calm, overcast conditions
The flats were calm with light Kona winds and overcast skies. Tide was too low for the surfboard so I walked it.
Great day to try the weights painted orange to resemble the eggs of sand turtles.
After 45 mins of inactivity I gave the orange weight 5 more casts before changing back to the regular red color, and boom, an almost legal omilu hit.
Then two legal moanas bit near the reef dropoff.
The bite slowed so I tried the gold kastmaster and all I got was a very confident lizardfish.
Back to the orange weight and cut bait and an oio was on! Papio, oio and goatfish, is that close to an Oahu inshore sweep?
Not sure if the orange color helped but it didn’t seem to hurt.
Decided to catch, photograph and release (CPR) so the fish were alive and moving when I took their pics.
[…] and even have a secret rig to try out, so I guess I have to go back and gather more data! Click here to see how the experimental rig worked […]
