Cast & Catch, 808-332-9707, has freshwater bass fishing guides that will take you to reservoirs around the island on their 18-foot bass boat. They’ll also help you get your freshwater fishing license. Waita Reservoir is a good spot for largemouth bass, peacock bass and smallmouth bass.

Make sure that you have all of the proper licenses if you plan to do any freshwater fishing. Before your trip, you can go online to obtain a freshwater fishing license at www.ehawaii.gov/dlnr/fish/exe/fresh_main_page.cgi. You fill out the information, print, sign and you’re all set.
