Light Tackle fishing is our most popular family tour. Using spinners and rods, we head to our favorite fishing spots to catch island predators. Lunch and drinks are provided in this tour. If you catch a 'keeper,' then ask your local chef if he can prepare your catch for dinner. You never know what you will catch.
What exactly is light tackle fishing?
We use Penn Slammer reels with 12 lb test with a 6 foot rod. The basic set up consist of a 12 lb test main line, to an egg shot lead, to a one way swivel, to a 6 lb test leader, and to a hook with grub or bait. This is the basic set up for whipping in zones 1 and zone 2.
We will walk the rocky coastline whipping into the surf in efforts to catch Omilu, Papio, Moana, Nunu, Moi and Roys. These are some of the predator fish in the area that will bite the grub or bait. As we fish your guide will explain where to cast and how to reel over different areas of the reef.
Do we need a fishing license?
No
What about lunch?
We will provide you with lunch. Please give us a call or let us know if you have any special food requirements. Our food will be purchased from Zippys. We will order everyone a ZIP pack (rice, slice of spam, fillet of Mahimahi, fried chicken, and teriaki beef). We will also have refreshments available.
What should we bring?
Bring a towel, sunscreen, a hat, glasses, and a camera. We will provide tabi's (reef walkers), the rod, the reel, and the tackle. Pack light, we do not want to bring a huge bag and leave it in the car. There are car break in, so let's minimize the risk.
What do we do with the fish we Catch?
We have two options. Option 1: Keep the fish. Option 2: Let the fish go. If you choose to keep the fish, we can make arrangements with a local restaurant or you’re chef. If you do not want the fish, then we will gladly take the fish home. Nothing gets waisted.
Zone 1
Zone 1 is from Holona Blow Hole to Pele's Chair (Kaiwi Coast Line). The currents in this area are radical. Zone 1 is one of the better areas on the island to dive and fish. Many of the fish migrate into the area daily, and chances are high that you are going to catch something. We will avoid the cliff areas when ocean conditions are not in our favor. We will cast into the surf zone, and will hope to catch some predator fish feeding on bait fish. We will also have bait (squid), if requested.
Zone 2
Diamond Head. This area is both rocky and sandy. There is an outer reef, which mitigates much of the wave coming to shore. This is a safer area to fish than zone one, but just as rewarding if we catch something. You'll find the same type of predator fish in this area as zone 1.
What about individuals with Disabilities?
We will have to coordinate transportation, and coordinate an accessible spot to fish. We will determine fishing spots based on physical limitations.
