New Kite...wOw!!!!

I took out this new fishing kite a friend sent me & all i can say is WOW!!!!

I didn't believe it would fly in such light wind, but look at the kingfish we caught!

The wind was hardly blowing we were anchored in about 60ft off the edge in Islamorada & flying a pilchard on one of my new OHERO Spinning outfits.  The rod is a graphite Gold Series 7'6 med/heavy rod with a 4000 reel  loaded with 30lb barde. I added a trace of 50lb wire & a VMC circle hook.


The second rod was exactly the same set up but in the heavy size rod again with an OHERO 4000 spinner, i have it loaded with a different color barde just so i can tell the difference in rods. As you can see i like an electric kite reel so i can change baits quickly after a bite, on the second rod i used a live shrimp as the bait, the reason i like the kite fishing is the amazing bite!
We had the kings skyrocketing as they ate the baits that were dangling on the surface!
Go fly a kite, its alot of fun, just ask Mr. & Mrs Victor Beck from Tennessee, pictured with her first kingfish caught on a kite bait, it ate the pilchard, & she said it came out of the water 6ft with the bait in its teeth!
