I saw a program on TV last night about a bunch of fishermen that have banded together at Blythdale beach here in SA to trawl for fish from jetskis with great success.
I have also seen spearo's at Cape vidal SA spearing from a Jetski. It was a big momma jetski, a three seater yamaha i think.
I have considered sea kayaks but realise that i am not a paddler and if i have a problem out there, ie, bites, sick, weather, etc i will have to paddle back and your range is limited.
A boat was the obvious choice but you need at least some crew to launch it.
A Jetski could be the answer ( albeit costly and restricted to three ) Naturally you would not take superflous equipment and you launch fully suited with weightbelt on to save space.
I have anticipated not using a buoy but rather fastening the buoy line to the jetski, and leaving it unmanned and drifting with it.
Does anyone here do this ? What Jetski works well. Are they all suited to salt water operation ? Any special precautions to be taken in the sea regarding safety equipment ? Flares capsize bottles life jackets ?
Surely we can install fishfinders, gps, etc . Send us pictures of your setup if you do.
