• Where to Fish on Moli'i Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records collected within a few miles name blackchin tilapia, flathead grey mullet and doublespotted queenfish. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. At Moli'i Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 69°F to 75°F. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Time your trip to Moli'i Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Kahalu'u Pond, 3.5 miles out. Where Moli'i Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
