I’ve “kite fished” before. I tied a kite to my carp rod, which had 17# test low-visibility green monofilament line. It was like fighting a 20-pound lunker, 300 feet above you!
You can sing the words from the ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ theme to the melody of ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ . Words from the ’Gillian’s Island’ theme works too.
Yep. I’m also due one in a week. But I retired in ‘96 at age 61 so, for this one, my combined digits = 17. At least that’s the grade my wife rates my brain. I think she’s just being polite.
I think of April or May, or even the summer months, when it comes to kite flying. March here in Michigan is the month where we might get a week of weather that seems like summer compared to what we just had in February, might get the worst ice storm of the year, and usually get a lot of weather that makes us wonder why April is the month famous for showers. Not in any particular order.

If you can’t be in the month you love… love the month you’re in?

It does have St. Patrick’s Day. But the celebration sometimes leaves something to be desired.

March also has the Ides, but that only mattered to Julius Caesar.

The month of March is about 32 days too long up here in the snow belt of lake Erie.

Thanks to ridiculously early Christmas promoting, November hardly has Thanksgiving, either.

The Spring equinox is a holiday all over the world. To some, it’s New Year’s Day. I don’t call that “not much else.”

All my life I thought April has the reputation for being kite-flying month, not March.
