Kayak Fishing Offshore Oahu
Here is some GoPro mahimahi footage that my good friend Matt Tanaka edited for me.
"Before 7am I had caught about a dozen baits and began fishing bigger gear"
It was a beautiful day on the north shore of Oahu. The morning started with an early paddle in the dark to get to the fishing grounds. The action had been steady so I was anxiously waiting for the sunrise. As the sun rose on the horizon we were fortunate to find an abundance of bait fish.
Before 7 am I had caught about a dozen baits and began fishing with the bigger gear. It didn't take long for my pole tip to start twitching indicating a very nervous and scared live bait. Soon after the rod bent over and my Bullbuster braided line began peeling from the reel. After a short fight I had a nice sized mahi in the fish bag.
"My Bullbuster gear continues to produce for me and I can't wait to see what holds in store for us this season!"
Unfortunately, throughout the day i took a few strikes that resulted in an empty hook but that's fishing. Just as I was thinking about calling it a day I took another strike and when I looked up I saw a beautiful mahi leaping from the water lit up in its battle colors.
In a couple minutes I had my second mahi of the day and dinner for family and friends. My Bullbuster gear continues to produce for me and I can't wait to see what holds in store for us this season! Aloha.

Why Getting Your Fluorocarbon In Bulk Can Help You Spend More Time Fishing - One way to get ready for an intense season of spring fishing is to pre rig leaders. If you are a series fisherman get a bulk spool of fluorocarbon and get tying! A 50 yard skein is going to be a waste of time. Get out a box of ziplock and a sharpie and get rigging!
Why Buying Braid In Bulk Can Help You Spend More Time Fishing - We all know braid is more expensive than mono but it also lasts a whole lot longer.

Getting Your Swivels In Bulk Packs Can Help You Spend More Time Fishing - Again it all comes down to preparation. Get a bulk pack of swivels and keep on box on your boat or travel case, and keep the other pack safely tucked away in your fishing closet to avoid any corrosion.
