Dear Captain Bob Tang
I appreciate your kind guide. I will return to Japan tomorrow morning. But I will be back with my fishing friends very near future. Before re-visit, I will send E-mail to you.

In late April I had the absolute pleasure to bonefish with Mahalo Bob. This was one of my best days of my life. Had numerous shots at huge bonefish, 10+ lbs at least. Man I forgot how spooky those awesome fish are. Bob was able to spot huge bones that were 50 ft. away-and I'm a flyfishing guide myself and had awesome polarized glasses on and could barely see the ghosts that he was spotting. This guy told me he has poor eyesight. Liar, liar, pants on fire. HE CAN SPOT BONES! The wind wasn't very cooperative in the afternoon but we did catch fish. More than anything, the company of Bob and his brother Roland was the best part of the trip. Fishing is fishing and you can't always slay as many fish as you would like but the bonefish in Hawaii are the biggest I have ever seen and I've fished for bones all over the Caribbean and Florida. Better yet, was having a guide like Bob. He was patient, funny and told me much about his culture and about his days growing up in Hawaii and catching bones as a youth. Great stories and a beautiful flat-what else can you ask for. If you want this and HUGE bone, ask for Coach or Mahalo Bob. I bet my flyrod that you won't be disappointed. You guys have a loyal client here! Until we meet again my brothers, Dave Musser Chillicothe, Ohio PS call me when you are in my area and I'll guide you for some Ohio steelhead-for free.

Hawaii must be the best kept secret in bonefishing circles. As an avid fly fisher, I jumped at the opportunity to hook up with my first bonefish when visiting Oahu last month. I had the pleasure of being guided by Bob Tang, a first class fly guide. He knows his water, and he knows his fish. We easily saw 25+ good sized bonefish that day, and the 8 pounder I landed was a real thrill. Bob's patient and quiet attitude belies the real bonefish hunter underneath. He knows where to find them, and he knows how to catch them. Grab your fly rod, grab your sunblock, and head to Oahu.

Coach and Bob, Thanks for a great day on the water...Stephen and I had an uforgetable day with both of you. My wife, daughter and I are thinking about coming back for spring break. What is the bone fishing like at the end of March, first part of April? May even be interested in a blue water trip if there is a chance to share a boat. Thanks again for a ton of fun, Alan Jackson ps...if you get to Seattle and want to go chase some steelhead this winter, just give me a call...I have a 16ft Clacka

" Fly fishermen literally fly over Hawaii en route to distant fishing grounds promising big game fish. Selfishly I hope they continue because Hawaii fly fishing is a gem"

The Coach and Bobby are two great guys to spend a day chasing bonefish around on the flats of Hawaii, their knowledge and expertise were superb. To my surprise there was plenty of sight fishing opportunities which contradicted everything I had heard about Hawaiian bonefish. The fish were huge. I saw lots of 5 to 10 pound bones with up to 15 pound fish cruising around and even saw one that was all of 20 if not more. I had my butt handed to me a couple times and landed my first couple bonefish. If chasing trophy bonefish on the fly is your idea of a good time I would highly recommend spending some time with the boys. They are true pros and every minute you spend with them will be both a learning experience and loads of fun.

Had a great time. The winds were howling maybe 25-30 mph. But we saw several fish and I managed to catch one small one (2-3 lbs). Lots of big ones out there but casting was tough. Mahalo Bob was great. Very knowledgeable and a good guy. I enjoyed fishing with him. His brother Roland was great too who picked us up and took us back home again. I'm hoping to be out again in September and would like to do a full day at that time. Hoping to try the windward side if conditions are right. Thanks again!

Never in my 20 years of fly fishing have I targeted such a challenging species of fish as Hawaii's Bonefish. These bone's are 'Hogs' in stature and will humble even the most experienced fly fisherman. Coach Duff and his crew are consummate professionals. They have an arsenal of techniques that will teach the novice to experienced fly fisherman to hook-up with these ???Green Giants.??? This crew works hard to ensure their clients get every possible opportunity to catch fish. I found where guides would have called it a day and tried to get off the water for happy-hour, these guys would stay and put you onto fish until 'you' threw in the towel. I could not recommend a better guide service in Hawaii. These guys are world class. I will be fishing with these hard-chargers on my way back from Iraq also! Semper Fi.
