Friday was Good

Postby Stan Wright » Sat Mar 28, 2009 9:48 am

John and I used small gold flys to catch bluegill and red devils Friday afternoon. We had several peacock bass on, but with 3 1/2 # test tippets, we kept breaking them off. Exciting while it lasted. :lol:

Chris called me around 10:30 AM and ask if I could bring them some more live bait.... He wouldn't tell me where they were fishing but they had already used the 50 goldfish they had. Mostly peacock bass and a dozen big red devils.

Doug talked Chris into taking him out for a few hours. Here is a picture of him hooked into what they guessed was a 5 or 6 pounder. "Sportsmans Release".... sorry, no fish picture. :lol:
Doug did land a nice 4 pounder after we left.

Where do you get the goldfish from? Walmart or home grown?

I get the goldfish, (medium size feeder fish... Mollies) from Moanalua Pets at Stadium Mall.. (by the Ice Palace) Cost is $10 for 50.... $18 for 100.
488-8843

Call first to make sure they have them. Their shipment comes in on Sunday afternoon.... this week they were sold out by Friday afternoon.
I think Chris got the Bass Tracker in late November. It's from Seattle.

That's a nice dark devil :lol:

Hey Stan, I tried to look around for 128/oz jigheads for you. No go...I've only found really tiny ones with a very small hook and short shank.

The hook shank is too short to tie anything to it. The next up at 1/64oz.

Alternatively, have you considered tying a pin with a small round silver pinhead to the hook? I'd say you would probably get the same weight tying the pin onto the hook. :wink:

Hey, 3 weeks today, at this time, I would have landed in Oahu :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Should we lock in some fishing dates or should we play by ear and see when the wind is more moderate? I am so very game to try my hands at the o'io again...this time with the 10-wt as well...and some of my own flies :wink:

We also have to visit Ji and get him out because he can't get his canoe out with the bummed back :lol: We gotta get him out fishing again...even if it's just trolling at his pond :wink:

And I'll be ready for those little cichlids at the stream :wink:

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...sooooooo much fishing to be done...I'm sooooo excited and happy :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That's OK Ken, thanks anyway. I have the 1/64oz already. Those cute little colorful jugs seem too small for me to work with. :lol: :lol: :lol:

See you soon... I'm tying more barracuda flys.
