interrupted by two jet skiers in their late teens early 20's. well you
would think that at that age you would have the intelligents, and respect
to know that racing by at 20 feet is a big NO. anyway my brother in
law's fishing buddy tells him to just move to another spot. but my
brother In law thinks screw that they were there first and it's a big lake
they shouldn't have to move... So he gestures to the young lads to come over
with a wave and big smile. they see him thinking they are gonna get some
praise for their awesome jet ski skills, as soon as they were with in 5
feet. my Bro In law screams "Get the fuck away from here or I'm gonna
sink your fucking jet skis and make you swim home!!!) It took about 3
seconds (they were a little slow) but they raced out never to be seen
again. anyway I thought it was a funny story. and some of those jet
skiers have no clue how close they sometimes come to getting their asses
kicked, cause they don't have any respect for other boaters or anglers on
the water. hell every angler knows there is a space zone you don't cross
when fishing near other anglers, it's just plane respect, and common courtesy.
tight lines and exciting hook sets...

just haven't figured out how to dress them out. Thought about herb
dressing, like what mom uses to stuff the turkey. Asked the lady what she
thought, and she told me that it sounds like they have already been stuffed.
Thought about it a minute, but she had already left the room before I could
ask "Do you mean this is just another type of turkey".

Think of this next time you run across those pains in the ass. Surely
you have a rather large crankbait in your tackle box. Tie that puppy on
and give it a toss in thier direction. Remember though, it's kinda like
Duck Hunting....... You must lead in your aim so the bait gets there at
the right time.

about 3:30 in the morning, they're sitting back in a cove fishing and they
hear that all too familiar sound of an approaching jet ski ....
they both said that, at first, they just thought they were both sleepy and
were hearing things ...
surely, they thought, some idiot isn't out here riding one of those things
in the dark ...
but then they said one came flying around the point from the main channel,
wide ass open, buzzed a quick circle around the cove and sped off back down
the river ....
they both agreed that they think the guy never even saw them
and I agree with one of the previous posts about stringing up whoever
invented those things.... they definitely get my vote for the worst
invention of the 20th century
Tommy Jinks
think I can solve a lot of problems. The following is an post
I made in response to one of Bob Reddings posts. The discussion
was with new fisherman but in his post Bob mentioned snagging
Jet skiers. Hers' my reply:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Just a note here because you're new to the sport and all.
You will often see some of the more advanced fishermen like Mr.
Redding make reference to catching or attempting to catch Jet Skiers
with fishing equipment or other readily available hurlable objects.
Please, please, please don't try this until you've been fishing for
a number of years and learned the patterns and behaviors of your
intended victims (notably homunus jetskius, excuse my latin). Like
many sports, while this may appear easy to the casual observer it
is very very difficult. Using normal lightweight tackle to snare
and unseat an unwary jet skier takes many years of practice. Without
the proper experience you can easily lose your lures, break lines,
ruin your reels and yes, some have even been known to break rods on
more than one occasion due to bad drag settings.
We often recommend that the beginning jet ski fisherman begin with
heavier equipment like salt water tackle and then work his or her
way down to the lighter bass fishing tackle. It's also a good idea
to take the rear seat for more experienced fisherman and learn from
the example. Any truly experienced fisherman will be glad to show
you the ropes once your ready to move up.
Don't worry about it though. With proper equipment, the right
training and a little patience you'll be out there snaring the
true ugly suckers of the fishing world with the best of them
Thanks,
Tommy
Maybe we should add that one to the FAQ...

It's been my experience that a St. Croix 6.5' musky rod, 36 pound braided
dacron and a 10-12" Bobbie Bait works great for Jet Skiers. The Bobbie Bait
has the proper aerodynamics for accurate casting and makes a satisfying
WHACK upon contact with the offending machine. With this rig (hooks removed
to prevent lawsuits), I have had entire bays to myself.
On several lakes that I fish, they are frequented by these brainless wasters
of oxygen and I keep a spare rod rigged this way when fishing these waters.
I've found that just a fast, flat trajectory in the near vicinity of these
morons will generally cause them to give me a WIDE berth. After a time or
two, it seems that word has gotten around and I'm known by sight, I have
some pretty quiet fishing. But it pays to be ready.

you'll never get the hook through the bone. If your casting ability is
extremely accurate, you ought to be able to cast between the extended
arms and the abdomen. Much better hook penetration, and they're easier
to release after using a fillet knife to cut a small slit in the belly
flap for hook extraction. Should the jet skier let go of the jet ski,
so much the better as it allows you time to reel in and get off another
cast or two. Having to cut off a point on the treble to get your lure
back after hooking them in the head is a waste of a good hook.

the night at a lake. That afternoon, there was a pesky jet skier buzzing around
me but I just gave him a dirty look and let it go. As darkness approached, I
beached my boat and crawled into the camper shell for some sleep. The next
morning I awoke to find my boat gone. The water rose several inches during the
night and my boat floated away. I could see a little spot out in the main lake
channel that looked like it might be my boat. I jumped in the truck and drove
around to another launch ramp and there were the jet skiers sleeping in a
tent. I told them of my situation and one of them jumped on the ski and
retreived my boat for me. I've never said anything negative about a jet skier
since.

Yep, usually it's 10% of the group that gives 100% of
the group a bad reputation. There are plenty of PWC riders
out there that respect others, but it's the few that are
jerks that give them all a bad name. I'm sure the world
outside of bass fishing has similar views of us in bass
boats...

It occurred to me that the feelings towards these "jetskiers" seems to be
getting mixed results. Maybe they are not all that bad of peoples. I don't
know but if someone was to come that close to a boat that has nasty things
being cast out of them at random intervals, things that could hurt them,
can't be all that bad? They must be friendly types.....they must be that
close to invite the owner of the boat to go water skiing! Yep that's it!
This season when the water is warmer I am going to put my water skies up on
the front platform so that when I hear one coming just slip the skies on and
cast that 7" Rapala at their backs but just to snag them in the wet suit and
do one of those "dry dock take-offs" from the front casting deck of the
boat! ( If I had larger feet I wouldn't need skies, I only have size
nines ) I have some old dacron line that is unbreakable just for this
application! Now I have to get cracking on designing a new handle for
special type of new fishing/water-skiing casting rod. One with a "Y"
handle like that of a tow rope for water skiing. HELP RodMaker is
there already one of these on the market?

Now what could be real fun, is have those skies on the casting deck, slip
your feet into them when a Beauty bends your rod in half and ride with
him/her until you know where they run! Just hope it is deep water and not

with water. Sometimes coming within 10-15 foot of me. I got to where I
would carry a pocket full of 3/16 oz egg sinkers, when they came at me, I
let them fly. I have also been guilty of tossing a superspook over them and
let it hang about 6 ft above their heads then pull back before it falls.
This usually gets their attention. Problem is that these "kids" have not
been raised on the water, there for they have no respect for their
surroundings or others sharing the water in which brings them enjoyment.

I’ve had tournament fisherman cut right in in front of me, Or take off
at high speed from
right beside me..I’ve had water skiers throw water on me. Ive had old
men pulling there
grandkids on tubes damn near swamp me with there plow boats..One does
get used to it
after a while and learn to duck..
MiketheMad
no worry about Jet Skiers on any of the good fishin lakes, there's just
too much timber around. A jet skier would get killed trying to go
where we fish. Plus, one other factor, I have never is my life seen a
bunch of fisherman scarier than these guys in Texas. If a jet skier
actually did bother one of the guides/fisherman around here, they would
follow the guy until his gas ran out and then kick his axx.
I've actually seen some ramp fights between the fishin guys and the jet
skier/drunk pleasure boaters. It usually starts like this, some jet
skier/pleasure boater is trying to back his trailer down the ramp and
then proceeds to spend 45 minutes trying to launch a friggin jet
ski/cigarrete boat thus driving me and the rest of our fishin friends
insane, at which point someone usually says something like "hey, would
you like my wife to help you back your boat idiot??"
Food for thought,
See Ya,

more money than sense' mentality of people who don't respect their
surroundings. Have no data to support my intuition, but I think most of
these types spend a lot of time in divorce and other legal proceedings.
They are not a happy group.
Might be another option for young attorneys. Instead of ambulance chasing,
they could take up jet ski chasing!

Come on. Removing the hooks defeats the argument in a couple of ways.
First, if your hooks are removed then the Je(rk)t skier has a basis to show
premeditation since nobody would obviously actually fish with a bait with no
hooks. The truly conservation minded fisherman would replace the nasty
treble hooks with singles and might even go so far as to de-barb the thing
just because he doesn't want to inflict any more damage on his
catch-and-release bounty than necessary. Second, how are you ever going to
land one without a hook? (hehehehe....) Another approach is to just fire
up the big motor and join in the fun. Bet I can get closer to them than
they can to me! Bet they will bail off before I do! One could even employ
the aid of a friend. With two boats you should be able to corral them and
run them aground! The best jetski is the one that has a big hole in the
hull and a "please recycle me" sign hanging on it.
Maybe there should be a season on them with a point system for limits? Ten
with men on them or only one nice young blonde sweetie :)

Some time ago I made meantion to the ignorant attitude of jetskiers in a
post on etiquette, they would park on the ramp with their coolers and gas
jugs,buzz back and forth to impress themselves, they are
