I know I'm late but that's the awesome thing...anytime even 3 years after a post people can watchb and learn. I just moved back home to Kauai after leaving for 17 years when I graduated high school. Annnnyways long story shorter lol I been watching your videos and aside from being entertaining, I've learned a lot. I just starting fishing few months ago since I've been back cause well...nothing else to do on this island with this covid crap so the rigs, and the techniques, and just watching how you guys do it....for reals been a huge help. Plenty people fishing over here these days and I feel more confident pulling up and not being shame for not knowing a damn thing. So huge mahalos. Also, I saw in one of your guys videos when yall went with a group on a forever hike to a fishing spot and found a centipede etc....anyway noticed when you guys got back to the cars someone had a kamehameha school sticker. Wondering what class and what campus if that was you guys. I'm '03 Kapalama so lived in the dorms cause from Kauai. Long story long already yea but just wanted to send some good vides and love your way and just wanted to say thank you for the tips and everything.
Great job guys! Let me tell you why you're getting positive feedback....You're vids are watchable, fun and informative. King K, you are easy to listen to, and Danny D, you remind me of my younger brah, who was a great fishermen! So many fishing vids have too much, or to little talking, have poor cinematography, loads of bad language.....I could go on! keep up the good work. Kenny P, San Diego
Mo Bettah oh wow kayak fishing is hard work.. hopefully one day me and kapono will be ready to try kayak fishing hopefully we will have someone knowledgeable to show us the correct way to approach that next level of fishing (: thank you for watching our videos hope to see you on the water one day! happy new year
Only went fishing really once in Hawaii I think it was Hawaii Kai and was pretty cool to actually see the reef beneath you while fishing wish I could do some more offshore stuff hopefully next time and great video
Realizing this video is 2 years old, but, I’m on Oahu from Feb 1, 2019 until March 1, 2019 and would love to hang out and fish with you guys for a day or two. I can put line thru eyes really good! LOL
Awesome first timer and will try this!!! Can I tell me where to get my dunking gear at on Oahu prolly picking up a full set on Friday!! Thanks again on a informal video for beginners.
I always recommend ewa beach by and trade as they have hooked us up so much in the past, the owner is Bill and if you let him know we sent you he will hook it up. For cheap stuff Walmart is always prime. What area you live?

Howzit bruders...Thanks for the great vid...Going back to Kauai for the second time in late October...Stayin at Kumu Camp in Anahola for a few, then over to Lihue for about 8 days. I caught quite a few reef fish last time I was there on bobber and squid..I would like to try to catch some bigger fish this time....I didnt keep or prepare any fish last time but would really like to this time.. Any tips on some good spots to fish in Kauai would be sick.. Thank you for sharing the Aloha in your videos. I love to fish in the ocean and think I will watch ALL your vids before I go... Mahalo......................Steven
You can see the reel in the description! And the rod is called a "surf caster". Not even sure who makes them that is all that is on it. They are sweet tho have a pole stand in the hilt.

Have you guys tried using octopus bait by cutting it into chunk cubes? I've used shrimp and squid on dunking but I never caught anything good because they break easily from triggerfish. I started fishing by using shrimp and squid for 3 months and couldn't catch anything. When I used octopus bait on my first cast, I finally caught an emperor fish. Then later another snapper fish all the way up to big bluefin trevally in just a week! Now I have been catching 2-4 pound bluefin trevally. Octopus bait last around 10 minutes compared to squid in a few seconds.
I don't catch because it takes time. I usually buy whole fresh octopus at a local fish market. They sell around $5 - $6 per pound. I cut the octopus leg into cubes and hook them on a 2/0 or 4/0 circle hook. Octopus meat is like a rubber band. It helps me to avoid triggerfish and hook mostly big fish like bluefin trevally and others. A lot of small fish will bite the bait and later the big fish will curiously come around to inspect the whole group of fish and the bait. Soon, it will swallow the whole bait and the fight is on. Fresh octopus can last in the freezer for 2 months. When I first used octopus, I never went back to squid or shrimp. It is perfect for bottom fishing.
Good job boys! Moved here a couple years ago and just getting into shore casting. At my age though I can't get down to the nice spots like I used to since I have some balancing issues. Love to fish and just enjoy getting out. My only critique might be to tone down the volume and repetitive music. Mahalo!
Great video guys!

Similar to a river rig for catfish over here in TN. Good explanation, liked.
Oh bad ass, I figured it had to be common elsewhere too, did not know the name thought.
Though*
Yep, just like we use for the rivers and sloughs in the California Delta. With two hooks a lot of the time too. Nice vid.
I am going to try it out next time we go out! Mahalo!
Thanks for passing the tips along! I mostly fish from a Kayak. Trolling Live Opelu looking for Mahi,Ono,Shibi, Aku and Kamanu,
Ho that is how! Been wanting to get out there myself, keeping my eye open for a used kayak.
Mo Bettah oh wow kayak fishing is hard work.. hopefully one day me and kapono will be ready to try kayak fishing hopefully we will have someone knowledgeable to show us the correct way to approach that next level of fishing (: thank you for watching our videos hope to see you on the water one day! happy new year

Nice video 👍
Mahalo nui loa!
you ever try multiple hooks? there's also a rig I used when I lived in FL called a pulley rig as well you can check out, it works pretty nicely.
I have seen a few people doing somthing similar but have never tried it out! Seems like an awesome rig I will need to do so next time we go, mahalo!
You ever experiment with rocks as a substitute for lead? I always feel shetty knowing i left lead in the water when dunking.
2jzTireBurner oh yea... we use them all the time (: rocks are free and work cherry should have mentioned them in the video! i will mention them the next time we go dunking. yeee!
I use rocks, lead is too expensive.
How do you rig up a rock? Running out of lead but I get plenty rocks
For shrimp i use the the full shrimp with the head and shell on is i break on the 2nd ridge part of the shell from the end of the tail and hook it through the top
Nice! I just bought a dunking rod but didn’t know how to set it up😂😂😂. Thanks guys!🤙🏽
Yea I will try this rig next time I go fishing 👌🏻🐟
Sounds good drop us a line when you use it and tell us how it goes!

Yeah boys
I was fishing this rig but my hook line kept getting mangle tangled in the lead line on the cast ... any tips for avoiding that situation?
chee!!! another solid video boys
Mahalo nui loa!
What type of rod and reel is that? thanks
You can see the reel in the description! And the rod is called a "surf caster". Not even sure who makes them that is all that is on it. They are sweet tho have a pole stand in the hilt.
thanks guys!!! guess what !!! im going fishing today yeah!!!
That is how! You end up having a good time? Nail anything?
Jae Kim yea buddy!!! post your pics on our instagram!
Quick questions guys how tight is the drag setting when dunking with that setup? Tight drag? Loose drag?
xNenzx set drag strong enough to set the hook but not enough to break or stretch the line. 👍adjust from there
Wassup BODS, could you guys possibly make a video on how to put line on the reel? Loving the vids my braddahs
Sure can! We were thinking of doing one with braid and one with normal line, shall do! Thanks for the suggestion.
