Aloha, HFN readers. My name is Scott Valle, and I wanted to share some memories with you from a fishing trip I took last year to Christmas Island. This was my first trip to the world’s largest coral atoll, and I was excited to check it out. Being an avid kite boarder and surfer living in Waialua, and I had heard about the good fishing, good surf and excellent flat-water kite boarding at Christmas Island. Luckily, my son Jason Valle had Christmas Island connections through his Pacific Warriors kayak fishing partner David “Boogie-D” Elgas. Boogie-D has been offering fishing trips to Christmas Island for some time now and was able to organize our trip through <christmasislandfishingadventures.com>. Micah Pignolet was also able to get some time off work to join the…

Pew Fishes for Obama A hui of well-known Hawaiians, including former DLNR chair William Aila and Hokule‘a’s Nainoa Thompson, have petitioned President Obama to expand the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) from the 50-mile mark to 200 miles. Makani Christensen, of the Hunting, Farming and Fishing Association, thinks this is an anti-fishing abomination. “We are in opposition to this expansion,” said Makani. “The facts and reasoning behind the expansion does not make sense. Kaua‘i fishermen may lose a couple key fishing areas including Lehua and trolling buoys. Small business will be effected by closures. Price of ‘ahi will increase over the next two years. This is an attack on fishing. There is no sound argument for what is actually being protected.” Both Christensen and Greg Holzman of Kauai Ocean Users allege…

What do Large Scale Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and taape have in common? They seem to be continuing to expand uncontrollably in Hawaii. If you haven't heard, a group of seven native Hawaiians have recently requested that President Obama expand the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM) from 50 nautical miles (nm) to 200 nm in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHIs). Orchestrating this initiative is the Washington D.C.-based Pew Charitable Trusts Global Ocean Legacy program, which is feeding misinformation to the public that this expansion will protect seabirds, sharks, sea turtles, monk seals, marine mammals, and tunas and will make Hawaii more resilient to climate change. The truth is that these marine species are already protected and/or range well beyond the NWHI. Closing the area will not have any benefits to…

If you’ve been to Wahiawa lately, you may have noticed some work being done in the parking lot and road areas in the Wahiawa Freshwater State Recreation Area, as well as the bathrooms and the boat ramp. DLNR was fortunate enough to be able to finally work on some improvements in the park for park users. In 1968, a 14-foot wide concrete boat launching ramp and parking area for 21 vehicles and trailers were constructed by the State Fish and Game Division (as the Division of Aquatic Resources was known back then) at the Park Reservoir, better known as Lake Wilson, for public use. After serving the freshwater fishing community for 48 years, the boat ramp was in need of some maintenance and repair. Taking advantage of the opportunity to…

Set them up with a fishing trip and they brought home dinner. Allan Shannon Aloha Uncle Chuck, Wanted to share a couple pictures of recent catches. I got one murph moi at my secret spot on an overnight holoholo trip - weighed in just under 5 lbs. The other picture is an 8 lb o'io that I hooked in the pond at Ka'a Point - had guys fishing the point and the beach side. Since I had my pole with me I tossed a shrimp into the pond thinking that no way am I going to catch. About 20 minutes later my pole bent in half…

Have you ever accidentally hooked a sea turtle and didn’t know what to do? The Fishing Around Sea Turtles program supports recreational fisheries through “turtle friendly” fishing gear, such as barbless circle hooks, and provides best-practice guidelines to assist hooked or entangled turtles. The program also includes practical fishing tips suggested by fishermen that may reduce the potential for interactions. It's OK To Help It’s OK to help a turtle in distress, not only by making a phone call but also by physically helping to reduce further injury. Trailing gear is the biggest threat, and removing as much line as possible will prevent entanglement that can cause loss of flippers, strangulation, or death. In this way, Hawai‘i fishermen can help in the continued recovery of sea turtles. Before assisting, make…
