This site began as a blog in 2014, as I struggled to learn how to nearshore fish Oahu more effectively, after returning home from a long stint on the Mainland.  Along the way I met some great folks who shared info, fresh fish and aloha and I tried to pass that on through the blog, except for the fresh fish.

I’ve been blessed to fish regularly with a few talented shore, SUP and boat fishers and the site’s content began to  reflect this wider circle of knowledge.

In 2018 we decided to transform the blog into a hub of timely fish reports, how to tips, product reviews, recipes and videos the Hawaii nearshore fisher would care about but couldn’t easily find elsewhere.  

In 2019 we added an online store stocking innovative products not found in the local tackle shops.  We especially love helping the newer, smaller businesses get exposure in the Hawaii market.

We greatly appreciate your readership and support over the years.  If you would like to join the community of sharers, please let us know via the Contact page.

Mahalo nui loa,
