Oh, I see. My mistake, I just assumed you were new to fishing.
I have never tried kite fishing. But I have done quite a bit of ballooning with live bait. Same idea...tie a balloon to the line and let the wind take it out. Here in Australia on the east coast we get westerly winds in the winter. Winter means cold water and the big pelagics like cold water and come in closer, well within ballooning range.
