When we were kids Andy, big Snapper could be caught on handlines right behind you, brings back memories of good old BB.

That would have been very special, what a cool memory to have. We love that area for end of day sunsets 😄

Currently looking at purchasing a seadoo fish pro instead of a boat and just found a few of your videos mate. Unreal story to it all and quality content, thanks 👍

[@jetskifishing]

Cheers for watching, you would really enjoy the convenience of owning one, fast and exciting fishing. I’m so happy for people to be able to hear the story and now seeing so many enjoying the sport.

Why jetsky over the boat? I was looking at stabicraft 1450, but learned about jetskys...now learning more...i wonder how it does in 4-6ft swells, itll be a wet ride and in west here, ocean water is 53F, so cant do it without a wet suit

[@mortalking9090]

Very well prepared. Loved your video

[@jetskifishing]

Thank you, I have new walk around coming soon which will cover the 2023 Trophy 👍

@@jetskifishingyou’re welcome and sorry for the late reply. I plan on getting the sport or trophy this summer

[@heatherhipsher]

Hey Andrew. I ordered a 2024 fish pro Trophy. It should arrive in December. My daughters said dad we live on a lake and we don't have a Jet-Ski. So I thought that if I could get one that the kids can have fun on the lake in. And dad can do what he wants to do then this might be a win win situation. I'd be fishing in the Gulf in Texas. I'm pretty excited about it.

[@jetskifishing]

You will love the Sea-Doo FISH PRO Trophy, it’s feature rich! The best of both worlds and something that the whole family can enjoy👍

[@TheWildwoodPicker]

Great video overview of the Fish Pro... At the 6:57 mark when you talked about the trailer I had to re-play that a few times to make sure you were saying Aluminum (a·lu·mi·num) trailer... I'm sorry, but it sounded really funny when you said it. I'm sure us American's say some things that sound very funny to you too. It's all good, it just took my by surprise.

[@jetskifishing]

Cheers for watching, I’m sure our New Zealand accent is amusing, we too are intrigued at others countries certain pronunciation 😎 we normally call the alloy trailers, makes it easier ;-)

[@Aussie3rdgeneration]

Hi Andrew really well presented thanks is there a provision for an VHF antenna and marine radio ?

[@jetskifishing]

I personally is a high wattage, floating, waterproof handheld. Guys who fish more remote with less signal, add 25 watt fixed VHF units. They can be hardwired and the handset can be mounted around the sounder area…

[@starkmad5351]

Love it however I need to keep out the sun. Any kind of stretch shade cloth covering ? For protection .Umbrella of sorts ?

[@jetskifishing]

I haven’t seen any retro fit shade covers available yet, the owners in Florida having been making some DIY versions though👍

[@jetskifishing]

Hi Patrick, you will really enjoy the new FISH PRO, it’s an amazing feeling heading out each time for new adventures. I fished the St Lawrence River on the FISH PRO when I visited Valcourt in 2017 for the FISH PRO project, a cool part of the world to ride the Sea-Doo 👍

[@DF6254]

Great informative video!

[@griddlemarks6116]

Hi Andrew thanks for the great videos. Did you not get the stereo system because you cant use it when fishing anyway? fishing and playing music on the ski would spook the fish rite? Thanks

[@jetskifishing]

Hi have the audio on my latest FISH PRO, it’s very impressive how well it goes and is very easy to control your music through the right hand controls. I tend to use the audio on my long rides, not so much for when I’m fishing… I too like the silence for catching the fish 😄

Perfect thanks so much!

[@andrewd6629]

Are you able to do a re-entry video showing how to get back on if you fell off.

[@jetskifishing]

The FISH PRO is so stable you should be able to pull yourself up on the side grabbing the handle bars and putting your backside into the footwell. Worse case scenario you can release the LinQ Cooler while in the water and use the rear boarding ladder to get back on. In all my years of riding the FISH PRO, I have never even been close to falling off it..,

[@andrewd6629]

@@jetskifishingthanks for that info looks super stable itching to get mine soon

[@thegeorgehammon]

Yeah, we get all types of body shapes and sizes up on the side of our fish pros. Grab the handles on the rear seat and launch your upper body out of the water, 😀. Best done without any spectators, and no filming allowed.

[@jetskifishing]

Thanks, hoping to do another one next month covering the FISH PRO Trophy

[@IntuitiveIQ]

Great content as always. I will definitely order some mounts, the fish bag and some other gear from you after I order my ski. I'm still curious about your thoughts about installing hypalon tubes on the sides of the ski. You haven't done it so I'm guessing you don't think it's necessary even for very rough conditions, but I would love to hear your thoughts about it. 🙏🏻

[@jetskifishing]

Thanks for taking time to watch my videos, it’s always pleasing to hear viewers are enjoying them. As far as the hypalon tubes, it’s something I’ve yet to desire as I’m generally happy with the overall performance and look of the FISH PRO as it sits. I am conscious I also don’t want to limit the agility and performance of the stock hull, but wouldn’t mind trying a ski modified at some stage to see what benefits the tubes bring…

[@jonathanlake8270]

Did you ever have issues centering the ski on the trailer?

[@jetskifishing]

Hi, on the Futura, before I made an improvement to it, I occasionally found that once loading the ski on the trailer it did not always sit true up against the V block at the winch post. This was improved once I added additional rollers on the front bracing cross member (either side of the keel roller) Hope those learnings help your query

[@simonmcgrath6933]

Hey mate, how exactly does the live bait pick up work - where exactly is the water being drawn from ? I'm not quite following the science of this device !

[@jetskifishing]

The pick-up has a scoop on it that captures water (from under the hull) when the ski is on the move, the water then goes up the tube to the cooler jetskifishing.co.nz/products/ultimate-st3-live-bait-pickup

[@simonmcgrath6933]

Ahh , I see it now ! Awesome, Thankyou. Fantastic invention.

[@JDVaron]

Thanks for the video. How do you anchor in deeper water? Is there some time of handle in the storage bin to tie an extra rope to the attach the anchor? Since you can’t really the actual front of the ski to tie the anchor from there. Thanks

[@jetskifishing]

Hi Juan, I personally don’t anchor for my fishing… all my fishing is drifting, it’s easier and more practical for on the FISH PRO Owners who do anchor have a system connecting to their bow and a lead rope to grab it attached to this eye on the Ultimate ST3 Front Mount jetskifishing.co.nz/products/ultimate-st3-front-mount?variant=39636172734545

[@marknolan9005]

Hi Andrew, any experience and comments on whether a roller or bunk/skid type trailer for these jetskis? These Futura trailers look good.

[@jetskifishing]

I personally prefer roller, the rears must pivot to work effectively when you retrieve with little water. Also guide poles are really important, makes for easy of handling when by yourself with tidal currents. The Futura is quickly proving a popular trailer in the NZ market, I have been helping with its development.

[@bingbong59]

Just picked up my 2022 fish pro from Wanaka, very very happy, trailer same as yours. Where can I buy clothing to suit? Nice video, thanks.

[@jetskifishing]

Congrats, all my clothing options are here jetskifishing.co.nz/collections/jetskifishing-clothing

[@Trevdeclune]

The instructions say there is a dual ventura system to scavenge any water that may get in the bilge while driving, do you know how many gallons/Litrs it can remove at speed. I have installed a seperate fully automatic electronic 500GPH Rulemate Mod RM500B, bilge pump running directly from second battery through 4amp fuse. Thinking about rerouting the ventura pipes to both footwells to keep them dry?

[@jetskifishing]

Yes you are correct about the bilge system working while driving, good you have enhanced your system for your needs. I doubt the concept will work adding it for the footwells as it defeats the purpose wile at rest is when you would really want them fully drained and on the move they naturally drain most water on accelerating… I look forward to hearing what modifications you make 👍

Hi Andrew, How come you dont have a rego number on your ski

[@chrismacfarlane]

😂- I just got my fish pro 4 days ago , first time out so excited - I got welcomed by the Tauranga harbour patrol with a $200 fine for no rego number. I had it in the locker but not displayed, not good enough for them. They then went straight passed a small boat with 4 locals no life jackets- did nothing.

[@melissacranson4202]

Hi Andrew, how do you connect the white fishing bag thanks

[@jetskifishing]

My Ultimate Catch Bag has long grey straps at each end, one end ties to the factory FISH PRO side cleat above the side bumper and the other end to the grab handle of the rear seat… the bag then sits length ways down the foot well.

Hi Andrew. Are there options for the live bait pickup as far as adding a pump for when just sitting still and fishing? Awesome products you have by the way.
