I totally agree about the netting because people just take much more than they need(perhaps for commercial reasons). I hope they will be around a little longer because I never fished for Halalu before, except in Japan. I know that they are very tasty and are one of the most prized foods here in Hawaii :)
The netters are taking 10-15 tons each time they do this. Its ridiculous how they get away with this. I think they should ban all netting here in Hawaii. I dont care if thats how they feed their family. They should get real jobs like the rest of us, and stop raping the ocean. At this rate there wont be any viable fisheries on Oahu in the near future.
Hopefully another month or so. The surround netters from Haleiwa took a bunch last week in the bay. Which is illegal at this time of year. No netting Halalu under 8.5" before November. We call the game wardens, but they dont ever show up. Theyre all in kahoots. The Halalu at Haleiwa boat harbor only lasted 1 week this year before they got netted. Im hoping the waimea school lasts a little longer. Its a dying fishery, no thanks to the bullshit game wardens on Oahu.
They were biting at Cambell ind. park harbor about 1 month ago. Im not sure if they are still there though. They most likely got netted already.

Whats funny, is I see Game wardens driving around Mililani almost daily. But I almost never see them enforcing sh!t at or anywhere near the ocean.
Update. As of 8-17-13, they were netted 3 more times. The school is about half as big now. They will all be gone in 1-2 more weeks.
