Anyone fish from a jet ski ??
« on: April 01, 2011, 09:11:37 PM »
Has anyone ever tried fish'n off of a jet ski ?  I've wundered if it would work or not, but aint never been on one to see how stable it is while not move'n.

 My cousin has a couple for sale, think'n maybe this summer try one out to see what I think about it, if its stable it could make a sure nuff hydo ATV, talk about get'n to wher the fish are.

That is asking to get wet. They are not stable to stand on and will flip you off in heart beat.

If you need a water craft to get to skinny water, get a flat or modified bottom jon with a jet. Or you can get kayak if you don't mind paddling.

I think the main drawback is that if I were fishing the Caney and someone went by me on a jet ski, I might have to shoot that person.  Give me one fisherman on my jury and you'll never convict me.  :)

I'm with BD. I'd either fire the second shot or finagle my way onto the jury. :P
