Kite Fishing 101 with Tigress Outriggers and Gear
Kite fishing is gaining popularity in the offshore fishing community as anglers note the productive results behind a very exhilarating fishing strategy. Tigress has designed many options to give anglers all the gear they need to succeed when trying this method.
The kite keeps live baits on the water’s surface, creating a realistic presentation for surface-feeding fish. As anglers deploy the kites, a large surface area across the ocean gets coverage as the bait fish entices the target predator to come up for a quick bite. This technique is most known for catching sailfish. However, kite fishing will attract other species, such as dolphins, mahi-mahi, wahoo, king mackerels, and tuna.
Offshore fishing often comes with a wide variety of winds and sea conditions. Like the traditional kite, the wind will play a role in the kite’s ability to fly. One of the fantastic features of the kites offered by Tigress is no matter the wind circumstances, multiple kite selections are available and fine-tuned for each type of wind, whether light or strong. The options available are the Specialty Lite Wind Kite, the All Purpose Kite, and the Hi-Velocity Kite.
Constructed to fly at wind speeds from 5-15 plus MPH, each design has a sturdy and dependable structure. Simple adjustments on the Lite Wind Kite allow reliable flight in 5-10 MPH winds, while the All Purpose Kite is best in 10-15 MPH winds. The Hi-Velocity Kite, completed with four holes in the custom fabric, allows the kite to fly in higher-velocity wind days. Helium balloons play a vital role on almost windless days by keeping the kite airborne and flying correctly.

Rod holders are vital during kite fishing as rods fishing baits on the same kite should be clustered together. Tigress offers adapters to expand the rod real estate of existing rod holders, allowing anglers to fish and manage multiple rods side by side. The most common amount of lines fished on one kite is three. However, each kite can fish up to six lines. A braided line connects the kites to the boat, and kite line assemblies and braid are available at Tigress in 100, 80, and 50-pound tests and include clips and swivels. Comprehensive rigging kits are also available that include various accessories to complete a kite fishing tool kit.
