WHAT IS HOLOHOLO KAYAK FISHING ALL ABOUT? HAVING FUN!

For those in the kayak fishing community who live outside of Hawaii the word ‘holoholo’ may be new.  When someone is going holoholo, he or she is soulfully venturing out to have fun and to clear their mind. It’s meaning is kind of like the saying ‘a journey without a destination.’  In the islands you may hear someone say, “I had a crazy week at work, I’m going holoholo this weekend.”  The literally meaning is to aimlessly go out for pleasure, doing something that brings you joy, having no destination, only doing something for the fun of it.  The word has a strong link to fishing in Hawaii in the belief one should ‘Never announce you’re going fishing.’  because the fish can hear you. Holoholo became a code word for fishing.

MAGICAL MAUI . . . WAVES, WHALES & RAINBOWS

“Sometimes the fish are small, sometimes the fish are big, sometimes there are no fish at all, none of that matters; it is all the simple things going on between the blue sky and blue water that make kayak fishing so enjoyable.  The beautiful puffy white clouds, dolphins or whales swimming by, the sound of water slapping my kayak, the salt air, birds flying overhead, waves crashing in the distance, being suddenly surprised by a surfacing humpback and the sound of water shooting from its blowhole and the amazing sight of rainbows and sunsets.  It is often the sights and sounds that surround me when I’m on the water that matter most, its the small things that create some of the biggest moments….BUT don’t get me wrong, I’M REALLY OUT THERE TO HOOK A HUGE FIGHTING FISH!”

My Life, Loves and Adventures Outside of Fishing…Travel, Family and Exploring Remote Places! 

When traveling we intentionally try not to get super detailed with our trip planning.  Over time we have naturally adopted the holoholo concept in our everyday lives.  We do our best to go with the flow and be happy or amused with whatever happens.  We have discovered practicing this peaceful-play belief works best for us.  Many of our most memorable moments have been unexpected experiences that we could have never planned.    

LIVE SMART, BE SAFE & HAVE FUN!
