Golden Trevally, Bonefish
Fly: C&C Special

Other Details: Aloha these past few days the winds have been very strong up to 30mph plus and low light conditions. However, I guided Jeff into landing this VERY RARE 6lbs. Golden Trevally and his Father in-law Cliff, managed to hook a nice 3 1/2lbs Bonefish. Hopefully, the winds should come down a notch or two next week so we can have better conditions.

11lb Bonefish
Fly: Hawaiian Shrimp

Other Details: Aloha, the past few weeks the tides have not been favorable with strong gusty tradewinds however, there have been a few number of nice sized 4 to 6 lbs bonefish. This 11lbs bonefish pictured was one that couldn't resist one of my newly tied flies. She took the fly 15ft away from the rod tip then proceeded to rip off 220 yards of gel-spun backing before doing a 180 degree turn and came straight back at me for another 100 yards then turned around and made another 60 yard run before tiring. This fish was tagged with tag #5438 of the O'io (bonefish) Tagging Program before gently releasing it back to the ocean. Hopefully, conditions will get back to normal soon.
