Get yourself some 2" clouser minnows in chartreuse over white and catch everything from omilu to weke.  I had nonstop action in Feb casting from the beach with my 6 wt.

Yep. I picked up more of these yesterday. Thanks for the tips-- keep 'em coming!

Appreciate all the responses. We are really looking forward to the trip. I may actually take you up on the offer.... Or,  better, see if you are around for a fishing trip.

Any of you guys that are visiting BI, feel free to hit me up if you need a boat or gear to borrow. I'm on the Hilo side, about a 2 hr drive from Kona. The water on this side is a lot less predictable than the leeward side of the island, but the fishing can be great if the weather co-operates.
Mellow Yellow, get yourself a couple of yo-zuri or rapala diving plugs and cruise around the inshore reefs at first light for a pretty decent chance of hooking up with some papio and other decent inshore fish.
