Hawaii Mud Ponds

[Akai-San]

I just went on my son's class field trip to Kaneohe Shrimp farm. I was shocked to see such a setup in Kaneohe/Kualoa area. I know of the Kahuku site, but this one is much much closer to K-town. They have 2-one acre ponds and 4-half acre ponds. there is even a house on the property the overlooks the pond areas....cool! I made some stills out of some video footage of the place , but haven't figured how to pull out from the video camera yet. Standby.

Hey Steve, do you know about this establishment? They actually pump in sea water from the ocean and mix with natural water source on site. "Brackish water" shrimp and prawns. Maybe if this business doesn't do well, we can get interested club members to get together and buy the place. Hahaha....Hey, I'm serious. Come-on Hawaii guys, whos in?

You're too late, grasshopper...It's rumored that the Kodama's of Koi on Line are in town to establish their own ponds in Mililani, on the side of the Island where the choosen ones live...Jumbo Tosai anyone?

Aloha! Mike

Those guys in Hakipu'u-Kualoa are my neighbors Akai. Most of their ponds sit empty. I have been trying to get them to rent pond space to me, but they say there is not enough water coming from the spring to keep them full. A friend is trying to rent pond space for koi in Kahalu'u, back behind Hygenic Store, where they have been raising catfish. There are also some nice ponds by Senator Fong's Gardens that they use for freshwater prawns. Wish I could find a deal like Kiefer has.

Steve:

Have you tried Unitiy House, they got the Hanohano land across from Pat's at Punaluu on foreclosure... The Hanohano's used to raise prawn there...

Aloha! Mike

Man, is THAT ever a long story Mike T. I have a friend who's family lost the land after putting it up as collateral on a really stupid investment - I mean REALLY stupid. I met a guy who is growing flowers and banana up there now and will find out what the deal is with those ponds. Its closer than Haleiwa, but Hakipu'u would be better.

The chosen one? May I ask who that is? Why are they looking into Mililani? Too many people! Why not peaceful Wahiawa area? I would think nicer and more manageable opportunity land there.

Anyone know where the best natural water sources is in Hawaii? I think maybe before purchasing property anywhere, water accessibility will be the key. Hey I hear Kauai has some awesome property with streams and rivers flowing through. And you know that Kauai has one of the "wettest areas" in the world. Water anyone?
