EASY, AFFORDABLE HAWAIIAN FISHING
return, you can explain to the locals why otherwise sane mainlanders strap on skis or ski boards and go out in freezing weather to "surf on snow."
You aren't limited to salt chuck either. You can if you like, catch exotic freshwater species like Peacock Bass, a freshwater Chinese catfish that eats lures, tilapia or even prize examples of feral aquarium species like Oscars. Add American classics like largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel catfish, bluegills and, on Kauai, rainbow trout from the rain forest. All you need here is your usual tackle, and a Hawaiian freshwater fishing license.
Good spots for peacock and black bass include Wahiawa Public Fishing Area on Oahu near Schofield Barracks where the limits allow no more than four Peacock, and an assortment of streams, ditches and farm ponds on the other islands.
Kauai visitors find trout from the Kokee Public Fishing Area an unusual August option during the first 16 or so days of the season and on weekends and holidays until the end of September.
