Octopus: tentacles (looks like worms) and body cut in long strips works well for harbor fishing and shore casting.
Baby squid, whole, works well also.
White eel, cut in long strips, works too.
Caution: It has been my experience that fish caught in the Pearl Harbor waters will leave dark,
oil-like residue on your cutting board when cleaning and filleting. Didn’t take a chance on eating it.
Try fishing Sandy Beach’s cleaner, open ocean waters for ulua (jack crevally), oio (bone fish), kaku (barracuda).
Haleiwa and Nanakuli beaches are good fishing spots also for papio (young ulua), kumu (goat fish), moi (threadfin fish).
Have fun catching. Hazel H
