Aloha, HFN readers. Over the past four months, I have written a series of articles about kayak fishing. This will be the fifth and final article of the series. If you have been following this series, you have read about kayak safety, live-bait techniques, electronics and rigging. Safety, in my opinion, is the biggest priority. Take the time to prepare and plan well when heading out to deep-sea fish on a kayak. In this article, I am going to talk about how to rig live bait for kayak fishing. So how do you rig those slippery little ‘opelu to the hooks and rigs I discussed in my last article? I will provide you with a few examples. Remember that there are many ways to rig live bait, so find what…

$200-a-Month Permit or Confiscation Coconut wireless reports whirled about a flyfishing guide, casting with a client for bonefish at Kane‘ohe Bay sandbar, being threatened with boat confiscation. His alleged crime? He didn’t pay his $200-a-month, or 3 percent of gross revenues, whichever is larger, DLNR’s Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR) business permit fee. To a fly fisherman, a “permit” is a game fish in the jack crevalle family, like an ‘omilu. Louie “Da Fish” DeNolfo, who began fly fishing in 1954 and 20 years ago invented Hawai‘i fly bone fishing, lost a tippet when he heard from his fly guide son Joaquin that the DOBOR was enforcing permit fishing. “I just got some disturbing news via my son about DLNR trying to charge minimum $200 a month to…

Between the cooler weather and the fallout from this past summer’s red tide, fishing in Suwannee has been minimal. I thought we could take a break from sorting out the tackle box and re-rigging the poles to discuss some legends of fishin’ in the South. Legend #1–Everyone in the South fishes for catfish by sticking their arms into waterholes (not!). “Noodling” is the practice of sticking one’s hand into a suspected catfish hole in a freshwater pond or river. Apparently, the catfish will suck down on your arm and you can pull the sucker out of the hole. According to Wikipedia (so we know it must be true!), “the term ‘noodling,’ is used primarily toward the capture of flathead catfish, can and has been applied to all hand fishing methods,…

From the window of the Boeing 787 on approach to Kahului on Tuesday, I knew the fishing was going to be good. From the direction of the approach, it was apparent the Kona winds were blowing and the ‘Au‘au Channel would be calm. Within 24 hours of landing I had confirmed with Tad and Cindy Luckey that conditions were right to move up our scheduled trip on the REEL LUCKEY and head out as soon as possible. I called my friend George Austin from Ellensburgh, Washington, and gave him the good news. My friends from Yakima, Washington, Roger and Val Rowles, were staying with us and were also excited to take their first deep-sea fishing trip. The 4 a.m. wake-up came pretty early, but we left Lahaina Harbor at 5:15,…

Send to: P.O. Box 25488, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96825 or e-mail: <fishnews@hawaii.rr.com> Aloha Uncle Chuck! This is the story of my brother’s ulua catch and a picture of him with the captain and mate. When he came home I had a dinner party of eight waiting for the fish. He said, “How did you know I’d catch fish for eight people?” I said, “You and Pawel always catch lots of fish when you go out together! I count on it!” Malama pono, Lesley CzechowiczKihei, Maui On April 15, 2011, my brother-in-law, Pawel, and I went fishing on the MARJORIE ANN. It was a day to remember! Whales were all around us, with the mothers and calves frolicking near shore and others breaching close by. Tail slaps and head slaps astonished those…

If you haven’t heard about “Kai’s Monster,” 16-year-old Kai Rizzuto boated a 1,058-lb blue marlin in Kona on the IHU NUI in February. The story blew up the Internet and exploded on local, national and international media here and around the world. The likes of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, BBC and other major media players focused on the young boy from New York and the huge fish. We are going to give you the behind-the-scenes look at the catch. The real story. The fishing stuff with all of the kinds of things you want to know to give you a better chance of catching a big marlin regardless of your age. I know the details because I was there on the IHU NUI, and Kai Rizzuto is my grandson.…

Tokyo Fish Market and Fukushima Leaks Recently, while on a first-time trip to Tokyo, I walked around the famous Tsukiji Fish Market. The Tsukiji wholesale “inner market” is one of the largest food markets in the world. It houses 900 businesses in an area as large as 43 football fields. The surrounding “outer market” is a retail fish market equally as large. Daily fish sales total $15.5 million. Sales total 700,000 metric tons a year, worth $5.9 billion. More than 60,000 workers are employed by the markets. One of every five fish caught on the planet is sold here. The combined markets sell more than 480 types of seafood from seaweed, caviar and micro sardines to whale. Whale sashimi is dark red and tastes like gamey wild meat. Of course,…
