This guy was hooked on a basic 3 way swivel rig with a chunk of akule for bait, fished in a small sand channel in about 6ft of water. Kind of funny I was also fishing a floating rig for bait and had the flounder rise  to strike my floater, a few moments later; he struck my 3 way swivel rig.

Thanks wailua boy. Hungry guy. The ones I've seen are in the sand.
Which's the "real" Wailua, big island, or Kaua'i?

[wailua boy]

I'm a Kauai boy, born and raised in Wailua Homesteads but reside on Maui but my folks are still in Lawai, so I visit often. We actually have a town called Wailua here on Maui too, close to Keanae.

Here's a smaller flatfish species, caught and released shorecasting on a sliding sinker rig

Cool!
I'm bout 2 miles east of Lawai, off Omao Rd. I fish mostly off the South shore. The Wailua reservior skunked me about 4 times, but I managed to get some Smallies down behind the dam. Whatsa meaning of "Wailua".

 Omao is a nice area. I have a few friends on the street, wonder if you know them. Wailua has a few translations but most commonly means two waters or a conflux in a river. Wai =freshwater and lua = 2
