I know that most people on here, will probably turn their nose, but I am a single guy living in a townhouse and dont have any room to store a boat, so all I have is a waverunner, and Im looking for any advise or tips for fishing from my waverunner, I have a 2006 yamaha fx high output 3 seater, and I plan on just trolling for kings and possibly going out five or six miles and hitting some bottoms. I know this has been discussed before, but hopefully there are a few of you that are currently fishing from your ski, and can give me a tip or two on rigging my ski so when I get back from the desert I can get out there..

Thanks Guys

I'm not going to turn my nose up b/c I've thought ofthe same thing. There is a guy around Destin who has a small rod rack attached tothe rear ofhis jetski seat. I saw him coming thru the pass one day & thought "hmmmmmmmmmmm, so it is possible":clap Maybe he is on the forum here & can clue us in - i'm curious

YOU MAY WANT TO READ THE THREAD ON THE SHARK ATTACKING A WAVE RUNNER LAST YEAR. GOOD LUCK TO YOU BUT YOU MAY LOOK LIKE A MEAL TO SOME OF THOSE BIG BOYS OUT THERE.

I'm not sure where Isaw the article, but I read about a guy that regularly fishes from his Waverunner in Hawaii and catches all kind of good size fish.The main part of the article was about him catching avery bigblue marlin. I know that you can buy rod holders to mount up.Let us know how it works out.

Yeah Ive heard of alot of people doing it, I guess it is really popular in hawaii and south florida, hopefully the sharks wont be too bad, my plan is right now to fend those guys off by just turning the ski on everytime I hook up, so that Im always moving.. Id love to find a few guys that are willing to try it and one weekend all head out and give it a shot. I plan on attaching two rod holders to a cooler and straping it down on the aft deck..

Well I would hope that his drag isn't tight enough to pull him off the WR. I've often pondered the idea myself....and I saw a video of a guy catching billfish out of his.

good luck, be safe, and post some pics!

What you going to use for a depth finder?

Randall that is a device used to find out how deep of water you are in...

Well fellas, if getting pulled in by a 50 pound king is the worst I have to worry about, well it sounds like it will be a blast. Ill be sure to post some pics once I have everything hooked up..
