fisherrw Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 anyone ever done it?? I've been successful. It uses a lot less gas than a big boat. 1 Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 I've seen guys go offshore in the ocean on them, rigged up electronics and rod holders. I've seen on TV snowmobilers set them up similarly. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 27, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 27, 2015 I've heard of guys using them to chase schooling white bass around during the summertime. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 It is definitely ya popular thing in the saltwater crowd. I would wonder how effective it would be chasing bass though since moving around an area it might be a little noisy. Quote
Nelson Wormefeller Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Never tried it but sure sounds like fun being able to scoot from spot to spot. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 Not a great "catching" video but definitely looks like it would be quite an effective setup. Quote
Big C Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I haven't done it, but if I could I would. If you have regular access to a lake/jet ski, do it. It looks like a ton of fun. Quote
Dogmatic Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 My brother-in-law lives in NC, and has a set up like the guy in Felix77 video. Likes it a lot. He fishes the big lakes they have outside Charlotte. 1 Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Where I am from, bass fisherman and jet-skiers have an issue with one another. Thus, this seems like taboo to me. 4 Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 The first time you have to jump off to clean the impeller of grass/weeds you're gonna wish ya had a boat instead of a ski.. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted July 28, 2015 Super User Posted July 28, 2015 The first time you have to jump off to clean the impeller of grass/weeds you're gonna wish ya had a boat instead of a ski.. that's what intake rakes are for, at least for the jet boat crowds not sure if ti would still work for jet skis but i don't see why not Quote
junyer357 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Ive done it but its a pain really. I used one at a freinds place on the lake since i didnt have my bass boat and the ski boat isnt an option. We rode over to some areas i caught fish before and it was ok once we got set up, just an adjustment for me to fish sitting down. The pain is trying to ride down the lake with the fishing poles, some tackle, an anchor, and keep it all on the ski with out losing it or hooking ourselves. Quote

zachb34 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I've done it in the salt water about a mile off shore just drifting over reefs. It seems pretty challenging for bass especially since I'm always on the trolling motor. I rarely ever anchor at a spot or find wind/current that keeps me wgere I want to be. Its still got to be a fun challenge. Quote
Bass newb Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Kayak and stand up paddle boards use no gas at all. Quote
Big C Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Kayak and stand up paddle boards use no gas at all. No gas, just elbow grease. Quote
