Have You Ever Been Kite Fishing?






When you think of fishing, the first thing that comes to mind is you and maybe a few buddies or the kids out on the boat casting a line over the side waiting for the fish to bite. In this article we will discuss another option when it comes to catching fish, one that is a little more unique, a fishing kite.


What is a fishing kite? That is a great question. Fishing kites holds baits while slashing on the water's surface to attract the fish. It also keeps hooks and hardware above the water and out of sight of the fish below. Fishing kites keep the position of baits far apart to allow you to fish more water at once. These advantages with kite fishing will help you to catch more fish in any type of water from shallow and grassy water to clear and deep water. Now how do you use it?



Kite fishing works pretty much the same way that traditional fishing would. You bait the hooks and cast. The difference comes by allowing you fish anywhere including shallow water and weeded areas. Once you anchor your kite, the baits hang far from the boat which allows you to continue to fish with your rod and reel as well.


It doesn't matter where you fish or what you fish, but the fish will take swipes at kite baits before eating bait on a traditional rod. Grab a fishing kite and let try something new for our next fishing trip. Send us pictures of you and your fishing kite.
