New State added to my fishing experience.

[Daryk Campbell Sr]

So, I would have never went to this state.  I am not afraid of spiders, snakes, crickets, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes or any other typical fear of nature but one.  This state is known for such horrifying natural circumstances, and even has a National Park named after them.  My wife has life long wanted to go.  I have life long not wanted to go.  But, she gets what she wants.   I will always try to make it happen.  

While this was not the typical way many on here care to fish, or the fish most commonly targeted, it was pretty much my only opportunity. So I took it.   

Yes, it was cane pole fishing off of a tiki dock.  In a stocked pond /lagoon with tilapia and carp.  They feed these fish with pellets and only allow you to fish with dough they provide.  And only off of this dock.   The fish swam right on through the baits as if it was a mine field.  Some interested fish would watch as I tried my best to keep the dough on top, to try to imitate the pellets.  

Weather was great, and I did conquer my fears. 

 

Sincerely,  

FISHLESS in Hawaii.

Hopefully you had or are having a good time. My wife has been there but I haven't yet. I definitely would sneak to try and get some sort of fish while in Hawaii.

I believe the Hawaii is a stop on the way to Christmas Island where you can catch Giant Trevally (GT'S), they can eat low flying sea birds On my list, but probably won't get there. Anyone ever catch a GT?

Why would you not want to go to Hawaii and give up a sack of money, spend 12 hours or more on a plane each way?  Its a tropical paradise.

I would hit Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial.  Go see a live volcano.  And eat bunches of fishes the locals caught for me.
