It was a Holo Holo fishing day. Just fishing for the fun of it. The peacock bass were schooling, chasing tiny shad. We figured 'tiny shad'..... tiny lures and ultra light tackle. Using 4# test spinning outfits and small white road runner jigs, we set off for a day of fun.
And fun it was. The fish averaged 1 to 2 pounds. The largest peacock bass weighed just a little over 4 pounds.
When the fish broke the surface, shad leaping from the water, any lure landing in the feeding frenzy would attract a strike. When the fish were down, we used live talipia with one BB size split shot. Those little bait fish would really get excited when a tuke or bass came around.
It was really exciting having 3 people hooked up using 4# test line. OK every one...... your on your own!
Aloha,
Stan
