Sunday night on Mauna Loa

So Sunday night was kind of a bummer. I started out from shore with my fly rod. I caught three nice pumpkin seeds using a winged, blue fly. Not too shabby for a beginer. I'm starting to get better with my placement, but still have a long way to go.

Around 7:00pm I went out with my brother and father in the 14' Smoker Craft. The weather was clear and sunny. There was a slight wind coming from north until about 8:00pm, then it died. We fished the whole southern end of the lake with nothing to show for our efforts. Then, on my last cast I caught this whopper on the south west end, just near the cove. I was casting near the drop off near a group of lilly pads with a newly aquired, light green Jitterbug. The tally wasn't so good, but it was nice to get out anyway.



Oh, FYI, the Spiderwire worked. I experienced no tangling or knotting!
