Pete’s first omilu
Took Justin and Pete from Berkeley, CA out while the reef was low enough to wade to the breakers. Pete, whose main sport is cycling, got the hang of avoiding snags and did a number on the fish. He went from losing hinaleas in the pot holes yesterday to catching a mix bag of omilu, various types of hinalea and a humu.
Justin’s first ever omilu
Justin tried his homemade Thai fish sauce flavored bait and brought in omilu and hinalea, and ended the day with a mystery fish that broke him off just as we were about to leave.
The omilus bit best as the tide started to come into the reef, even though it was after 9am. I like these fish that allow us to sleep in a bit.

Sorry for the bad PhotoShopping. Didn’t want to upset the regulars by revealing the location. All the fish were released.
Tomorrow we plan to hunt the oio on the flats.
Scott, couldn’t ask for a better time! Thanks for showing me the ropes!
My pleasure Pete. You’re a quick learner and take a good on-the-water photo!
