This request goes out to REMO_5_0 but open to all. For those of you who have fished bonefish know the feeling. Absolutely unforgettable. I had an opportunity to catch a few in Cancun last May and the experience brought this bass guy back to fly fishing. So much so I bought an #8, #4, and revamped my #7 with new line.
I am heading to Hawaii for Spring Break in April (sssshhhhhh, don't tell my daughters. It's going to be a Christmas surprise). From what I have read the bonefishing off Waikiki Beach is pretty good. Been reading a few DoItYourself Hawaii Bonefishing websites and though tough, I have another great opportunity to catch these stunning fish. I will be staying on the beach on the north end of Waikiki beach so the flats are right there and will have many hours of down time in between our family activities to double haul some line.
Wondering if anyone has done this, or know of someone who has. The "experts" say bonefish in Hawaii are some of the toughest to catch. Others say while the big fish are difficult to fool the smaller 3-5 pounders are much easier to catch. Some say the guides are worth the money but tend to spend a lot of time looking for 10+ pound fish letting the smaller schools cruise on by. I want to site fish, not float around and see the sites.
The main reason for the trip is to enjoy my family but if the tides and timing are right I am heading to the nearest flats.
