check out the fishing seasons here on oahu. april is peak season for mahimahi. i love mahimahi! and look at ahi fever just right around the corner.

i was up late last night checking the waves, swells, winds, tides, and weather. today isn’t a good day to fish because of the strong winds and waves. i can’t be picky because today is my day off and i’m not going to sit around doing nothing. i’m sure we won’t see too many boats as we will be going 20 miles out to victory at sea.

gosh, i thought i threw away my fishing poles but i still had them. haha.

last time i went fishing, i caught an ono with this white head lure. hopefully i can get another one.
anyway, if we catch fish, i will probably continue to fish. and if we don’t catch fish, i will probably quit fishing again. either way, i’m going to enjoy the day in the wild nature with my friends. have a wonderful day!

Let’s go Hanapa!!!

love to watch the ocean. love to people watch. so i see this kid who just bought a new dingy. he blows it up, puts it in the ala wai, and tries his luck. the wind was pretty strong so i already knew what was going to happen.

the wind blows him straight into the boats. he actually got stuck between two boats.

but he never gave up. yes, i was laughing pretty hard, but at the same time, i know this is how it begins for everybody. it’s called “paying your dues.”

was watching the north shore from early morning. super small, the building slowly. seen some 5′ sets by noon so i started to drive out. checked the traffic report and seen major backups due to the monorail train construction. turned around and went to my secret spot. and thank goodness it’s secret because nobody was out. lucky!

gosh, i need a haircut. haha.

only had my north shore boards so i had to use what i had. worked totally fine!

my friend Derek just sent me a photo of his latest catch. he caught all this in one day! he gave me the fisherman’s report and told me “GO!” he told me where, i went down to get some things ready just in case, and maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day.

i totally forgot i still had these lures! i thought i threw them away the last time i quit fishing. haha.
anyway, going sleep early, wake up early, check the report, and go fish in crazy choppy windy surf weather. you only live once right? if you don’t go, you won’t know! cheers!
