Aloha, I spent the weekend with my wife on Oahu. Joy was awarded Hawaii Red Cross volunteer of the year for her work with disaster relief. It was a weekend for her, so no fishing, but we did get to do some snorkeling with a school of bonefish down in Waikiki.

This spot is right across from the zoo and thousands go by it each day not knowing what lies just next to this pier. It is a non-fishing zone and the bonefish thrive there.

This is the view from the pier, can you see the bonefish?

Just below the surface roam some large oio, hawaiian bonefish.

There are some other fish like this bluefinned trevally, but the bones are the main attraction

The fish are very tame and they love to eat bread.

Joy enjoyed feeding them out of her hands. They followed us like puppies.

I got into the act a little, but really enjoyed just taking pictures of the bonefish.

We even got them to eat some bread on the surface, top water bones!

So if you ever are in Waikiki and walk by this pier make sure to have some bread and your mask and snorkel and go swim with the bonefish. Mems
