Outing Highlights
Kite Fishing and Live‑Bait Drift
The trip centers on deploying live baits from multiple points around the vessel—kites off the stern with clips, drifted live bait to one side, and dedicated lines off the bow—creating a ring of natural presentation that targets pelagic species.
Paratech Sea Anchor and Multi‑Line Spread
An 18‑ft Paratech sea anchor is used at the bow to hold depth and absorb wave action while two kites with three baits each are run from the stern and a deep rod and flatline fish off the bow.
Pelagics on the Menu
This approach is effective on sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, tuna, wahoo and cobia, among other offshore species.
