I can't go fishing in Hawaii
I'm having a little difficulty following the flow of conversation but could the speaker have been invited to Hawaii to fish with the person trying to get him to write the film? Either to discuss the idea face to face or to encourage him to take the job.

yes, I have the same doubt of Paul. In any case, I thougth to an other possibility: cannot be "hooked" in Hawai,
but is only an idea of course^^

Francesco, I appreciate your help.
[爺さんと言っちゃうとね、ワイハで釣れないから」
"They'll get called 'gramps', won't pull in the audiences in Hawaii"
Can't say I'm too happy with that though.
He said, "Shoot Matrix-type film with a couple of old guys."
I said, "You get to have boobs and I have to deal with old guys?
Then he said, "Want to trade?"
I was amazed at and admired his flexibility.
So I said, "OK, I'll take the old guys then."
[爺さんと言っちゃうとね、ワイハで釣れないから]
so I said, "I'll think of something, I'll manage."
And this is what I came up with.
