There are many factors that make a jet ski a successful fishing craft. Firstly,the turbulence and noise in the water while trawling is minimal. This is possible because the propeller,which is in a housing (impeller) and the exhaust are only a foot below the waters surface. Where as with an outboard motor, the propeller and exhaust are about a metre below the waters surface, which enhances additional noise. A personal water craft is very easy to manoeuvre in and out of the surf, which makes fishing a pleasure. Fishing trips can go ahead even when conditions are to bad for a boat, as the jet ski is designed to ride the swells with ease. Frequently we have ventured in 35 knots plus to areas that are sheltered, to enjoy great fishing. If you have an hour free in your day, you can go fishing,as there is no crew required. With the 3 Seater versions, it is no problem to comfortably fish with two people at once. A personal water craft is quicker to clean rather than a boat and easier to store while not in use. With fuel being so expensive at the moment it is definetly more economical to fuel a jet ski, especially with the performance achieved by the efficient engines in late model skis. When the PWC is not being used for fishing, you can also have its additional uses,such as skiiing, biscuiting, cruising, picnics etc. Most important when fishing on your jet ski you will catch many fish in good time, with out all the additional time needed for boat maintenance at the end of your trip.
