Thanks for the sounder tips Andrew. They help me to understand the Cv62. Much appreciated

[@jetskifishing]

Pleased to be of help.

[@GavinRichardsonNZ]

I'm so stoked to have seen the doco explaining your history of helping develop the fish pro. What an achievement! Awesome effort! Well done. Another kiwi nailing it 🤙 I'm about to pick up my first fish pro and can't wait to get back out on the water. Gavin

[@jetskifishing]

Hi Gavin, the FISH PRO is such a great all rounder platform, congrats on getting one! Pleased you enjoyed the “Inspired by” vid, I am very grateful Sea-Doo shared my story 👍

[@dalecassel3862]

Wow what an eye opener

[@TheSavannahCatWhisperer]

At 2:02 The cloud looks like a CROCODILE 🐊 opening it's mouth, looking to the right with a body and a tail ! Anyone see it too ? Give a 👍

[@briantidey2225]

Really enjoyed watching your video explaining the input you had with the fish pro. I'm just waiting on some cash and I'll be getting my first ever ski. Definitely going to be the fish pro trophy with all the trimmings. Started following you today. But seen a few if your videos on these Jet skis

[@jetskifishing]

Thanks for watching my videos and I really appreciate you taking time to let me know you enjoy them. I’m really grateful to continue to help Sea-Doo with the FISH PRO project and honoured to be able to share the story of how it all came about. All the best for getting your own FISH PRO, you will love it!

WOW just simply WOW.

Nice one mate. Good too see the snapper on 🎣

[@jetskifishing]

Cheers, was a great mixed bag, was pretty surprised to see the big snapper hit the Kingfish jig 👍

[@fish4zaz551]

Nice vid bro 🙌🏽

[@danielhill136]

Great work yummo

[@jetskifishing]

The Blue cod is our favourite to eat 👍 Cooked in the pan with Garlic Butter and served in fresh bread 😀

[@maifeamaifea278]

Bought me a Fishpro last year and loving it. Never try soft bait as I'm not good at it but looks like you killing it

[@jetskifishing]

The Fish Pro is a fishing weapon 👍 soft baiting is a lot of fun with great results, be sure to try it one day 🎣

[@fabiovettor]

Are you Sampey? Very Good fishs

[@yaseen_abbas]

Hey Andrew, what is the settings you are running? did you play with the gain / scroll speed or any of those settings? I never know If mine is setup properly to start with.

[@jetskifishing]

I use mine on the factory default settings, no need to adjust the gain unless in really deep water…

[@CapeFrank57]

Hello Andrew, thanks for your great videos on fishing on a jet ski.. Question i am tossed between a 2022 Yamaha SVHO Limited and 2022 Seadoo Fish Pro Trophy In your mind which one is the most reliable to go offshore….. Thanks keep up the awesome work….. Frank

[@jetskifishing]

Hi, I personally prefer naturally aspirated for my off shore fishing adventures, they are more reliable and much better fuel economy. The Trophy is accessorised like no other personal water craft, it’s an easy decision to what I choose for my fishing 👍 order a proven fishing weapon that’s ready to go for your adventures 😄

[@CapeFrank57]

@@jetskifishing Thanks Andrew for your fast reply One more question With one do you prefer 2019-2022 ?

[@jetskifishing]

@@CapeFrank57 the later model you receive, the better it is, the original 2019 was 155 horsepower… the newer FISH PROs are all 170 horsepower, plus each year there is small add on features added.

[@ETHAN_VR123]

Mr Hill do you use wire when catching big fish so not to get busted? Btw i love watching your video. Youre the reason i bought a fish pro. I havent use it yet, still on the process register at DMV.

[@jetskifishing]

Congrats on getting your FISH PRO, you will love it! I mainly fishing with braid, this particular video was using 80 lbs braid, with 120 lbs leader and a 10/0 hook.

[@ia6980]

I solo fish on inflatable in the ocean in Western usa, and i wonder if solo sea-doo would be much better option? I would be able to go out much farther, but stil undecided about wet fishing... any thoughts from you? Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences!

[@jetskifishing]

Happy to help where I can, thanks for all your questions. We have approximately 100 miles range on the FISH PRO main fuel tank, plus you can add a fuel caddy on the rear LinQ attachments for extra reserves. I haven’t experienced much solo inflatable experience, all I can say is I really enjoy the Sea-Doo for fishing, I’ve been doing it for over 16 years now!

[@bigsuccerhippo2132]

Was that recently Andrew or the last time you were in the far north? Those conditions looked mint, great video 👍

[@jetskifishing]

Hi Terry, this was Friday, weather wasn’t to bad :-) was nice to be able to share some quality screen shots with the subscribers 👍 Thanks for watching 😀

[@jorgemoreira858]

good video, during the whole time of fishing was with the battery on? not in danger of her dying?

[@jetskifishing]

Thanks for watching, the fish finder only draws minimal power and the FISH PRO recharges the battery while the engine is running. The battery has sufficient power to run the fish finder for long periods, if the battery level happens to get below a certain voltage, it automatically switches off the power to the fish finder so you have enough power to start the FISH PRO👍 There is also the option to install an auxiliary battery kit from Sea-Doo.

[@ia6980]

Why most ppl in new zealand/australia use bait caster? Its a lot difficult to reel baitcaster vs spinning reel. Have you considered electronic one?

[@jetskifishing]

I use spinning reels mainly, 4000 series spools, they work better for casting softbaits and seem to cope better with not getting so much saltwater corrosion. I use overhead electric reels (Daiwa Tanacom and Seapower) for any deep water drops when fishing 300 plus feet.

[@grahamboyd9491]

Hey Andrew do you ever use a drogue to slow your drift ?

[@jetskifishing]

Hi Graham, I tried the drogue in the early years and it was another thing to do with not so much reward and always a risk of sucking up the rope through the jet pump… I quickly learnt using heavier jig heads and for long casts well ahead of the drift gave good results with lots of opportunities for fish to hit the baits on the drop 👍

[@anvilj]

Hi Andrew, can you please help! I no longer have bottom showing up on my cv62 sounder screen. I've reset to factory but it didn't fix. Great vids btw and i LovE my 2019 fp.

[@jetskifishing]

Hi, pleased to hear you two have a FISH PRO, they have been hugely popular 😀 Check the correct transducer setting is showing on the sonar screen, it should sat GT15. If it sill does not read the bottom, have your Sea-Doo dealer check the in-hull transducer, fluid level (if low on fluid, it can effect the bottom reading)

[@anvilj]

@@jetskifishing thanks mate!

[@Youknowwhatimean7]

Hey mate, what sounder are you using? I’m using echomap 65v on the seadoo fishpro and really struggle to see isolated fish when above 40m. I’m considering upgrading to a bigger and better sounder Thoughts?

[@jetskifishing]

Hi, I use the same Garmin sounder while using all standard settings… I find I have consistent detail in to the areas I fish in saltwater up to 50 odd metres. Maybe worth also confirming your transducer has optimum fluid levels before resorting to completely swapping out your unit. I now use the 7” touch screen Garmin that comes with the Trophy, it’s still the same transducer and same performance 👍

[@Youknowwhatimean7]

@@jetskifishing interesting 🤔 I actually just had the sounder serviced. Maybe I’ve just got no idea what I’m doing lol I appreciate the feed back

[@jetskifishing]

@@Youknowwhatimean7 most important is your are getting a solid bottom line on fish finder/sonar, that will eliminate if the transducer is low on fluid. The more time you use your FISH PRO, the more familiar you get with the different fish sign. I don’t use fish ID mode where it shows fish as fish images, the performance and accuracy isn’t as good, all the best hunting the fish👍

[@Youknowwhatimean7]

@@jetskifishing yeah I’m hearing you. I can definitely see the bottom and most live bottom. Although I don’t see isolated fish. And definitely can’t see my fishing line dropping across my screen. I don’t know if it has anything to do with depth and currents. But clearly not as you’re saying your having no issues at 50m. I’ll have to look into more, very frustrating

[@Triplestar36]

do you anchor up in deep 50m or you just let the ski free\

[@jetskifishing]

Not anchored, just use heavier lure weights, often 3oz or as heavy as 4oz…

[@blakebartley9636]

I need to move to NZ. I’m over here chasing them flat out….. he’s yanking em in like they are bream over here.

[@jetskifishing]

Some regions are very special for fishing in NZ, this particular session was pretty special 👍 thanks for watching!

[@shanephillips7584]

Andrew do you prefer to fish 40 to 50 meters

[@jetskifishing]

I prefer 30 to 40 metres as it’s a bit easier to keep the bait in touch with the fish. The deeper you fish the more jig head weight is required and if in to much current it’s very hard to get to the bottom for longer enough.

[@shanephillips7584]
