It's about time one of the manufacturers made one and here it is: https://www.sea-doo.com/watercraft/sport-fishing/fish-pro.html

I think Sea-Doo have been a little unambitious in their design, but it's a start.

Looks good. 

Interesting to note that it is longer than my Frewza F14, so will probably need to be angle-parked to fit in a 6m garage on its trailer.

I wrote a short article on jet ski fishing for a local lifestyle magazine. I could have written a lot more, but think I covered the key points. Jet ski fishing might not be for you, it's definitely not for everyone, but it might be the best thing you ever did!

MB, that link doesn't work for me. Perhaps because it is a secure site 'https'?

The link works for me. I guess they're testing the market with the first one and then over time they'll get a bit more daring with the design. Looks good though.

Does this help or too small via Fnet?

I read the article thanks. I am tempted to be honest, but I do like to anchor and burley up. A ski would suit my present house a lot better.

And another one: https://www.fishing.net.nz/fishing-news/2018-ultra-lx-f-fishing-jetski/

This looks even less ambitious, it's pretty much a standard ski with the standard add-ons.

Had a look at the new Fish -Pro down at Capital City Sea-Doo just arrived and more than a few pre sold.

a great looking weapon well thought out and with input from one of NZ's pioneers in Ski fishing.

The duck board is bloody impressive and essentially a bolt on to the existing ST3 hull very comfy and an extra 10lt tank would be great for a little extra range.

Every man needs a boat and a ski! Boat for family/mates fishing trips and big day's out. Ski for a quick trip to the saltwater "supermarket" for some fresh fish LOL

I just need to convince Mrs MB!

hi FG, is that a waverunner ex model (looks like it)? I just bought myself one and I am starting to look at fishing setups.
What did that cage and bin cost if you dont mind me asking?
