Kite Fishing

Going out Friday to try kite fishing for BlueFin Tuna..One..should I have a harpoon, I have 2 gaffs and don't know if it is necessary. Also do you use any chaffing tubing near the hook. Any do's or don't would be greatly appreciated

Me Too

I'm going to go both Sat and Sun (probably just stay out there overnight) off of Peaked Hill on the back side of Race Point/P-Town.

130's, Kites. Live Bluefish. I've done it on other boats but not on mine. This will be a first

Do you chunk butterfish or just let the blues flop around? I heard that all the action is happening at slack tide and that's it.

Any info would be appreciated. Where is a good place to buy a good kite?

You can pick up a nice kite at Green Harbor B&T, ask for Bob Prunk. He has the traditional kites as well as the new parafoil style.
