Seems a bit overkill for bluefish or stripers.

True...  I think at the seminar they were referring to shark.  Though they elected not to go into detail..

I think it would be great for livelining a bluefish for sharking. Capt. Johnny B, wants to fool with it on my boat this season.

When the bite is slow we can always fly the bluefish... LOL  >:D

Shark would be good as maybe grey light live bait for tuna.

It may be worth a try.  I'll let Capt Mike give it a go first.   TT^

Ive seen the technique used with much success on TV shows. On low wind days they fasten a small helium filled balloon to the top of the kite for more lift. Also whats nice about this is, if you have hooked a fish on a non-kite line,{outrigger line} to prevent tangles you can pull the kite baits out of the water just by reeling in a small amount of line. The baits and line dangle in the air below the kites.

I've been wanting to do this the last 2 seasons but it's too much money to get into.  bngh

I should try that off the surf especially in a good stiff west ward wind.

I did it in Florida. Pretty cool watching the surface blow ups. Surprisingly, it is not a labor intensive technique.

Always thought about trying it for bass/blues-especialy in the shallower waters of Raritan Bay where even if the fish are deep the vibrations emitted form a struggling bunker would surely draw a fish's attention.

Waaaaay to complicated for me...I'd probably wind up getting myself tangled up in it and have myself dangling over the water instead of the bait!

I def do not see a use for it for bluefish or bass. Shark I could see if you want to mix it up, but that is pretty much it for what we do up here.
