Kite Fishing for Tarpon, Sharks and Jacks during the Florida Mullet Run

I have always wanted to use the kite fishing method to target predatory fish like tarpon, sharks and jack crevalles during the Florida mullet run. This technique is typically used offshore to target sailfish and other pelagic species. Fishing with the kites proved to be very effective during the mullet run. We had bites from tarpon, sharks and big jack crevalles. Unfortunately, the conditions were beyond terrible and this made fishing very tough.

[@BlacktipH]

+Corrupted Fishing 80lb mono with 100lb braid backing.

[@grayjakuc6916]

Thx BlacktipH for replying

[@pbfishing5153]

Man those swells were sketchy as hell, glad nothing bad happened.

[@tmart9564]

Hey Josh, I just recently bought a place in Florida as a getaway spot. I live in Michigan and fish a lot of Muskie, Northern Pike and Sturgeon. I'm planning on buying some saltwater fishing gear as I do not own any yet. I'm primarily interested in fishing for Barracuda while I'm down there. After watching your videos they seem like a lot of fun to fish for. I've read a lot of different opinions on what I should get. I was wondering what you think a good setup is. I prefer spin-cast to bait casting. Is there a brand you prefer over others or a specific braided line. Also what rod size should I be looking at. I'm just wondering what all I will need to fish these bad boys. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@DariusFishing]

For the price a shimano Saragossa is one of the best you’ll get, the 10000 will be more than enough for barracudas

[@DariusFishing]

If you wanna pay the price get a Stella

[@sidekickerbrohoof9584]

Was this filmed before or after Irma, cuase the water looks pretty dirty.

[@BlacktipH]

+Sidekicker Brohoof This was filmed after Irma.

[@sidekickerbrohoof9584]

Thanks for the reply! It was just odd to me at first i'm not used to seeing Florida with such murky water. The water looks like the coast of Texas.

[@ardaylgn1290]

Good

[@lakeshorefishing6864]

i might be coming down to Florida for the mullet run beach fishing around the 15 of October where in Florida should i go ???

[@BlacktipH]

Anywhere between Sebastian and Miami will be good.

[@lakeshorefishing6864]

Thank you so much, Josh

[@eddiewatkinsgolf795]

Josh every time they hooked up is it a tarpon is it a tarpon, oh it is massive jack bro it’s a tarpon bro😹😹

[@chrispuckett5389]

is that you guys first trip out ?

[@rotantagaekbuscemi8861]

We passed you in the inter coastal

[@scsharkhunter407]

haven't been this early since landshark was sharking with pink mono on a 14/0

[@hurricanewarning11]

"Look at him DUDE!" *Camera man stays still*

[@ibusch90]

Would 40lb mono be fine with the size of that first shark?

[@BlacktipH]

No, I would recommend at least 80lb shock leader with a wire leader.

[@wazup3333]

How can a swell like that capsize the boat if its facing the wave? and not breaking

[@keylay9453]

Well, if the swell moves the boat ashore, then the boat will capsize. They were worried about the swell while they were as shallow as they were.

[@keylay9453]

wazup3333 not so much the wave coming over the bow

[@torressoncarl]

No

[@keylay9453]

carl torresson yes?

[@thegreatnolieto9918]

Do a challenge with your shark rod in a creek

[@nickcicero3329]

Hey how r u love your vids

[@dcgo44r]

He never saw a Tarpon "circling a bait"; and I've never seen a bait in just one piece after a cuda's take! You figure...!

[@kurumi7104]

Imagine IF u Fell into the WATER! -IMAGINE-

[@coltybearsclub701]

West palm beach

[@MrSwampdonkey001]

Is there a reason why you never use a rod bucket ? i see in all your videos you never have a rod bucket. We use Gimbal rod buckets and they make life so much easier when the fish are on.

[@BlacktipH]

I feel like they get in the way for smaller fish. In stand-up gear during long fights, they are a must.

[@olivermartel7172]

Putting the Stella's to work again

[@timly385]

Can someone tell me how kite fishing works

[@BlacktipH]

The kite keeps the bait on the surface.

[@brockgraham8576]

Hey

[@coreyanderson381]

What are thies kites for

[@jordyb2193]

Corey Anderson keeping goggle eyes from swimming back to the boat

[@advancedcuppp9263]

These

[@buckhunteroutdoors8580]

Got ya

[@coltybearsclub701]

The best part is when they fly kites in barracuda alley

[@kapliger]

Why don't you guys keep jacks? Doesn't it taste good?

[@tomwalker5425]

You might as well have kept it, it's gonna get ate by a shark any way
