Using This Ancient Delicacy to Catch Fish!
Most locals LOVE that aroma of freshly picked Opihi! Just looking at it & smelling that salty scent makes you salivate. So why would you share this expensive hard to procure treat with a fish that you plan on releasing anyway? Hmmm, good point.
Using Limpets is a bait i'm sure the Hawaiians once used. Back then everything was plentiful because their Kapu system of enforcing & regulating their resources was much akin to the American Indians. They were all connected to the land. Nowadays when a local hears the word Opihi, they start salivating because it's a mouth watering delicious treat that most would covet & not share it with others, including fish.
Turned out i was rained out this day. Still it was good sharing my "process" of shore casting.
