Aloha, it is summer in Hawaii and the fishing is good. I got this papio today, small GT on a 6wt bvk TFO rod. Got a couple of 5lb bones the past couple of days. Off shore is hot with nice ahi comming in. We plan on going on sunday. The HIBT, Hawaii international billfish tourney just ended. My friends released a couple of small male marlin, but had a good time in Kona. Right now the oama, baby goat fish are in so the papio are hungry. Hope you all have a good end to summer, Mems.
Hey Mems.
Fun fish to catch those Caranx species. Whether Bluefin, Geets or Biggies.
I'm pretty sure this is a Big Eye (Caranx sexfasciatus) though. Too much yellow on the anal fin and caudal tip and the white tips are tell tale. They were our bread and butter fun fish in the small shories during the SE windy season in the Seychelles.
