Hawaii on the Fly – Oahu
Guided bonefishing in Hawaii with captains Mike Hennessy and Collin Huff, both of whom bring what they call a “crazy passion” to their profession. Monster bonefish are the target, and the hunting ground is the waters around Oahu – the fishing can be tough, but it’s always rewarding. All skill levels are catered for and casting instruction can be provided.

The fishing
Bonefishing in Hawaii is seldom easy. The fish here are ancient, wise and large, and they didn’t get that way by being easy to catch. Nevertheless, Mike and Collin reckon to see anywhere between 40 and 100 fish on an average day, with 30 decent shots not an unreasonable expectation. As they say, “Knowing when and where to hunt these beautiful fish is 90% of the battle. We specialize in putting our clients in the zone.”
Fish average 8lb, with double-figure slobs not uncommon. Their best bonefish on the fly came in at 13.5lb, with the top specimen on spinning gear weighing in at 16lb.
Hawaii on the Fly have guided such fishing luminaries as Chris Santella (author of Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die) and John Brownlee (Editor-in-Chief of Saltwater Sportsman), the latter having this to say: “I have been fortunate enough to fish with a lot of great captains in some of the best waters on the planet, and the days I have spent fishing with Captain Mike Hennessy rank right up there with my favorite trips.”
