The rains are here. After a severe drought we finally are getting some rain. The leases look good again. It is the first time I am not grumbling for getting wet out there. The animals are going to be ok now. It is green again finally! Hunting has been tough because it is so green the animals patterns have changed and they are hard to see.
Jamie Spears and his wife Ann came to visit us again this year. Jamie and good friend Kent Kelly came to hunt and fish with us a couple years ago. They invited Pat Fisher of Hawaii Safaris and I to hunt at Kent’s ranch for elk and we both got real nice bulls. It was good to see Jamie again and was good he timed the fishing right. We caught this nice ahi in the south school after we tagged this spearfish. It was nice of him to sit still. The next shot is funny of him jumping in the water.

We did it! It is always amazing to see how much a relatively small fish can be so rewarding to catch. Most days they are caught by accident and not appreciated like they are when we are chasing them for a slam or a record. At 9:00 we got a double outside of where we …
Earl and Pam Warren came to Kona in search of the spearfish that are common to Kona this time of year. Going into the week we were optimistic due to the numbers that were here at the end of January. True to form the spears disappeared right before we started. I kept in touch with …

Today my family and I took the 40 out fishing to fish for the good run on spears that Kona has been seeing. The boats that have been going out have done very well catching something each day. We gave a half day and had 2 bites on stripeys and taught this nice mahi.
