          I usually fish on the eastside of the island...kualoa,kaawaa,punaluu,hauula,laie point.sometimes i venture out to other parts of the island.as of right now i have not caught an ulua YET!!! but its the thought and just getting out is what makes it worth while!! if and when the weather is good then i jump on the boat and plug for them(but still no ulua!!!)hmmmm...do i sense a curse????heheh

Sorry Dean, been busy to respond.

Sounds like you are locked and loaded for those Uluas.  Don't worry about not catching.  There are many that are fishing and not catching.  It took me 6 years before I caught my first Ulua, and I caught it on Kauai.  Went to fish Molokai as well, and no joy.  That was my first and also my last, but it didn't stop me.  You just have to keep going and enjoy the peace that is out when you are near the breaking surf.  Man, I wish we took pics.  I went immediately to the whoo hoo, then was chopped up for sashimi for the family.

Hanapa'a my friend.

I have the same problem trying to catch a Wahoo.  Maybe I should take a trip to Hawaii for a Ulua instead . Dominick
