As you know, this week Hawaii saw 4 new high temperature records broken and one tied. These high record temperatures have caused record high water temperatures in the lake as well. Those of you who have studied photography know that color and temperature go hand in hand. High water...

We've been trying to introduce the Florida strain largemouth bass into Hawaii for over 30 years. Every year we go to the legislature to try again. A few years ago the Friends of Animals and some other Animal Rights groups brought this picture into the hearings and told the legislators if we...

We have our one little lake in Wahiawa, on the island of Oahu. About 35 minute drive from Waikiki.

It's been an interesting week.... lots of fun with "red" devils of assorted "colors" (and other tropical fish.....) with an occasional larger peacock bass to test ones light tackle fishing skills. Aloha, Stan

Every time it rains, the oil and gunk on the streets washes right into our little lake. The brown skum floating on the water turns fly lines brown, and leaves a "ring around the bath tub" on our boats. A little scrubbing with Simple Green gets the stuff off... Someone suggested I might wax...

Our one and only freshwater lake on Oahu. Lake Wilson in Wahiawa.

I wonder when the peacock bass start spawning im Miami?

That's Diamond Head and Waikiki in the background of the flats picture... and Waikikk's Ala Wai Canal for the cudas. You know it does kind of remind me of Asberry Park. NOT! :lol:

I use a 12# test wire cable about 4 inches long. The kind with plastic around it. You just twist it and then heat it with a match. Sometimes we tye the leader in as part of the fly. The barrracuda we target are only a pound or two. Other times, just a long shank hook. LOL

We call Clay, "The White Ninja"

Jet Ski Clay hooks his first jet ski... "I got'em! I got'em!" aw... it was just a bone. Aloha, Stan
