I'm back from Hawaii and although
I did very little fishing there (mostly Molokai), I still remember
how to fish, kinda--especially for bass.
Hogan's turned me on to a hot swimbait, the
Robo-Swimbaits. I got the Smelt colored ones.
The bass won't leave them alone.The sandies jumped
all over this bait, and so did a 4-5lb Calico, who hit it on
the surface with a wicked strike, 2' from my boat.

Then the most surprising of all, a beautiful (40-50lb)
Black sea Bass on my Yosiree in 20' of water.
Thanks Arnold & the MLPA for letting me fish just one more day.
Big Calico released to fight another day. Yani
