Fishing Talk / Kauai Fishing
« Last post by Latimeria on Today at 11:28:28 AM »
My wife is turning 50 and it's our 20th anniversary. I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday and she said "A trip to Hawaii"....  Not exactly what I was thinking and a hell of a lot more $$$ than I was expecting, but neither of us have been to the islands before.  After she picked the island and resort, we reserved our time on Kauai at a beachfront resort.  I tried talking her into an air B&B, but she wanted a resort....  Well, I most likely won't be chartering any boats to go fishing with all the coin I'm dropping, but going to do some surf and reef fishing to hopefully get a few dozen new species to add to my list.  I would need 31 to hit the 400 species mark.  That may be a stretch, but I'm arming myself with all of the little critter gear also to help try and make that happen.

Anyone fish Kauai before?  If so, any pointers?  Everything I read so far is pretty standard to how I would go about it, but asking just in case someone knows something that I might not have thought of. 

Thanks!

BTW, it still looks a bit chilly up there.

Yep! Weather has been pretty touch and go, it snowed about a week ago for a day, it's been raining on and off and in the 30s-50s since. Looks like I'll get a week of 70s coming up here though!

Hey Boss!  Congrats on getting out fishing and congrats on the Pike!  They are one of my freshwater favorites, especially when they start getting closer to the 10 pound mark!

Good luck in school and everything out there. 

Cheers!

Always great to hang out around the fire. I think Max was more upset than Myles about losing the Bat, it's all we heard about for the hour drive home. Hopefully things turn around for the bite in Mission Bay but it is still a great event and a fun day !!!

I finally got some time away from school and soccer, finished midterms last week, and got a long weekend for it. I got invited to a friend's lake house in Eden Prairie for the weekend and packed the couple of rods I had with me. I set my "non-fishing" buddies up with night crawlers and a split shot. The Bluegill bite was wide open. Determined to catch something to make the long drive worthwhile, I worked a 5in glide bait all over the banks and docks. I kept after this for 2 days without a bite, fishing through the rain, and finally, in the last hour, I stuck my first Northern Pike! Not the biggest but still pretty happy I can finally add this to the species list #102
