God I luv that place. The smell, the weather, the plants. Man I got to get back there soon. 25th anniversary maybe. Hope you did the volcano sunrise and bike ride down, Hookipa beach windsurfers, Hana, I'm so jealous. I like Big Island the best though and Kona fishing is very good and very close to shore as it is unthinkably deep a stones throw out so no long rides I 'd say. They start trolling in channel on way out it is so deep. I just wandered around the 100's of charter boats in Kona and asked for info and prices. I am sure there are seasons when each species is abundant but I have no knowledge of that. No helpful info on Maui fishing either from me but I just luv talking about Hawaii so I had to put my useless 2 cents in.  Have fun and enjoy yourself. The withdrawals coming home will suck for sure.  |
We HATED the big Island-- it was our least favorite--stayed at the MASSIVE Hilton Resort , took us 20 minutes to get from the jeep to our room. Place was huge. Wife swam with the dolphins, I watched the sun set with Dennis Eckersley, cool water park, but it ended there. We drove as far south as the pink and black sand beaches, saw the turtles, and took the jeep completely airborne, but it was just too big. And the whole Kona side of the island is like the moon from all the lava flows. A barren wasteland.
I just came in from changing the water in my live well....its cold out...I wanna go back to hawaii...............
