March Madness - Maui style

A quick but fantastic trip to Maui in March was just what the doctor ordered. Fishing, sunshine, night time walks along the beach - it really is the simpler things in life that count. 

Right off the bat is my favorite pic of the trip. Years of fishing back and forth past Makena and I finally caught her in the right light - or absence of it perhaps. The sunrise beaming over the 10,000 foot volcano - Haleakala, made for the best catch of the day.



They should call them "Stealth-backs" 







Midnight palm. 










Now this is what I call pebble beach.





Heading to deep waters aboard the Privateer with Maui and Molokini on the horizon  and getting smaller/smaller/smaller.

That's right grandma - it jumped clean over the boat, twice... Folks love to check out who's catching what at Kihei boat ramp. Today - the boys aboard the Privateer were the main attraction!

Looking over at W. Maui

Molokini's backside - looking good too...

The surly but wise Captain Jimbo plots the day's course before sunrise hits the volcano.

Was a great day to be fishing! Triple hook up on Hawaiian Ono meant we were bbq'ing fresh fish tonight! Ono means - tasty. Go ahead - touch the fin!

Watching boats at the Kihei Launch is always fun!
