:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Opelu fishing is almost lost. In south kona I see two boats and one day I saw a single lawai'a outside Lapakahi park opelu fishing. Before candy and sweets, dried Opelu and dried aku were favorites. Once in a while, a roadside store near Hookena has dry Opelu.
shows how it was done. Waianae, Oahu Hawaiian Style Opelu Fishing, Hokai Ua Lawai,a Makapa'a
  Chunky Leslie lives in Napoopoo, The Last Opelu Fisherman.

I could not get the link to highlight so I included the YouTube title.

There is rarely a day you can't buy dried Aku, and often Opelu, just north of Electric Beach on Oahu. I never did figure out what all the different names for mackerel were. I liked the cane pole trevally. Cane pole fishing is cane pole fishing, I don't care where you are.
