Neptunes-Bouillabaisse This famous soup/stew, originated in the south of France on the Mediterranean coast. The fishermen’s wives made soup with the unsold portion of the day’s catch. The variety of fish and the native flair for good food resulted in Bouillabaisse, which is considered by connoisseurs around the world as the greatest soup of all. Island seafood is different but the principle is the same. Use as wide an assortment of seafood as possible, the majority of which should be firm-fleshed fish. All of the following are suitable: Uku, ’ama‘ama, hopu’u, mahimahi, ono, opakapaka, ulua, A’u-ku, Mano-kihikihi (pups), opelu. The fish is cooked rapidly, releasing the natural oils from the fish to give the soup its characteristic consistancy. Small delicate fish are added at the end. 2 lb. mixed pieces…

■ Much attention has been recently devoted to cultivation of aquatic life in fishponds as a means to provide increasing opportunities for food production in the Islands. This is an exciting and cahllenging extension of a diversified agricultural market for Hawaii. Ignoring for a moment the complexity and technological problems of fishpond aquaculture, we can take a look at the recreational and cultural aspects of these ponds. Fishponds represent a unique cultural heritage for Hawaii, and to this extent, there are many ponds which should be preserved for our present and future generations. Some of the ponds are sites for endangered species of wildlife, and are therefore worthy of preservation for this reason alone. Other ponds, however, are either not large enough, unique or ecologically stable enough to be used…

WHEE!!!!!!!! OPENED A SCUBA SHOP ■ “Upon approaching our retirement from the Air Force my partner, Jack Clothier, and I had to make a decision as to what to do with our time after we retired. (At this point we also took into consideration that we would have to continue to eat after Uncle Sam allowed us to leave the nest.) Jack and I had been teaching swimming both individually and as partners for approximately 30 years and this appeared to be the area which, we would be happiest.” “We decided that we would start reaching SCUBA as well as swimming and open a dive shop. First, we figured we needed a qualified instructor for SCUBA so Jack attended a NAUI course and became our head SCUBA Instructor. (We didn’t…

■ Recently, Bob Chee and I spent five days in search of Largemouth and Smallmouth bass on Kauai. The Friday preceeding Labor Day weekend found us on Hawaiian Airlines bound for Kilauea, Kauai. I have made three previous trips to Kauai, and had enjoyed all of them enormously, I had not had the privilege however to enter the Kilauea area before this. After checking into our hotel, grabbing a rent-a-car and taking care of our hunger pains at McDonald’s, we were on our way to Waita reservoir. Bob had taken care of the necessary paper work ahead of time, so we could fish all of the reservoirs open to the public. Waita reservoir may well be the largest reservoir on Kauai. Two things come to mind when I think of…

On December 18th four gentlemen vacationing here from Canada decided to “try their luck” at some/deep Sea Fishing. Cliff Watkins, Ray Borne, Duncan Watt and Keith Brock chartered the 52 foot “Aukai”, skippered by Fred Knight. While trolling about 20 miles off Ewa Beach, at apporximately 1:30 p.m., a greedy Marlin decided to give the boys a run for their money. Not being satisfied with one lure, the Marlin hit a second, which sent two reels screaming. After a 45 minute battle, Cliff Watkins and Ray Borne managed to bring the fish to gaff with both lures dangling from its mouth. The prize weighed in at 255lbs. First time fishing for both fellas. Bojac Dive Club reported that Bill Reed speared a 401b. Uku with a three-prong spear while diving…

■ It was two weeks before Christmas 1976. Late in the afternoon of Sunday, December 5th, a 40 foot red sampan called the “Wailau,” cut through the choppy seas off Barbers Point, Oahu. Captain Gordon Wilkinson was disappointed as he headed the boat back toward Hawaii Kai with no the in the yawning fish boxes. For two whole days he had scoured the waters off Oahu’s north shore in pursuit of the elusive tuna schools which popped to the surface here and there but refused to take the trolled baits. The captain’s wife, Maile, sat reading a newspaper in the dinette. Sixteen year old Daral Conklin and his fourteen year old brother, Craig, kept moving restlessly about the boat checking the rods and reels, drinking soda pops and examining the…

■ “Hey Dad, the Papio are running.… You better get your okole over here.” Papio running in November??? You have got to be kidding was the thought that crossed my mind as I listened to my son’s voice over the phone. “Bring my ultra-light pole with you,” was the last thing he said as I hung up the phone, not believing what I had heard. My son Wayne is a 19 yr old fishing fanatic who is presently employed as a Fish Census Taker for Hawaii Marine Research. He had just completed a one month survey on the Big Island (Hawaii) before going to Maui to continue with his work. So who am I to question a Fish Census Taker? Off I went to Maui for what I thought would…
