    The bite started out so slow it was looking like one of those skunky days, but suddenly the bite turned on around noon and it was strike after strike! Got my biggest shibi ahi (yellowfin tuna), a 50 pounder.

    Went out yesterday to attempt to live bait (opelu) yesterday for the first time out Waianae on my 17 Montauk using all of your techniques. Opelu rigs, 30 class rods and reels (tallicas) 40lb, and your live bait wire rigs and was very successful with a good size Aku, a 25lb baracuda, and a almost 30lb Shibi. I rigged a 15 gallon live bait tank to a small marine battery and was able to get a dozen or so opelu after searching for a couple hours, wind was kicking so was really hard to stay on the bait once we found them, but it worked out really well. Small kine sun burn, but we'll eat good for the next week. BIG MAHALOS for sharing my braddah, me and my family really appreciate!!!

    Yep, that 2nd Ahi felt different, eh? You were quite smooth though even though I am sure your forearms were pounding. Oh, I made an offer on a home in Hawi. They accepted. Moving to Hawi in December. See you on the water some fine day? Aloha!

      Kawaihae harbor and Keahou boat ramp are good easy launches and have mellow water lots of the time. Just make sure the wind and swell are good. We're getting into winter weather now so lots of big NW swells with high winds so gotta be careful
