- It is Barracuda Galore at Ala Moana Park! I have stumbled upon Ala Moana Park while i was in Oahu and decided to do some casts before I head to the Ala Moana Beach for some salt water fishing. I have noticed two ponds, connected via a small canal and it leads into two harbors. As i scouted the place out, I have found ton of barracudas! They are like... pickerels of the saltwater world but 100 times faster!
If you guys ever go on vacation in Hawaii, Oahu, take rod with you on your trip. Ton of action at this park. Your wife, parents, family can be across the street at the ala moana center, the biggest mall on the island eating, shopping or w.e while you are fishing!

I have that exact lure. Works awesome in small bodies with clear water.
it's a fantastic color! I think i need to get back into jerkbait fishing! especially on BFS
I fished the same canal. A lot of barracuda. I also caught a lot of umpios, they’re a small travely
Cool, i am not sure which fish those are. But sounds fun!
Wow!! This is nuts. I'm a local and used to play at the tennis courts by the canal all the time. Occasionally I went by the canals to see the fish and all I ever saw was tilapia. The pond too. I had no clue there were barracuda in there. I'm not a big fisherman but I gotta try that canal and pond one day. I saw your Ala Wai video too and had no idea of the barracuda.
Nice! I miss Hawaii. Please have fun but be careful of the dirty water at that canal!
I fished there four years ago and caught barracuda. Is there still barracuda in that lake?
I haven't been there since making this video. So not sure lol
Nice vid dude!
I fish a similar setup up here in Toronto Canada for Northern Pike, but I've been wanting to come down to warmer climates and try my xrap collection on some Barracuda.
thx man. I need to get me some northern pikes. i have some in my state but it's up north. probably go up.. hopefully soon? O_o thx for watching!
Nice!!! If I was homeless, I'd be fishing there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Lol I dunno about that. Got some sewer smell haha
I think you'd stop after you ate the first one.
@@Ffollies they would get sick lol
I just moved from texas and have been looking for a spot. This looks like the one. Great video. Hope to see you out there.
Thx man, too bad i dont live in oahu. I was there only on vacation lol. I have fished other locations and have footage that i can edit but havent had the time to. So much fishing to be done in hawaii
Enjoy your time there and all the poke bowls lol. Thx for watching
drew waterman no don’t fish there the water is contaminated
good video man thanks for sharing!!!
thanks for watching :)
That was some awesome, nonstop action!!
thanks man, i got like 7 more fishes that i didn't put in. i broke my gopro mount so the camera kept falling down. thus the camera was pointing down a bit :(
That looked fun. It would have been a expensive day if you lost 2 lures. Good thing you got them back.
I gotta subscribe
thx man it was fun, but yeah, the trip itself to hawaii was already expensive. Wasn't ready to lose some lures over some small fish LOL
Thats crazy just like chain pickerel in a freshwater pond except they are saltwater cudas in a freshwater pond
lol yeah kinda, but they are super fast and super jumpy. I can't wait to hook a giant one when i try for them in the ocean!
I'll be there in June , I will definitely hit this spot with the ultralight tackle
+Tony Mckoy awesome man. Let me know how u do. And thank you for watching
They are also salt water and found in brackish here in Oahu
+Jesse Ignacio I miss Hawaii lol . Poke bowl is the best
I was born and raised on Oahu and grew up fishing those ponds. It's changed a lot though with a lot of homeless, construction, and trash every where. Definitely do not eat anything out of that water and I would recommend to basically bring a soap and water bucket with you to wash your hands.
thanks for sharing! I am there for traveling so i put all fishes back anyway :P. fishing for fun but yes! i see ton of trash and homeless folks. sucks to see that
Yeah, ive seen some big barracuda in there. Ill be going again this winter. Have you tried any other baits/lures? I used to just catch talapia with a bread and bobber set up.
i bet, i have seen some crazy ones swimming but they dont' want anything. I have tried some basic jig and grubtails, didn't get any. My best luck so far been the jerkbait. but the stickbait did okay too. Hadden Zara Spook. had some blow ups but no hookset.
That's awesome a little salt water pond. Do those little guys fight pretty hard?
oh yes they do :)
funny thing was i was thinking how hasn't he got cut off yet then it happened lol but at least you got it back i wasn't as lucky with blue fish
lol blue fish got some big mouth and chompers. u can sure lose a ton w/ them around
Yeah had them bite one in half after going threw so many on a cheap 3 dollar bass pro too water bass lure
Hi man, great video. Quick question, is this a saltwater canal? Or is it brackish or what?
it's mainly salt. it connects two shipping docks and any freshwater dumped in are from the streets. there were a few drain pipes towards the city... with that said, don't eat anything there :P ton of tilapias tho
Oh okay thanks bro. And nay haha trust me I won't be eating anything from there any time soon, I'm all the way in South Africa. We also have a similar sort of canal here but it's constantly filtered and pumped sea water and not connected to the ocean in any way, there's some monster barracudas and a few hammerheads in it.
oh that's cool man! if hammer sharks get in there, then u probably got some big fish in there lol.. enjoy the fishery!
There was body’s found in that water
oooooz, spooky! was this recently?
Is this just on the other side Ala Moana mall??
+guitarguy1995 yes lol... I drop the wifey off... then cross the street to fish ;)
Im at UH right now Im done with finals on the 8th and ill be here till the 11th with nothing to do lol I have that exact same lure. I guess I know what ill be doing that week!
that's awesome! i am so jealous haha. please enjoy the weather, the poke and the fishing.
Ive been going here for three years and I love it. Best decision ever haha
Maybe I'll see you out there one day!
What time do you go? I went a couple times and got one or two but saw a lot on the shore pretty inactive
I believe I went morning.
8:06 “actually”... I thought you was going take the tilapia home haole man😂
Lol that fish would have flown thousands of miles if that was the case !
great video! ill be going to oahu tomorrow :D bringing my fishing gear
awesome, enjoy the city, the food and fishing! :)
how do you tie your knot and what is that lure called
hey man! i just use a plain Uni-knot. i use 20 lb leader material (fluoro prefered but mono will work). this is a Rapala X-RAP Jerkbait size 08. Thx for watching
can u make a video to tie a uni-knot
i am not sure if i would do knot tying videos. maybe i can use rope so it is at least viewable. but in the mean time, you can look that up on google or youtube. I would also recommend you look up palomar knot and improved clinch knot as well. these will help you get started in your fishing adventures :)
Its just a lure on a line? No leader or anything?
nah i got 20lb FL leader on. and they still cut it! 15lb test braid. no steel leader or sorts if that was what you were really asking for. didn't have any with me at that time. thx for watching!
Great video. Do you need a fishing license to fish there
Thx man. No since it is salt water. Have fun there ^_^
@@rawrfishing okay cool thanks. Did you find any other good spots while you were out there? I'll be going out there soon.
@@gets-it-in3658 no prob man. I did catch a few at the main huge reservoir called wahiawa. Peacock bass ^_^
What length is a legal keeper barracuda? You are the Cuda Whisper!!!
beats me, i wouldn't keep anything from there haha
LMFAO!!!, didn't look like I would either lol.
What kind of tackle bag is that?
Thanks!
np! ty for watching
Good stuff! I never thought to fish in those little ponds at Ala Moana. It's usually just Tilapia.
i had no idea either. i was on travel and decided to see what was in there. when i saw something blowing up and i was like.. predator fish!!!!! after several casts i found out what it was xD
Did you ever catch anything fishing in the ocean
raWr Fishing Hawaii of the beach. Whenever I go to Hawaii I fish off the beach and catch omilu, goatfish, ulua, papio, bonefish and a lot of reef fish
+Payton Stewart cool man. I wanna try that one day. What would be the suggested tackle?
raWr Fishing if you go to Oahu drive up to the north shore near turtle bay resort and try gold castmasters, squid under a bobber, and grubs behind a bubble float. With the squid you will catch a lot of reef species but with the castmaster and grubs you have a good chance of catching something big
saltwater pickerel fishing lol
yes sir! but if they get any bigger.. it's saltwater pike/muskie lol
Is there a size limit or bag limit in Oahu for barracuda
sorry I am not sure. since I was a tourist, I was practicing 100% catch and release. I am certain you can find the answer on the Hawaii's fish and game website.
went there today and caught nothing unfortunately
Might be seasonal... think I was there in Sept
Bend down the barbs on your hooks, makes releasing the fish, or your shirt, or your finger, or your ear... much easier. LOL. After posting this video I bet two things will happen. There will be standing room only for about 2 weeks... so many fisherman you won't find an open space to stand. Then in about 3 weeks, no one... because they caught and kept all the fish. :)
+Stan Wright oh wow, is this the famous stan Wright the blogger from Hawaii? I didn't realize there r that much ppl who keep fish in Hawaii. The canal is littered with trash from the homeless and the pipes from the city seems to dump into it. I probably would crush barbs for toothy critters like these but I wanted my trip to be successful lol. Paid a lot to travel to Hawaii!
Your right... people throw trash in the streets and the first rain flushes it right into the canals, streams, lake, and ocean. It is not the tourist or the military who litter... it's the "locals". All this talk about caring for the aina. Ha. so much litter on all the streets. Very Sad.
Please make sure you don’t eat anything or touch your mouth or anyone before washing your hands. This water is known to have very disgusting things inside and leptospirosis. People have known to get very sick(Almost Death) from the water going into their mouth. I used to fish in there and it’s fun but just be sure not to touch anything after you touch the water.👌
Thx for the warning. I heard a lot about that lol
Isn't that Ala Wai Canal you're talking about? Or is this canal also polluted. I found a lot of stuff about Ala Wai being polluted but can't find anything on this.
I was just in Hawaii over Christmas. What islands are you going to. Recommend Maui for snorkeling/ fishing
I went to Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai.. and i do recommend that Maui south side for snorkeling. got some amazing turtle footage :) And I went in December as well :P
raWr Fishing I did the same I used my go pro and saw 4 or 5 turtles in Maui
Doo doo water
+JustDuhNutzHangingOut welcome to hawaii.. even the beaches have poop in them. Check out how some Hawaii homes r handling their sewage ;)
first
Please wash your hands
of course! it's a sewage runoff area. I highly recommend anyone who play outdoors to always wash their hands after they are done!
