What is Kontiki fishing?

Kontiki fishing is essentially beach longlining, using a small raft or float to pull your hooks out to deeper water. In the past, people would use logs and even balloons – anything that the wind would blow offshore. The problem with these basic setups is that you’re at the mercy of the wind.

How do you bait a long line?

How do you start a Seahorse Kontiki?
