Non-kayak report from Maui - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wow, I miss that place. The shore fishing for Uluas
is a religion! They use live octopus as bait to attract
the uluas (monster jack trevally); then fight the beasts
from shore. Many Hawaiian fisherman have died in the
rocks and surf trying to land those puppys.

I lived and worked at Kihei. And you're right, those charter
boats would never let you take your catch home. They
sell it to the local hotels/restaurants. Say hi to my friends
at the local Greek restaurant, the Pita Paradise.
