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.

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.
