Japanese term or phrase: ワイハで釣る
2人の映画監督が共同で映画制作に至るまでを舞台上で話しています。一方が「爺 (「じじいー」と言っています)2人でMatrixタイプの映画やってくんない?」と言われたと言い、そのあと、「いいっすよ、じじい2人で、爺さんと言っちゃうとね、ワイハで釣れないから、考えるから(この前に1週間で何か書いてくれないかと相手の監督から言われています。)もういいすっよ、考えるからと言ってそれがたまたま今回につながったという。。」

I can't go fishing in Hawaii
Explanation:
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.
