The Wainae grounds, which are exceptionally rich in 

 these varieties of fish, are blessed with probably the calmest 

 water to be found in the islands. It is a beautiful spot from 

 which to fish, with high mountain ranges silhouetted against 

 the bright sky and sugar and pineapple plantations forming a 

 luxuriant background. The best fishing is from Barber's Point 

 to Kaena Point. These fishing grounds are about twenty 

 miles in width and fishing is practiced for an indefinite dis- 

 tance out to sea off the southwest coast of Oahu. There is 

 also good fishing between Barber's Point and Honolulu, and 

 many good catches have been taken in the vicinity of Pearl 

 Harbor. 



Off the Island of Molokai the best spot is probably be- 

 tween Kawakio and Kalaeokailo Point, although there is also 

 good fishing at the western end. Off the big island of Hawaii 

 the best grounds are in the Kona district and these are fished 

 almost every month of the year, with January, February and 

 March being particularly good months. At Kauna the visiting 

 angler can stay at the Kona Inn in the quaint village of 

 Kaleuai which is only a three-minute walk from the fish pier 

 where several good sport-fishing cruisers can be chartered. 

 The Island of Hawaii is easily reached from Honolulu by 

 good airhne service. From the East the fisherman can reach 

 the Hawaiian Islands in eleven hours by plane or via the 

 Matson Line.
