Shimano Waxwing review is in latest Lawai’a magazine

December 2, 2015 By Scott 3 Comments

(page 1 of 4)

My Waxwing in-depth review is in the current Lawai’a magazine.  It’s a lot more cohesive than the miscellaneous Waxwing fishing reports I’ve been posting.  Included are some tips to fish the lure more effectively.

Also included in the magazine is a write-up on the Nitta Innovations bait harness, designed for easily rigging dead ballyhoo, akule and opelu to troll.

You can purchase Lawai’a at these fine retail outlets.

Lawai’a cover #18

This latest issue is chock full of short, really interesting articles like

  • Outbluffum Lure underwater photos
  • how to build a portable cot shelter for overnight fishing
  • Ahi Assassins restaurant review
  • fly fishing Lake Wilson
  • 2014 National Spearfishing Championship
  • hybridization of fish species
  • Tsutomu lures

 and my second article in a series of three, on my CA fishing days.    Sorry for the shameless plug.  And no, my last name isn’t spelled “Haraguhi”.  Somehow that was missed in the proofing!

Lawai’a Magazine

Lawai'a coverAre you guys familiar with the relatively new Lawai’a Magazine?  It’s only a few years old but has eye popping photos and great articles covering all the aspects of Hawaii fishing including fish eating.  It comes out quarterly, and you can purchase it in tackle stores and poke shops like Tanioka’s for less than $4.

In the current issue, you’ll find my first article, titled “Early Days”.  Lawai’a, which means fisherman in Hawaiian, gave me a bit of space to chronicle how I started surfboard fishing in the 80’s on a leaky tanker I found under the someone’s house.  Check it out and try not to laugh at the picture of me wearing short Quiksilver shorts!
