First Time Fishing off Seadoo Fish Pro Trophy

[@philmartinjr1404]

Your vids are by far the best on KZbin!! My FP trophy is scheduled to arrive in April…..I’ve never even been on a jet ski but this looks like too much fun! Hope to see you someday on the bay brother! I live Conroe, TX.

[@KagenFishing]

I greatly appreciate the comment! You are going to have such a blast on it. Just make sure to take your time and get used to it cause it’s a whole lot of power in a small craft!

[@BigK_ThirdCoastReds]

Those "rollers" look very tame and at least there's no white caps. 100% a warmer weather craft. That is definitely the way to go when you don't want and company😆 Patiently waiting to see how it does in the shallows of the marsh. Thanks for sharing... Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya. 🎣

[@KagenFishing]

The rollers around the jetty were calm but out at the end with wind and current they were stout. I can’t wait to get it to marsh!

[@BRad-qy6xi]

You’re gonna have a blast this summer! That Seadoo is money. 💯🎣💥

[@KagenFishing]

Hell I’m having a blast now. So when it’s warm and I can enjoy soaking up the sun oh yah 100%

[@brocklindseth7278]

That is so cool! Me and my buddy each ordered one this last August, and hopefully they get delivered in a month. We actually ordered the Sport, so I hope we don't regrett not getting the upgrades. According to the salesman, we will be only the second and third people to own one in the state of Montana!

[@snowayadventures]

Looking at adding one of these!!! I have a small center console but these look great!! Great video

[@kenjepsen4579]

I gotta get mine ordered... Really look forward to getting out farther than I want to go with my kayak! I love watching the fish Jimmy Phan catches at the rigs or farther for snapper... Great video!

[@rand0mchannel100]

I have a Trophy on order, should arrive soon. I agree about trolling motor. Hope you install one so I can see how you install it. Thanks for the episodes.

[@emilydav2980]

I have this motor on my boat and just love it's manuverability , power and how quiet it is....

[@ajcoutdoors6914]

Thanks for these vids man! Just put a deposit down on 2 trophies after watching! Can't wait to hit the laguna and rigs.

[@dougcharlotteclemens8401]

Good video. I just got my 2022 FishPro trophy also. you are correct, if this had a trolling motor it would be a complete game changer.......soooo. I am in the process designing a mount for the I-pilot Minn Kota now. 😀

[@KagenFishing]

Awesome to hear you are creating your own Mount. I would love if you hit me up on Instagram and sent me a DM to see how you are doing it. I know trollskii has a set up but when trolling motor is stowed it prevents you from opening front hatch which is a big con for me

[@rjmoose8918]

I thought FP Trophy had a trolling mode built in?

[@paulhuval]

@@KagenFishing just fyi there is a guy that fabricates mounts for those seadoos on you tube i think his name is mike stinger but i could be wrong. He has a youtube channel as well. He is out of Houston also.

[@sarasmith5974]

@@rjmoose8918 it does have a trolling mode.

[@kevinmalott9625]

Excellent video! I’m a kayak angler.(autopilot with spot lock) . I enjoy kayak fishing but the yak is slooow! I’m considering a 16 ft aluminum boat or a fish pro. I have a small suv. I don’t want to have to purchase a bigger vehicle. I want to troll Lake Erie for walleye. The sea doo looks like a lot of fun ripping spot to spot. Thanks

[@KagenFishing]

It is a blast!

[@mattsbrute]

Quick tech tip.... The strap hanging off your winch cable is what you loop thru the bow eye and back to the metal hook. Its so you dont chip your hull around the bow eye. 🙂

[@philrounthwaite1234]

Definitely need some reel covers. I wash mine every time. Three trips and my spare reel with no cover seized up. Now have a full set. Dollars well spent.

[@KagenFishing]

I will look into them but after rinsing I then use rem oil and reoil my reels and they are still working like new

[@MrGibsn1960]

Man, we were just out there with the kids yesterday. The sheepshead are in the rocks thick right now.

[@patricklucia7926]

Sweet it’s something I couldn’t handle because I’m disabled it was fun riding along thanks

[@layercake17]

Just subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed watching your videos. Can you name some good spots in Texas where you would go for jet skiing and fishing? I trying to find a lake with nice clear water or blue water

[@KagenFishing]

Thanks! I really only fish salt water. I know canyon lake north of San Antonio has clear water

[@dhunter018]

I have had my SeaDoo Pro for 2 years now and I use the cruise control for trolling it works fine.

[@hflores142]

Is that a nature nest roof top tent ?

[@Glasschalk1]

My son is picking his up tomorrow. I have already sent him your links. He is new to fishing; but, he is not new to jet skis. He will be fishing Lake Austin and Galveston. Can you just launch in surf from a Drive Beach/East Beach on Galveston?? The last skis we had were 2010? FI Hondas of about the same horsepower.Thanks!

[@ShacksOutdoorAdventures]

where is your head at 2 years later on this?

[@richardsm12]

Thanks so much for these videos. I've had my eye on these for a few years. The new trophy version has pretty much sealed the deal...with the addition of your reviews and use! I also would be using in Clear Lake, Texas City, Dickinson, GB, etc! I would love if you could help me with one quick question that I have been unable to answer....I have a limited 'length' of space for storage...with it on the trailer, could you tell me the exact length from the tip of the trailer tongue to the very back? I would be very grateful!

[@deplorablechump8758]

Are you in the PNW?

[@BeefMan1976]

One other idea for you ... Use a drift sock for a controlled drift after you have marked some fish on the finder.

[@BRad-qy6xi]

Let me guess..? You caught those sand trout at the A&M beach..? Sandies and Flounder hang out a lot at the A&M.

[@KagenFishing]

It actually wasn’t it was over towards the dike. But I agree a lot of sandies and flounder at A&M

[@BRad-qy6xi]

@@KagenFishing oh ok. Good job! 💯

[@auslifeandy]

I’m looking in to investing in a seadoo fish pro mate ! Good video for it. Are you confident with bigger swell, reckon prefer it to a smaller boat ? Cheers

[@abrahambetesh921]

I have one on order cant wait. My only concern is the water splashing during the ride will get in the reels in the rodholders anything we can do ?

[@KagenFishing]

You can have them in your front rod holders and won’t get wet at all. If you are in fresh water it won’t hurt them at all just oil reels every now and then. In salt water and back on cooler just rinse after a trip if you have salt rated reels. Honestly just normal maintenance keeps them working just fine.

[@stephenf3952]

What kind of net are you using and what brand waders?

[@KagenFishing]

Not sure about the brand of net. It’s just a floating one I got at academy and its actually not waders it’s the and H2O express bibs

[@jerrybranagin7615]

They got a troll mode

[@deaconperry1718]

Where and when are you going to the next spot?

[@iamarmankhalili]

I ordered me one 2, wondering how much the charged you for the trailer? Dealer told me $2500, was wondering if it is a better option to buy a used one😑

[@KagenFishing]

It’s probably a better deal to find a used one but at the same time the Move trailers are all aluminum and I have to say quality made by looking at the welds also this is the first trailer I have owned that’s a torsion axel and it tows so much smoother than leaf springs.

[@shaunhermes7289]

What brand/model landing net do you have shown in this video?

[@KagenFishing]

It’s just an academy kayak one I’ve had for ever. Floats and is small diameter but will net some upper slot reds

[@shaunhermes7289]

@@KagenFishing Thank you for the info, much appreciated. Is it telescopic? Or a fixed handle?

[@jstrom3007]

You should try how shallow that PWC can go, there's a lot of Red and Specs in them marshes. When I'm tired of taking care of my boat a fishing PWC would be my next investment, it's better than being land locked.

[@saltydawg9260]

You can't take it to shallow because it will suck up grass and plug intake. Definitely need a bow mount trolling motor if want to fish shallow.

[@jstrom3007]

@@saltydawg9260 Well that sucks, I agree about a trolling motor, and additional large staff to push your way in it can work.

[@justinburgan4184]

Is that something sunk by the jettie? I haven't been there in years and didn't hear anything about something happening.

[@KagenFishing]

Yah it’s an old shrimp boat been there for a long while now. It’s closer to the beach though

[@sompasongs]

Would love to have one, but it's pretty expensive at $13,900 plus surcharge of $400-600+, not including your state tax yet. By that time its close to a bass boat prices.

[@ia6980]

Why would sea doo place weakest engine on fish pro trophy? Why not install at least 230 engine, not even talking about 300 that gtx has, why 170? And no option to upgrade fish pro to a 230 engine?

[@kole6146]

Probably gas consumption. It lets you go a little further. I could be wrong though.

[@mattsbrute]

The Rotax 170 isn't a weak engine. Far from it. 170 fuel economy is superior for a vessel you want to fish on all day. My range full tank is around 140 miles depending on water conditions. Turbo charged PWC's are gas hogs. Its a fishing rig not a speedster machine. My GTX 170 does 58MPH and that's fast enough for me.

[@BeefMan1976]

Ok ...do a video when you get ready to mount your electric trolling motor and where you decide to put a battery. Many thanks 👍

[@luisdelossantos6238]

Which do you like fishing on more,the solo skiff or sea doo?I'm looking into getting one or the other but would like your opinion brother

[@KagenFishing]

Just depends on where you like to fish the most. Solo skiff for super shallow marsh hunting for reds but only for one person. Seadoo for flats fishing, open water, offshore handles rough water like a dream and it’s just fun af to rip around on and you can take another person to fish or ride with you. So both have pros and cons just have to figure out which one you would use more. Hope that helps.

[@MsGyp]

Not sure about a 20K vessel without a trolling motor, end up fishing right beside the pier, afraid to stand up because platform is so small and catching no fish. But it’s fun and a blast to drive!!🎉. Not sure about it as a top notch fishing platform. Off shore, in the event of mechanical failure, you are screwed without a paddle.

[@KagenFishing]

I’m going to get a trolling motor on it. That’s why you have a seatow membership or go with other people that have skis too.

[@nerminmujezinovic4901]

Check some videos on Seedoo fishing from New Zealand and Australia. Great setups with trolling motor mounts and tubies.

[@brianguseman5433]

You hv a trolling setting on the sea doo.

[@KagenFishing]

Yah for offshore trolling but inshore/marsh fishing running motor will spook fish and I’m guessing you have never used a spot lock trolling motor before cause they are awesome.

[@angelcardona4027]

Does the fish finder tell you where the fish are at?

[@KagenFishing]

I can’t tell if you are joking or being serious

[@wippdriver1]

Do you feel safer on the fish pro vs solo skiff

[@KagenFishing]

Honestly yes and no. I do feel safer on the fish pro due to my higher sitting position and further sight line and able to be seen also knowing I have more power to get out of harms way quicker potentially. But on the other hand the fish pro is more capable in tougher waters and can go further faster so on the other hand instead of me being in a still marsh with calm water on the soloskiff I then go further and in rougher, deeper water and further so kind of a relative term of what you do with each. I think it’s just always keeping in mind what you are comfortable with and the risk you are taking on every outing no matter the vessel. Really awesome question and greatly appreciate the comment.

[@wippdriver1]

Thanks for the awesome reply! I have a solo and well I just don't feel that safe on it..I think I would like to have something more seaworthy and not be so concerned about flipping over. I'm 65 and don't want the hassle if you know what I mean. Looking forward for more of your adventures!

[@natewinston6765]

Is this the 2022 model, if so what dealer please??

[@KagenFishing]

Mancuso power sports

[@hulkhoganlogan264]

Was that you at Moses Saturday?

[@KagenFishing]

Not me

[@sirshanksalot1]

I’d be straight out to the oil rigs. Tie off and fish.

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

Could definitely rig it with some rotopax gas cans and go of shore abit

[@KagenFishing]

That’s mainly why I got the fish pro. With its 18.5 gallon internal tank it has a range of 90-100miles when running in eco mode. The other great thing is with the 2 linq attachments points I can have the cooler and still attach an extra 4 gallon tank. There are also other racks I can put in that will fit a 5 gallon tank. I plan to get offshore as soon as I get a good weather opportunity!

[@saltydawg9260]

Use a drift sock on the flats.

[@KagenFishing]

I will be implementing that tactic for sure!

[@ktmdays]

Any idf problems at all

[@KagenFishing]

Not on mine.

“Pretty rough” that’s barely any chop for that thing

[@KagenFishing]

[@sean9267]

2s-3s with a short period is pretty rough on a PWC, but this Seadoo hull is by far the most capable PWC on the market.
