I suppose fitting a mesh type cover for stopping things like rope and fishing lines wouldn’t work because plastic bags and similar would not suck thru and would block it from getting water. Anyone agree/ disagree ?
@JohnCanFishTVАй бұрын
Hi Mate, thank you so much for your comment! My Seadoo Fishpro has an iDF system. It allows us to clear clogged intakes without getting wet with the push of a button. Therefore, it can clear out plastic bags, sea weed, etc from the intake. However, ropes, fishing line & cast nets is a totally different beast as it can easily get wrapped up around drive shaft. I think Seadoo or ANYONE (with engineering skills) can invent a strong plastic mould grill plate that would solve this fishing line issue and not affect water intake will make a bunch of $$$ (if patented right).

@@JohnCanFishTV Yes it's concerning as I've just got a Yamaha FX and put some second hand Tubbies on it. But that problem seems to be where outboards have it over Jetski's. Also in thinking of going out in it and observing others when taking a look at the people doing it when you can see them from land 99% of the time they are in groups. I hardly know anyone that does it, let along be able to do it at the same time as the ones you know. Being by yourself is always concerning, a bit of a worry. Can feel safer in a kayak, no mechanical issues to worry about. Let alone get a suitable window in the weather and swell. I'm at Noosa. Plus Jetski's seem to be hated by most rich yuppies that want everything banned in our river because they don't use the river like us (and the young idiots that abuse Jetski's here) and so forth etc. Cheers

@@mickallan2071 I've only been Jetski Fishing solo... even at night! But, you just need to always be aware of all the possible issues and have the right safety gear. If I get stuck, I call Volunteer Marine Rescue Southport (I'm a paying member... well worth every dollar). I call them with my mobile phone as there is mobile coverage up to 24fathoms. However, I've started to fish around 36 fathoms lately, and their is no mobile coverage. I didnt know that until one day the engine wouldnt start (I even have two marine batteries linked up for safety). So, I ended up buying a VHF Marine Handheld radio. A good one with 5watt transmit power. It's a Uniden MHS127. I will post another video soon on Jetski safety and talk about the time the engine wouldn't start at 36fathoms and what I did to save myself. This is why I ended up buying a VHF Marine radio). I learn from my experiences and share it so hopefully I can help others prevent it from happening to them. Video coming soon!

Hi Chris, it's great to hear that you have been catching a few fish on your jetski... well done mate! However, fishing off a jetski can be dangerous if you are unaware of the dangers... such as getting your line sucked up and unable to get the line removed. Once you are that predicament, you will need an organisation like VRM to help you. So, this video is simply promoting safety.
@TheMuddatrucker6 ай бұрын
Do you guys not get taught how to clear your own impeller? Turn the ski upside down and sit on the hull. You can even take off the full intake grate if you wish but generally a long sharp knife will do the job without removing anything. Saying you can’t just jump overboard to try and fix it is the wrong thing to say! If you can’t fix your ski without wasting the coastguards time and resources then you shouldn’t be going so far out with it in the first place.
@JohnCanFishTV6 ай бұрын
G'day @TheMuddatrucker, I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, we are not taught how to flip jetskis upside down, sit on the hull and remove the intake grate. That may work for a mechanical person who's experienced... but for someone like me... it will be highly dangerous as I would not know what to do. I'm certain I'm not alone. In fact, it took me almost 45 mins, removing the jammed up line and lure on dry land. I didn't dare remove the intake grate just in case I will cause more damage. As for VMR, they provide a service to help people who face dangerous situations out at sea and the reason why we pay an annual service fee. I'm sure you would agree, that unless you are confident in doing all that ski flipping mechanical stuff, it's best not to take any chances and just call for help.
@TheMuddatrucker6 ай бұрын
@@JohnCanFishTV the Vmr service you mentioned I’m not familiar with as I’m in the U.K. is it like a breakdown service on the ocean? If that’s a service you pay for then that’s ok to call for help. I just presumed any help you’d be calling for that far out would be a Coast Guard. In the U.K. we don’t really have any rescue service other than the coast guard and I don’t think they’d be happy with me calling them out for a problem that I’ve already been taught how to solve. The hardest part of the whole job for me is having to jump in and get wet/cold - U.K. remember 🥶 You stand on the side of the ski and just pull it over, it’s dead easy. Climb up the back onto the hull and stick the knife into grate and start cutting yourself free. Removal of the grate shouldn’t really be necessary but it’s possible. The only important part to remember is when you flip the ski back right again there’s usually a certain way to do it left/right? I can’t remember, there was an arrow on the hull reminding you the correct way otherwise you’d flood the engine. But like you said, if you’ve paid for a service then might as well use it. Sorry for that, my bad 👍🏻

@@JohnCanFishTV the places you go look amazing! I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to live there 👍🏻😊 I’ll have a look at VMR when I get a spare minute too. Skis are fantastic for fishing from, go anywhere in any sea state and they just power through everything. But My only gripe with a ski is the fact you only have one engine/propulsion system, I’d like to see these new “Fish” skis have the option of a second (emergency) back up propulsion system. There’s always plenty of room inside the hulls of these big skis so a back-up system should fit in there somewhere. The closest I’ve been to needing rescue was when fishing next to rocks in Pembrokeshire Wales, I couldn’t get the engine started and was drifting into rocks! Apparently what had happened was because the engine was Off and the sea quite rough and constantly slapping the hull, water got inside the air box and caused the starting issue. I look forward to seeing a few more of yours videos later 👍🏻
