Kayak Fishing for Tropical Reef Fish! 395 14

My bro and I caught a pretty cool mixed bag of topical reef fish from our kayak - goatfish, wrasse, grey snapper & cornetfish - so many beautiful creatures of God's creation! Octopus was the bait fished on bottom rigs. We would drag the baits through lanes of sand between the coral or drift it a few feet over the big corral beds.

You’re right - that long fish looked a lot more like a cornetfish/smooth flutemouth (Fistulariidae) than a trumpetfish. Trumpetfish are generally more colourful and have black bands/dots near its tail. Cool fish!

When I went to Maui, I just took my reel from home on my carry on and bought a crappy rod at walmart. I was fishing from the bank of near reefs and catching a lot of the Hawaii state trigger fish and those long almost gar looking fish. Smashing barnacles was an easy way to get bait. Never ventured out on a kayak, I'm gonna have to try that next time!

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like if you agree!!

Those particular goatfish(likely a Moano on the first, definitely on the second) has a size limit of 8" on Maui. And that first one was almost perfect size for Ulua bait.(Or Uku for that matter) I have had many a goatfish just that size stripped right off my hook by roving Uluas.

Grey Snapper are soooo good. My favorite fish to eat from there.

C.R. Fraser - 6 years ago

That was a cornet fish not a trumpet fish by the way, trumpetfish tend to be yellow

C.R. Fraser - 6 years ago

Awesome video man, and I live on Oahu and would recommend trolling large yozuri jerkbaits for big papio. And by the way the legal size for goatfish is 8 inches and they taste amazing.
