Kite Fishing Charters, Gloucester MA
What makes bluefin tuna fishing even more exciting? … KITE FISHING!
In the past few years, half of our hook-ups are from the kite. This works, and it’s awesome fun. Kite fishing allows the captain to dangle a bait right at the surface – this teases the bluefin into rocketing to the surface to snag its prey. The kite holds the line up and away from the boat – somewhat like a “flying” outrigger.
The HIT is INCREDIBLE. The hit – as a bluefin clears the surface to grab the bait suspended from the kite – is awesome. The reel screams .. all hands man their stations to clear lines for the first angler.
