Hawaii Flats Fishing

[StanWright]

Clay, over at Nervous Water, told me our bud and Sims rep, John Sherman was in town recently and had a pretty epic trip to Hawaii. He fished a couple of days on Molokai with Capt. Clay Ching and, in addition to some bones, got a white ulua (giant trevally) on his bonefish setup. Way to go man! That’s like the Holy Grail of fly fishing in Hawaii. So far as Clay knows, there have only been a few g.t.’s that have been hooked and landed on a fly here and John’s may just be the biggest yet.

Clay said after that, he and Sean spent this past Friday out on K-bay and John annihilated that place too. According to Sean, there were more bones out there that day than there has been in a long time. John ended up getting three out of five, and went one for two with fish in the ten pound region.

In addition to being a great guy and a flat out ridiculous fly fisherman, John's apparently got the mega fish juj as well (one of the deadliest combinations known to mankind).
You said it Clay. Thanks for the report.
Aloha,
Stan

Stan, Great Pics!
I didn't even know Hawaii had flats fishing with all that coral. Besides Molokia what other islands have flats fishing? I usually hit the glades and keys a couple times each winter. Never did much flats fishing as thought it'd be too tough for my son to do. Now that I was thinking this is the year he's old enough to try, the area is threatened with oil. We have a late December trip to Kauai already booked. If oil ends up in the Glades I was already thinking Hawaii for an early Feb trip as well. We have direct flights to HNL and only 4 days so I was thinking Oahu. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
