surf casting spots

What part of the island are you visiting? I have seen lots of surf casting on the east side at ';Fishing Access'; pathway just off Leho/Nehe Roads. This is located just before you enter the newly created campground area and just behind Wailua Municipal Golf Course, and practically in front of the Castle Kaha Lani Resort. I have seen folks drop line at Akuhini Harbor (old cane train loading area just about a mile north of the airport) and along the old roadway between Kalapaki Beach and Nawiliwili Harbor. On the south side, I have seen lots of folks fishing at Salt Point...mostly using small rigs with multiple hooks, pulling in strings of red eye (?proper name).

You can get the real lowdown on fishing at the Waipoli Variety Store (4-901 Kuhio Hwy in Kapaa) in Waipouli Plaza. The Shell Factory is the first shop you will see. The variety store is along the back side. They have a huge fishing equipment department, rigs and jigs) and souvenir items as well.

Cool, thanks, I am staying at the Hyatt so would like to go around there, early AM while the Wife sleeps in.

Aloha Tim...I meant Salt Pond (not ';Salt Point'; in NoCal) which is near Poipu. Ask around.

The Waipouli Variety store I mentioned above is about a 35-minute drive from Poipu to the Kapaa area.

Closer to you at about 15 minutes is Rainbow Paint and Fishing Supplies in the town of Eleele (sounds like alayalay) on Ala Ula St on the way to Port Allen. As I recall they provided my cousin with a print out of local fishing.

There is also Lihue Fishing Supply is on 2985 Kalena just off Rice St in Lihue, about two blocks east of Kress St (site of Hamura%26#39;s, the saimin restaurant).

If you are staying at the Hyatt there is a hike up a rock formation to the left if you are facing the ocean. Right on top of the huge rock formation on the point there are some pvc tubes attached to the ground which I would assume are fishing rod holders. What a great place to go sit and watch the sunrise or sunset even w/out a pole. You may get a real treat if the local boys decide to jump off that point into the ocean. Crazy!

Thank you all - we are leaving TOMORROW! %26amp; have watched for info about shore fishing as my husband is also bringing gear. This is the best info I%26#39;ve seen on the forum %26amp; perfect timing! If you see a white haired, khaki shorted, Hemingway wannabe on the shore this coming week, it%26#39;s probably him!

Thanks again for all the info. Can%26#39;t wait to get there next week.

Hopfully I%26#39;ll be hitting the surf on Tuesday AM.

tim peacock bass and other bass in fresh water. surf casting build your own pvc pipe carrier or use golf bag hardshell cover carrier. Other carrier tubes may need reinforcing. Do pay attention for rogue waves (don%26#39;t turn back to water) and stay away from blow holes. Enjoy and come back and post.
