I Learned This From Years Of Shore Casting & Using UW Video Cameras!
When a fish is hungry it won't be "picky". But when they do get picky i found that if they attack a baited ringed hook that flips back & forth on the bottom when played with and if there's a current or surge that causes that baited hook to move to move on it's own it'll excites the predator into striking. I've seen this on using UW video cameras.
Even though i mostly use dead baits i also use live crabs that i catch on location. When i do my catch rate percentage goes way up. Most experienced anglers know this but t ..read more

Growing-up I Used To Catch The Bus Here For 10cents From Kaimuki!
I grew-up nearby & started hitting this place as it was only a 10min bus ride from my childhood home. I used to spear fish & grab seashells & octopus here while growing-up. Then i never came back. +6yr ago i decided to return just for memories bringing 2 Okuma rigs with me. A lot of memories still here.
It was nice to see this place virtually untouched. The remains of the pier is completely gone. The car in the canal is also gone & has been replaced by a boat. And i almost stepped on a Samoan Crab, like i did a ..read more

Sharing My Choice Of 15lb Braid For My New Shimano 4K NASCI Reel!
Can't believe when i spooled 300yd of this same 15lb braid on my NEW Handing 4K Spinning Reel last week that it only filled roughly 80% of the spool. But on my new NASCI 4K it "barely" accepted all the line. This is my 2nd NASCI. My 1st is in storage. Had 2 because back then i'd always purchase a back-up.
I'm putting this combo on my new Handing 8'6" Mirage Spinning Rod. Looks & feels good! As far as i know i have the first Mirage sent to the States. I used the Fishon Spooler by Sportsman Innovations for all my spooling ne ..read more

In This Dirty Water? Everything Was!
It was mostly young Hammerhead Sharks giving some good runs & a big Puffer that kept cutting my line. Still it was interesting peering into their World to see what was going on at the other end. On clear days with no runoffs i don't get much action. A lot depends on the tide to water conditions & choice of bait used ..read more

Some Of My Favorite Underwater Clips Taken While Surf Casting Hawaii!
Aloha all. I've been using Spydro UW Cameras for years & even though the company doesn't seem to be in business anymore i've been able to help them by a few simple modifications that i made to take nearly stational videos. I was going to improve on my original modifications but there seems to be no reason for that now. Hope everyone enjoys them ..read more

These Are My Favorite Moments of 2019 When Hooking Jack Trevallies! This was the year i started using Okuma fishing gear so i was slowly putting away my Shimano to Penn equipment into storage. I had a lot to learn about the change in my equipment & i'm still learning even till this day. I prefer to target smaller reef fishes rather than wait around for the big boys to finally show up. I basically have more fun fishing this way ..read more

The New Upgraded Azores Spinning Reel by Okuma!
I've been using both the original & new Azores spinning reels for many years. These are TANKS! The original series brought in a 5ft GT years ago. I haven't had any of my units fail me. Ever. And i own 8 models. The only complaint i've heard is that there's no Gomexus alternative for them. But last year i was working with Vernon of Gomexus USA and we modified matching combos for both the original & the new Blues! It's a true TANK. Never had one fail me yet ..read more

One of The BEST BAITS Around Live or Frozen!
On this morning i decided to try a bag of frozen Sand Fleas even though the weather looked "questionable". For almost 40min small fish to crabs were stealing my baits. Then the pouring rains came & i had to retreat back. But i wanted to share how i put together my pre-rigged leaders for sand fleas. Also my choice of leaders to the hooks. There's really no right or wrong way to fish sand fleas. Live or frozen they're awesome baits ..read more

Eric Gima Overpowered a Ray Using His 10' Hurricane Bluefin Rod!
Not bad for a Walmart rod! Up till then never heard of it. And Eric used an old Penn Spinning Reel, still have that same model as well. And what did Eric use for bait? My favorite live crab as he watches my channel. I only helped at the end by helping to release the Ray safely back. Always a great fight ..read more
