The Best Fishing Jet Ski Ever Made? I picked this headline to spark some conversation -and maybe emotions - in the jet ski fishing community. If you're reading this, seems it worked? :)
When I commissioned the fit out of this Yamaha FX HO Waverunner early in 2019, I had some clear goals in mind, both for the ski and for some serious offshore fishing. Budget is always the limiting factor, and although I wanted it to be perfect, I had to consider some compromises due to funds.
I think it's come pretty close to the ultimate -but not perfect! The imperfections are a topic for another video. But this video will set the scene for some discussion I am sure around what the community would like to see in the ultimate ski designed for fishing. I have some good ideas for what would make the ultimate fishing ski. Maybe I'll get the chance in the coming years to see that dream come true! Love to hear your ideas too.
The Fishpro was a watercraft manufacturer's first attempt at focussing on the fishing market. The product is good, it is priced well for the target market, and suits a wide range of users from beginner to intermediate. I'd love to try one myself but I must admit once you've had Tubbies, it's pretty hard to go back! It's a long story why I didn't start with Seadoo. It's ironic, especially since there are so many of them sold and resold in my region of Australia. But I think I have still have the superior package for what I wanted- serious offshore fishing. I'd be happy to have Seadoo approach me to change my mind!
So with that in mind, please don't slam me with negative 'Seadoo vs Yamaha" comments. The brand doesn't really matter. I do not need to race my buddies, I do not need to pull a water skier,. I do 200 plus hours on the engine per year. So I just want a very reliable, functional, efficient, and comfortable fishing platform. I need space for the rods and kit I like to carry. The fish are not consistent around here and I need options if the plans aren't working out.
Feel free to add some comments to the discussion of what the ultimate fishing ski might mean to you. I hope the Yamaha, Seadoo, and Kawasaki product managers are listening too so that they continue to improve their watercraft into better solutions.
Right, that being said, if you are interested in creating our own Fishing Jetski, here are the details of what I use and where I purchased:

The special Jetfisher Reel Covers, designed especially for jet ski fishos, are available now from www.jetfisher.com

These reel covers are designed to completely cover your reels and minimise the damage caused by the extreme water pressure that reels can come under when you are traveling at speed on your jetski. I use to throw reels out every 6 months or so until I started using these. Do yourself and your reels a favour and get some. International postage is also now available.
