Wassup Guys,
I might have an interesting life choice ahead of me in the next year or so; to stay in Hawaii or move back to New England. And yes this decision is going to be somewhat based on what my girlfriend wants to do with herself
Here in Kona I can wake up before work and fish for GT in the mornings and afternoons. Also we have Bonefish, Threadfin, and a few other species that are fun to target from the shoreline. Add to that, myself and some friends all have boats to jig and pop from for multiple species (giant GT included)
I grew up in New England (northeast US for those who dont know) which has Bluefin Tuna grounds right out of my old backyard. There are also a bunch of other fun saltwater game like Striped Bass, False Albacore, and Bluefish. Along with the good saltwater, there is incredible freshwater fishing for Landlocked Salmon, Trout, and Bass. Also, there is ice fishing, and i LOVE ice fishing especially jigging through the ice!
Both options are actually sitting quite fine with me for the most part, but what would you guys do? Stay in Hawaii and pound on GT, or go where the fishing is more diverse and have access to BFT??? Tough Choice!
