Oahu fishing? Please give some advise

Hey guys, not truck related but I hope to get some good responds that will help me land some fish!!

I am visiting Oahu this December for a family wedding, I will be staying on the island for about 2 weeks. I have been to hawaii before a few years back visiting some family, only did some boat fishing.

Some back ground, I fish the surf here in NJ and plan on whipping when I get to Hawaii. I will be bring my 11ft rod and some swimmers, poppers, and what ever else I buy when I get there may have to try the mark white lures!

I am a catch and release kind of persons unless the fish will not make it back alive in the water I will gladly eat it for dinner.
Can you boys give me some decent spots to fish from land? North shore? I just want to hook up and have some fun!! I will have a car to travel, also if anyone would like to join and guide me to some fish I would gladly pay you, dinner, beers what ever.

Thanks!!

 

hmmm I could name a few, but then id have to kill you. hahaha nah nah, mark white lures lets just say $$$ and ive had better results with lead heads and grubs. ive had a mark white in the water for about 15mins no action, changed to a firecracker curly tail, first cast I got a follow, second cast I had my first papio on the board.

depends when your here, id be willing to show you some of my spots. are you staying in waikiki or somewhere else?

 

Thanks for the post. I'll b staying around Honolulu and jumping around the island with family and maybe grab a hotel if I feel the need. Last time I stayed In Waikiki that was fun to go out and eat and beach.. Spend the money!

I will b on the island December 3 wedding is that weekend but I Free to fish as much as possible!

Would be greatly appreciated if you could take your time out and fish with me or just point me to the right direction on land.

Nice retros by the way!

 

oahu still get fish???

born & raised big island, so I'm spoiled

 

seriously...

I think the last time I caught a fish was from the Pali reservoir with the catfish farm years ago.

 

lol for real tho..

I usually just hit up kailua beaches or waimanalo beach park at night. Some times i get real lucky others a nice quiet night having some beers.

 

Damn you all. I already had plans in me head that I wanted to make a day trip over to the big island sense I have heard so much about the land fishing there. But I was hoping you locals would post up with some positive feeds on Oahu land fishing.


808 do you whip at night? Or use bait?

Thanks J

 

Haha Leo still has to take me fishing

 

Still get just gotta know your spots I catch 10 lb papio all the time whip or slide bait but when I go out I catch guaranteed. If you going just for fun not for eat it's easy lol

 

Bother... "10 lb. All the time"?? When we going out???

 

^^ yea what he said. Lets go dec 8th r 9th. Haha. But A nice size papio would be bend the rod!

 

Any where to get some kayak fishing? For jet ski fishing in?$$

 

try contact Isaac at Aqua Hunters (http://www.aquahunters.com/). he always goes out on the west side, usually Tracks cause it's easy in/out. when I surf there winter time before work, I see him taking a few guys out. I believe he provides everything, you just show up, but you should call to verify.

 

sorry, maybe contact him via Facebook -

I didn't see an easy way to contact him from the AH site.

 

Oahu is pretty much fished out IMO, but I grew up on Molokai, so you know how that goes. When I do get my lazy ass out, I usually walk the reefs in Kaneohe Bay & whip. Most of the time I can at least get a barrracuda or small papio, sometimes get lucky & catch a good dinner.

 

^ my cousin said the same thing about how like 15+ years ago fishing was good but now it's fished out basically. Thats upsetting to hear. I do Have some wet shoes I'll bring to wade in water, I will still put in my time and fish

Thanks J

 

I use Ika mostly.. sometimes I'll use sand turtles and I can catch moi or wekes

lol I gotta find time on the weekends

I use to take my kayak out in Lanikai.. Id catch some papio out there.. If you dive in front of flat island in Kailua I usually grab couple takos everytime..

 

Anyone recommend a private boat that goes out for tune deep sea? The guys might want to hop a boat before leaving the island

Thanks J

 

Trip is creeping up slowly.

Last question is what about some free dive spear fishing?? Anyone have a recommendation for that?

Thanks J
