Snagged Line (4/30/2008)Just a thought to share, The gulf and sandbars are great riding and sounds like some fun fishing. If you go into the gulf I strongly recomnd a VHF radio,anchor and a good flare kit w/ plenty of flares.

I sucked a peice of floating poly rope into my pump once that left me Dead In The Water and drifting.I had to roll her over on it's side on the beach to cut it out I don't think there would have been any way to do it without beaching it. ( made me rethink the trip I made by myself to the #1 sea bouy with no anchor, flares,Gps, radio or anything but my Dumb Ass that thought it would be cool to run out to the end.<U>STUPID MOVE ON MY PART</U>) I would suggest having a "Plan-B" like a buddy on annother waverunner and safety crapbefore you go into the gulf.

Yes, be sure to at least have a radio. I onceran over my own ski rope after it broke while pulling a tuber :doh. It was a real pain. Had to take the grate off the bottom and take a knife (of course I only had a dull one) and cut all that rope out of there.

True-king, I've got close to the same setup but I bolted a three rod holder onto an ice chest and strapped that down. I've caught some good red fish from this set up. You may not believe it but I've also gigged some good sized flounder off of Pickens in the middle of the day, and also netted tons of crab. It is a cheap alternative to taking my boat out by myself when I don't have anyone to share the gas expense.

Yeah guys, right now I plan on screwing two rod holders (bought them last night)on the back of a cooler and strapping it down on the back. Rod holders will probably be at a 45 degree angle for trolling, a fish bag will be attached on the side running the length of the ski (probably a 20x60) and I plan on ainstalling atemporary fish finder attached with heavy duty suctioncups. After that there is nothing other than a cell phone, VHF, and a flare gun that I canthink of..

I love fishing from my Jet Ski.. I mullet fish from it all the time. But learning how to throw the cast net while standing on the ski is an art form by itself. haha. But it always works for me.
