kite fishing

kite fishing
1) using a kite to get a rig out beyond the reach of smaller, undesired fish; a mechanism releases the rig into the water and the kite is retrieved
2) a flat and square kite with a live bait attached and fished on the surface without any line being visible. Used for sailfish. Also baited hooks and spider-web baits are used and skipped along the surface to entice a fish such as bonito to snap at them
