Kite flying

My boy has been on me about flying a kite lately so after getting two stuck in trees we had a idea! If you got kids this is a hit we tied the kite to a fishing pole and went out in the boat and idled along with the kite behind the boat it was cool!Attachment 121520

outstanding.

LOL that's some good thinking. Bet he had a blast

very cool

That really cool

teach your kid to make his own kites out of the tongues and groves on lumber. make the cross and notch the ends of the sticks and put the string round the sticks. then use news paper for the kite and flour and water for the glue and make the tail out of scrap rags. we made our own long ago. when someone was building a house we'd be there to get the tongues and groves they would cut off the boards.

Same thing I was doing with nephews on the HOA lake. Catfish rods, 30# test, man those 6' wide kits were dots in the sky. Getting them down was a chore. Good times, now they are into girls and cars.

We did it with our old zebco 33 classic's back in the day. But never did it in the boat. I bet he had a blast.

lol looks like a good time. :witching

where there is a will there is a way tore the gears up in a am. 5000 prolly 30 years ago good time the ole kite just did not want to come in
