This is an auxilary class to the standard live bait fishing class I've been hosting.  This class specifically focuses on how to catch fish while anchored- by both fishing with balloons and in particular- KITE FISHING.  Particular techniques covered will include:  anchoring setup, chumming, balloon fishing, kite fishing, and angling a fish from an anchored boat.

Anchor fishing is a fun and often underutilized form of fishing.  It keeps you busy at all times and it seems like something is always going on to occupy the time between bites. In addition, anchor fishing often produces larger fish and give you the opportunity to kite fish, which is exciting in itself.

COST:
$400 per person (4 MAX)
