Hawaiibassfishing Forum

hahaha fishing with the bassmaster magazine editor, no pressure to perform right?? hahahahaha glad you guys showed him some bass, too bad no tucs but at least he will have something to remember freshwater fishing in hawaii!

better hurry an release them fingerlings soon!!!! the water level will be out of the grass in less than a week the way its dropping and the poor guys will be exposed to hungry bass/tucs and whatever else can fit em in thier mouths!

im sure the reason is complicated, but forage is definatley part of the equation. i recall the good ole days you could walk on the tilapia at the effluent discharge,dont see many these days either. but like assasin says there were always skinny fish at times even in the prime.

yes!! the duckette rods have me wondering too, supposedly an evolution of the carrot stix, we eagerly await your opinion!

think youd be better off with a pro 16, more bells and whistles and they sell for cheaper too, although im sure they are marked up like that grizzley from what you see in the catalogs, remember to account for the shipping cost too. check the used boat listing in iboats or ebay, often dealers have so...

yep get rid of the devils and bring in some crayfish!! lotsa crayfish! bluegill work too. notice the bass get skinnier in the summer. must the metabolism outdoin the nurishment the shad provide, still dont think the bass and tucs cancel each other out, they did fine together for what 80 plus years. ...

its all relative im sure, i have alot of cheapo rods and am always lookin to upgrade without the high price tag. i think you can pretty much find a rod in your price range in most brands. most importantly is what and how you wanna fish and find the right action for you, i just bought a 39 dollar shi...

love the carrot stix sooo light and very sensitive, have a spinning and a casting one i got when they were onsale for 89$ and both are in the medium heavy and i think 6'9" size. had to learn to recast em they are so diffrent feeling from the heavier rods. i read alot of bad reviews on them breaking ...

before people start harvesting gamefish id like to see the invasive species gone first and crayfish as a second forage re introduced back in numbers into the lake and see if that makes a diffrence.

just remember not to have open cuts and try not to get in the water too much, leptospirosis wouldnt be fun! love the smallies!

was that saturday? im glad you guys wernt wacking em in front of me i was strugglin all day to get a few hahahahaha tell luke and the wife congrats!

dont feel to bad this isnt like mainland fishing, although its improved the past 2 years there are more not catching days than catching days, and saturday was ton the tuff side.

oops it cost about 1500$ to flat rack 5 years ago

boat sizes aside,as long as we all keep it withing reason i dont see a problem with size of outboard or boat, just keep in mind there are alot of kayaks and rubber rafts and guys with electric motors and at full plane on a bassboat in our little lake it wouldnt take me for disaster around a corner. ...

not so much for me, miki miki flats area was bust central in the morning. but always out of range and the ones i did get very little runt tucs, nothing over a lb. alot of work chasing for 2 fish.glad someone was hitting hawgs cause i threw into cover all morning with jigs and worms and creatures and...
