Whipping at He'eia Fishpond
This week we went whipping at He'eia fishpond. We are trying to catch predators like barracuda and jack trevally. Hi'ilei had the whipping poles and taught us how to use them, we went out on the kuapa to the break in the wall and used cast master lures. Kaua was the first to land a barracuda then Andrew caught another one, but Kaua was the one that caught the rest all together they caught seven barracuda. The rest of us used bamboo pole and caught toau. After fishing we all cleaned the fish together using opihi shells to scale them. Then we took out the guts and bagged the fish. Tai and Lisa took home the toau, Andrew and Kaua took home their barracuda.
