Another day in Kauai and another day of me casting at anyting that might, possibly, eat a fly.
The tide was a little bit lower and I think that meant the Christmas Wrasse were not available, but… BUT… if I cast near structure with a larger fly, I might just get a Coral Hawkfish to dash out, smash the fly and try very hard to pull back into it’s crevice or hole. They were surprisingly fun, even if they weren’t huge.
They acted like a mini version of the triggers I so loved in Christmas Island.
So pretty… and look at those spines.
These aren’t O’io, but they are fish and they are beautiful and they take a fly. That checks a lot of boxes.
I do enjoy the Islands.

Cool little fish. I loved seeing your Christmas wrasse.
