Undercover Fisherman

Weather was calm and there was one more friend I really wanted to see get an Ahi this year.  He is the masked man who needs no introduction.  He is our great friend, brother, willing to give his heart to you and always there no matter what!  You find him undercover and behind the scenes doing whatever needs to be done.  He is on the all black team, ninga warrior, fish whisperer...

He looks for low flyers and high flyers and calls the fish to bite!  So it was only a matter of minutes before we got da bite!  We set our first string Gaji lures out and our MVP came through again.  Outrigger slams and fish on!  20 minutes we had it in the boat.

Then he took off his mask for a photo then put it back on.

After almost 2 years of being on the Red Sea boat, his first trip back out and bingo!  

He scraped the meat good and now it will be eaten by all his friends and family!  Congrats James "McGuyver" Oshiro and mahalos for always being a great friend!  

Toad on the road

Got a chance to get one last ahi before the season ends.  Al, Cat, and I headed out early to get the worm and it paid off as we ran over this toad on the yellow brick road again.  My corner 80 shimano reel went off and got um in 20 minutes.  Great teamwork!

Even managed to find a few mahis to mix up the game.  Mahalos to all my crew, friends, family and sponsors who helped us put meat on the table this ahi season.  We hoped you enjoyed eating the fish as much as we had catching them.  Now time to start traveling!

Tackle football

Hurricane Hector brought some nice sunsets and great fishing action!  Bite was on and we were lucky to get out there.  We found some birds and it was non-stop action all from dawn to dusk.

Some stars and stripes to mix things up for a change.  

To Cats, 8 Cows and a dozen Footballs to close out the day!  Thanks to my Red Sea Crew for all their hard work at the dock, on the boat, in the kitchen, cutting cleaning and all they do!

Season Over?

Wow did you see that big fire out west?  Well we got a ocean view with 3 blazes going!  Al calling in the fish...

Smoke everywhere!  This was possibly our last time fishing Waianae this year so we headed out early to find the worm.  Everyone was at one area so we left and went to hunt.   Found some birds and bingo!  Came in early.

Mahalo to my crew for another good day on the water.  Is the season over?  I don't think so… TBC…

HSD Mag Vol. 73

New Hawaii Skin Diver Magazine vol. 73 is out on the news stands.  My nephew Kai got his first article in first few pages along with a story from Owen Adams Jr. on Christmas island.  Check it out!

Another fun day surfing practicing lefts today.  Small bump coming next week but keep an eye on hurricane Hector for some east swell too!

Surf Break

Took a few days off fishing to fix my motors and reset for next week.  Little bump in town so grabbed a few waves.  Got this fun app that tracks your waves, speed, distance etc.  Good to warm up for Indo waves soon!

Boat Repairs

What does acronym B.O.A.T. stand for? Bust out another thousand!  Always having to fix and repair things but I glad I know a good mechanic who can help me anytime.  My friend Jason is smart and over the phone told me what to do.  I was a little nervous pulling out all these wires.

But got to the source of the problem and changed these two parts so I can fish again.  Now I gotta go fix my broken reel.

My other friend Ray is selling his 36 foot radon if anyone is interested.  Its only $250,000 but worth $455,000.  It's on craigslist.
