Kona Keiki Fishing Tournament

Hello Everyone. I am looking to see if anyone would send me fishing equipment to test for them! I fish almost everyday. Mainly freshwater creeks and streams. I fish for bass,catfish,carp, and trout. Message me for details.

We had a great day fishing on the Seabiscuit and got a chance to catch some nice White Sea Bass. We ended up with three on the boat and lost a few and full limits of nice rockfish, reds and lings. Another great day I hope you can join us one of these days.

Baits get hot in the fishing world overnight. It happens all of the time. Someone catches a giant bass on this, or someone wins a tournament on that. It is so common that we don’t even think about the progression of how the lure came to be, or what characteristics make it different from similar offerings. We just know that it’s hot now. It doesn’t…

Last 2 day have been fun . Yesterday I had Mr. Joey and his family in for a great day of fishing.

Thanks Guys for the fun day hope to see y’all again soon. Today I had the pleasure of fishing with  Mr Tom and Mrs Tracy from Missouri . With  weather closing in from the West we were pressed for time before the rain may set in.…

can I test fishing gear?

                By name, it’s simply known as a Griffith’s Gnat, nothing spectacular and often overlooked, but to me, it’s so much more…

                When I think back to my beginnings into fly fishing, one of the first flies I learned to tie was the Griffith’s Gnat. Nothing more than a hook covered with a peacock herl and then some grizzly hackle to finish off the fly. Looking at it, most people wonder what exactly it’s imitating. In the eyes of the fish, whatever the gnat is…

March 24th brought Rick and his friend down to the Tropical Sun for another shot at the elusive blue marlin. After 9 hard hours of hunting the Tropical Sun arrived back at the dock without a single bite.  Spirits were still high when our group left and their hopes were that their last day of the 5-day charter would produce their goal of catching the "beast".  On the…
