Offroad/Meet + Night Fishing @ Kaena Point

Curious to see if anyone else have an interest in surf fishing. If I can get a few of us together I'll start planning a small Offroad/meet day and top it off with fishing over night at Kaena Point. I would like to go this weekend or the weekend after so LMK!






UPDATE: 7/17/2014
I've only fished there once, but from that experiance and google map it looks like its rocky/reef bottom. I always use a break away line for my sinkers to be safe not to lose my whole rig. Im currently running a Penn 4/0 and 6/0 with 80lb test, both on cheap Ulua poles. Planning on sliding Tako. Going to use a heavy rub line bout 5ft.

I am going to go ahead and set the date for 2 Aug. (details on what time and where to meet TBD) I am hoping to do this often so in case you cant make this over nighter there will be plenty more to come.

 

Actually tentatively planning to go fishing over there Friday night with a couple of friends. Should know for sure by tomorrow night if we go there or somewhere else.

 

Im waiting on my rear brakelines an front bumpstops. Should be in this week and hopefully on bfor nex!

 

What's your setup for fishing there? I usually just hit up Kailua beach or nalo beach park (not too many rocks to lose weight or hooks lol)

 

I'm down.. may need to jump in with someone if the truck can't go where you want to go (even with the locked 2x).

To the places that we can't drive in, my setup is an aluminum cart with kayak tires, cooler, chair, and sport umbrella.. we have walked in a couple miles in deeper sand going out behind kahuku GC, and moks is a good 150-200 yds. If we get lucky and can go Marconi Rd, then I can sleep in my zero gravity under a 10x10 or in my covered bed..

 

hows the grounds? choke reef/rocks? like gotta run heavy rub line? if so I gotta upgrade lol, I gotta try fish out that side my main spots i go is just for get out the house lol no action.

 

haha I like that kine grounds. only gotta worry about bait...

man I fish sandyz and I swear I gotta buy bundles of lead haha

 

Lol....I've been trying to get access via Marconi road for a couple of years now.....no luck.

 

so down for this sweet pics Ratha gotta see the rest

id be down for this weekend but i got surgery tomorrow so ill probably be pretty out of it for the next few days

 

Not sure if I gotta work this weekend, so I put down for first weekend in August. If I don't have to work this Saturday, I'll be able to go. Now gotta look and make sure I have bait in the freezer.
Neil, nice setup. Beats having to carry everything in.
BTW, what kind of rig does everyone have?

 

sweet try to make it Aug 2

 

S5 cam haha but thanks. GL with the surgery should give you plenty time to recover for Aug

 

sweet that should be my last meet before i ship my stuff out... and it looks like that will be on the 4th if anything.. Thanks ratha surgery went well this whole recovery part just sucks ass.

 

So looking like Aug 2?? So what Ratha.. Can with my truck or I gotta hitch a ride??

My setup is as follows:
2 - 13' Shimano Ulua poles paired with Daiwa Seagates (150 yds. 60lb braid topshot with 150yds. 60lb mono)
1 - 11 or 12' Shimano spinner rod paired with a big Fin-Nor Spinner..

 

kaena get choke reef/rocky areas so you going lose your lead and super windy so if you not tossing a good chunk of lead then you see your line just fly in the wind. couple spots good at keana if you can get them before the ulua fisherman get them.

have fun be safe waters are super strong out there

 

how i roll up to the spots..




just a heads up for overnight fishing if DLNR is in the area make sure you dont have any camping gear out most time they tell you camping gear isnt allowed but i have heard where they actually fined people.

 

Did you guys catch?

 

Aug 2nd is the set date, I just need an input for the time and location to meet up.

Yes stock Tacoma is more then enough to get to where we need. I'm not expert fisherman, but that looks like a good setup. I only heard good things about the Seagates.

 

Ended up going sand island side instead. Didn't catch anything.

 

hopfully at least one of us hook up on this trip! Really looking forward to this, nothing better then having the complete package - offroad, camping, fishing.
