There are HUGE Bonefish living off the island of O’ahu, Hawaii. Louie the Fish lives on the island and guides flyfishing for Bonefish on the extensive Flats. It’s an explosive, action-packed fight when you hook into one of these fish…

You can contact Louie through his web sight. Search Louie the Fish or Louie Denolfo on Google. You’ll find it.

YouTube won’t let you post links or websites but, if you search Louiethefish (all one word) his website should pop up.
He’s an awesome guide and awesome guy and I highly reccommend him if you go to Hawaii. He will teach you everything he can– after one day, you should be able to catch Bonefish on your own with the proper gear…
Good luck!!

What a great place. Wife and I honeymooned in hawaii from australia two years ago. Get the impression Louie was using a crab fly but do the usual christmas island patterns work too??
I was supposed to be going to christmas island this year but the runway is cracked and not open to commercial airlines. Hoping to get back to Hawaii real soon!!!

I feel sorry for you and your ignorance.
The largest city in Hawaii is its capital, Honolulu, located on O’ahu. (pop. 371,657) Hilo comes in second with only 40,759 people. The largest county, also Honolulu, has 905,266 people, while in second place, Hawaii has only 4,028. O’ahu is the most urbanized and has 90% of Hawaii’s TOTAL population…
ps. you misspelled both “developed” AND Kaua’i!!

Hi.
Sounds like you have the flyfishing bug as bad, or worse, than us!! Yup, they are Bones, and they get very big there. (in excess of 10 lbs!)
As far as technique, you can very effectively sight fish, given the right conditions. It is Louie’s favorite way to catch them. You can also blind cast if there is too much wind or the water’s too deep. Louie admits it is often more productive but sight fishing more exciting…
Thanks for watching and good luck!!

Fantastic video! I …
Fantastic video! I was in HI years ago and I wondered if the fish I saw were bones and I guess they were.
Question, are you blind casting and retreiving or sight fishing?
Can’t wait to be back and book a charter.

The rod is a Temple Fork Outfitters rod, I think in about a 9 weight or so. Not sure what the reel is– it’s a large-arbor reel, so you can recover line faster, which is a must with Bonefish or other strong fish. Make sure to buy a reel that has a very good drag system!!!

im 12 and love fly fishing but i was hoping for a new set up for christmas! what kind of rod reel was that, im gina ask my parents for it
Check out our …
Check out our website at Kettlebottom and look for Episode 7, under Full Episodes. There is a lot more ideas and information for your Bonefish adventures. I wish you luck!!

I am a surfing and fly fishing fanatic from florida. I have been to oahu many times. I have looked out at the same place you guys fished in this video and wondered if there were fish out there. I had no clue due to not seeing anyone else out there fishing. I am so glad I found this great video. You guys did a great job. I will be out there in a week and I will be right out there with you guys. Please take this vid off youtube so that your great island does not get exploited too much more.
