Kayak fishing in Hawaii

Hi guys,

Last minutes travel plan to Honolulu on New Year.   Would love to spend a day kayak fishing there if I can rent a kayak and fishing tackles from a local fishing/diving shop there.  Any intel or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I think you will have a hard time finding someone to set you up for kayak fishing out there due to the shark factor.

I asked around a little when I was on Maui, and mostly got the "you're f*cking crazy" look...

Good luck!

hate to break it to you, the look wasn't bc you were asking around about yakfishing

good luck sonny. 

Not sure about Oahu but there must be something there.  I rented a kayak and fishing gear in Kona on the big island last summer and had a blast chasing pelagics.  And yes, I did see an enormous tiger shark.  It didn't eat me.

I've fished out of big island a few times, and Honolulu once.

I just brought my own reels and lures, and bought a cheap tiger ugly stick at walmart. I forget the name of the place we rented the yaks from, but it was over on the other side at that big ass bay, near that ocean park thing. I didn't bother to tell them I was fishing.
Just trolled the flats arundel that bay, got a couple of barracuda, and some little-is Jacks on rapalas.

Good luck Sonny!  Take lots of pictures.

Of all people I'm sure you'll find a way to score a yak and get OTW. Good luck buddy! Looking forward to the report and of course the pictures

I'm sure he already has been checking craigslist to buy one and will post it for sale before he leaves!

Ask Boogie-d. He is one of the guys on the Pacific Warriors show and lives on Oahu.

Thanks for the inputs guys.  So far I've found a kayak rental place around the North shore close to Turtle Bay.

My man Nic G moved from Humboldt to Maui with his wife and baby several months ago, and now he's all into the yak fishing and has a sweet mothership - he might know some Oahu opportunities too...   I think he's most easily contacted through Facebook - try a private message to him or post in Lost Coast Kayak Anglers.  Please tell him I sent you.  Have a great trip!   

Pics, we want pics

Thanks Eric.  I just registered at the Lost Coast Kayak Anglers and look for his name on the member list but can't find Nic G.  What's his handle there?
