Hi Paul, thanks for looking. The flying fish are quite abundant in these parts but can vary with the seasons. They are really entertaining when the fish aren't biting. [;)]
Thanks for the congrats to my daughter. She was able to graduate in 4 years which is hard to do these days.
Aloha, Rocky

A lot of surface activity around our boat brings in the colorful and unique malolo. (flying fish)
Lolo means crazy in hawaiian.

Hi Bob,
nice outing with your son. How old is he?

The malolo are beautiful fish and they can fly (actually sail 2 or 3 hundred yards) at a time.
We usually throw um back but sometimes they injure themselves so we keep them. They have sweat meat but very bony.
The place were we fish used to be a area were cattle ranchers would swim cattle out to boats to ship off island during the 1900's and I'm sure they are a lot of bottles out in the sandy bottom.
I don't have the courage to dive so I'll never know!

Oh man. How could you not dive that spot? It doesn't take any courage. Its just flat-out-fun.

(However, you do need proper training and to be careful).

Hi Greg, nice tuna. You could make some nice carpaccio with that one!

Aloha, Rocky

Thats true Bob, the real reason I don't dive is that I work up on a 13,796 foot mountain and diving is out of the question. I used to do a lot of free diving but my ears just can't take that anymore either.[:(]

Aloha, Rocky
