Hawaiian Bonefish 4, Josh Negative 4

Back from Oahu and the bones defeated me, soundly.  After 8 hours of flying with an 8 month old with a double ear infection I dont have the energy tonight to throw up a proper write up.  That will have to come tomorrow.

Until then, know this.  DIY bonefishing on Oahu can be done, but it aint easy....even with local intel.

But hell, if it was easy....everyone would be doing it.

Barnyard Bonefishing in Hawaii

In preparation of chasing bones on the flats in Oahu, I thought I'd hone up my skills on the flock of barnyard bonefish that inhabit the flats in front of our accommodations on the North Shore.

This band of beaks fit the proflie.  Cagy, great eyesight, discerning palates, but I was up to the challenge.

Using natural cover to shield our progress to the flock, we made our way into striking distance.

I locked into my targeted barnyard bonefish....

Dropped the hammer....

And promptly stubbed my toe.....

Till next time, till next time.......

Almost Ready....

Just a few more to go and we're ready to rock. 

Oahu bound Monday.  Boom!

Hawaiian Bonefish Math...

So add all this stuff up and together,

You get flies like this, 

And this.   So the net result should be....

Headed to Oahu in a few days.  My fingers are crossed.
