Ono Season
Aloha, it is Ono season here in Hawaii. They like to bite during the full moon. Went out yesterday and got 7 from 30-60lbs. Doug is a fly guy from Oregon, and he tried his best to get one on the fly, but after he reeled in the 60lber on conventional tackle he had some second thoughts about the fly. Lots of fresh fish at our house. Made some coconut beerbatter tempura ono tonight, yummy. Headed back out tomorrow with another friend. Mems.

Mems; Those Ono look to be real mean fighting fish. Bet they give you a real workout to land them.
Hope tomorrow proves to be a good day. Have Fun. Jax

Aloha guys, went out today and got three more and one nice mahi. The bite was wild ono jumping out of the water to hit the lures, some wild action.
I have gotten a couple of ono on the fly, but only to 20lbs. Best bet is a floating log or cargo net where they are hanging out. The little ones I caught are called rockets and man do they run fast. Nothing, even big bones takes line that fast. But after two runs they are normally pretty spent. These big ones would smoke some line! They smoked some of the 130 shimanos. They are very impressive fish. I wish I had more shots at them with the fly, but it just doesn't happen that often. Tonight it is ono veracruz, and some blackened ono for pupus. Have a Great Easter, Mems.
