Trolling will be permitted Saturday, Sunday, Feb. 20-21

Advertiser Staff

The Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission has announced that trolling will be allowed for boats with permits Saturday and Sunday and again on Feb. 20 and 21, the Maui News reported.

Hawaii Administrative Rules require that vessels must register annually with the commission before entering the reserve's waters during designated trolling dates. Registered vessels also are required to file catch reports with KIRC when they fish in the reserve, whether or not they catch fish.

A $25 permit fee will be applied to the required registration process.

To register with the commission or for more information, reach Dean Tokishi at 243-5889 or send e-mail to dtokishi@kirc.hawaii.gov or go to www.kahoolawe.hawaii.gov to download a registration packet.

Packets also are available at the state Division of Boating and Recreation at 210 Imi Kala St., Suite 205, and at Maui Sporting Goods, both in Wailuku.
