Going to try my luck at kayak fishing on friday. Any pointers? And where would be a good place to start fishing from the boat ramp? I've been reading about cow pt. and boyscout island...is that a pretty good trek on a kayak?

Appreciate any input!

I would just nest fish from the bridge until you get tired. The other places you mentioned are a good Kayak ride. I would be tired from it.

Are you one of the guys from Hickam?

How'd you guess that?

Its a small island!

It is pretty darn far from the ramp to Boy Scout island. I did it once and I was pretty beat. After that I started putting in right across from Boy Scout island along the road right after the stop light/turn off to Schoffield. If you can drag your kayak back up the hill to your vehicle then it is a great place to put in.

That's some great info. I was wondering if I could put in somewhere else. Thanks!

Two place you might consider which have produced for me in the past are these located just a short paddle from the ramp on the South Fork:

TUCANARE COVE

This area had produced Tucanare using gold Rapala Minnows or live bait

BLUEGILL BAY

The SE side of this bay in the past has produced hand sized Bluegills especially in the spring.

Disclaimer: I just recently moved back to Oahu from Maui after an absence of 14 years so conditions may have changed in the meantime so YMMV.

Thanks for all the info guys. Should be a good time!

Let us know if you do go out. I was going to haul my yak down there one of these days as well. I was going go launch at ramp and turn right, paddle a bit and see what happens.

I generally go out into the blue, but want to try the lake as well.
