Anyone try jetskit fishing?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Berts is cleaning out their new 2017 Yamaha VX 3 seaters 1.0 High Output for $8999 with reverse etc and a nice big platform in back ideal for live well. Only hits 60mph on flat water but thats not the point. I'd like 2 also but I figure when my son wants to go we I can pull the Hobie behind me till were out there and then we can take turns out on yak and ski. Just like a mini Mother Ship!!!

There was actually a vender selling jetski for fishing at the Fred Hall Show.

I got their add, if I find it I will post it.

Saw some vids on Youtube of a guy fishing off his jetski. He was slaying.

My buddy has a couple that he has converted over the years for fishing only.
Its pretty damn fun!

We've gone out to La Jolla and done well and then the last couple years we have gone offshore as he's added jerry cans, upgraded his batteries and bait tanks. We've gone about 30+ out and then trolled. Got some dodos late last season. Pretty fun and a challenge landing dorado on a jet ski!

We did a scooting trip a week ago, out to the 182. Found a couple patties, bait and marked fish, but could not get anything to come up.

If it were myself, I'd probably buy a boat.
