Kauai Papio Action

[Stan Wright]

Since the cool water temperature in the lake has slowed the peacock bass action.... some of us have taken to the salt water for our fishing fix.

Over on Kauai the guys have been targeting the papio (that's an ulua weighing under 10 pounds) In this case it's the bluefin trevally which the Hawaiians call 'omilu. It's one of the family of trevally more commonly referred to as GT... Giant Trevally. They are all really aggressive and fun to catch.... good eating too.

Mark ( www.markwhitelures.com ) sent me some pictures of the papio they've been catching. I know these fish are under 10 pounds because that lure in their mouth is about the size of the tip of your little finger. LOL

Thanks for the pictures Mark, so, when are we going fishing?
Aloha,
Stan

I think this is Mark Nakatsukasa fishing Pakala, on Kauai. He was using 4# test to catch this nice papio. Lucky you live Hawaii.
