It’s the first week of August and like clock work the oama are filling in around the island and omilu are coming into the shallows to grind ’em. Omilu are even being caught on frozen shrimp now, in places that weren’t biting a week ago.
White papio are schooling up to feed and spawn, and kaku are hanging around the sardine schools, falling for lures that resemble the baitfish.
Halalu have been in for a few weeks and are drawing bigger predators.
We suspect this isn’t gonna be a long season, so get out and get yours now!
