After two weeks of fun in the Southern Hemisphere it was time to head back up to the equator.

Fishing has been good and Tako season just took off in the last couple weeks. Lot's of giant bonefish. Caught one fish in particular that is probably my biggest ever. Released him in heavy surf so unfortunately no pics of the bones.


For a while this summer there were lots and lots of 8-14" Trevally around my zone. Lots of CnR fun on light line.



A Lai would climb on once in a while as well.




Simular to the Coho, our octopus were slow/fashionably late to the party as well. Luckily, they did show up and in mass. One morning I sorted through an easy 15 Tako, keeping 5 or 6 big ones and letting the rest go to grow. Some nice fish as well.



Since I scored the bait in the morning and knew that there were some fish scooting around I decided to head back for the afternoon with a couple rods, a few cold ones and a sack of bait.

It was a good choice.







This was the best day I've had in a while. There were a couple CnR bonefish mixed into the action as well. Seriously fun stuff.



Ate a lot of Sashimi that evening. And Ceviche, and Tacos. It was all good.










Been fishing some spots other that the home zone lately since grabbing some new wheels.








I like to sneak out for early morning beach sessions before work.

Stab some rods in the sand, jump in the water, find an octopus and start fishing. There's always something fun to see or swim with early in the day.








Been some giant swells already this fall. Driving the road to nowhere and checking out some monster waves with my lady.








As you all know fishing or spearfishing isn't always productive so I can't help but hit the local market for some fresh fish when I'm lazy, unsuccessful, short on time or just hungry for Ahi.



Today's Monchong and Ahi was KILLER!




I will leave you with some fitting signage for the road. Thanks for looking!


Enjoy the time you've got with the people you've got!

Good grief Jake. You make living in Hawaii seem like such a drag.

Awesome spread from start to finish. Great images to go with cool stories. Can't wait to get back down there and settle the score with a tako or two. You make a mean plate of grub as well man. Keep living the good life.

Well it's time to post some photos. Thanks for the motivation WDFWx1=0!


Tako season was good and stretched all the way into the Spring.





Poked some fish along the way.






With the Tako (bait) comes big bonefish! I've been pulling some graveyard shifts at work. In an effort to make the best of it I hit the beach and throw lines as the sun is coming up. It's been good.


Breakfast.





For a while there I was running into these line peelers every day damn near. Fun stuff.












Ran into a few of these buggers. Striped Papio or Barred Trevally. Superb eating.






Been doing some Island hopping.








Found the Big Island.






More to come...

Been exploring some out of the way places on Maui. Good times...








Fishing, swimming, hiking.








Found a Staminal out in the jungle.





Here's a good transition to some PNW fishing pics. An Oly Lowlife drinking some Olympia Brew on a beach in Hawaii.

Made it back to Washington a couple times recently. Was there for Family but found some fish too.


Happened to be in town for my FAVORITE fishery. Spring Chinook.







Spent an awesome day fishing with my little brother just a week after he had a close call with a Spontaneous Pneumothorax, collapsed lung, chest tubes and emergency surgery. That's right, he's a bad ass.






Also made it back in July. Of course I went fishing.

About 10 casts into my first morning of fishing this wild summer steelhead CRUSHED my spinner in the top of a nice riffle. This fish was out of the water before I woke up. It put on an incredible acrobatic display jumping an easy dozen times. It was the fish of the week even though I caught larger. It was awesome.









Fished with my dad and brother. That's always a good day whether we get fish or not.



Cuttin up the goods...













Back home on Maui for a few weeks then off to South America where I plan to eat a lot of Argentinian Asado and hopefully catch a Golden Dorado. Taking my brother along this time. Guaranteed to be fun. Some more fish and fun pics by summers end!
