Got the ski kitted out now, so hoping to get my very first Jetski fishing trip in tomorrow morning.

Heading out to Waiheke / Motuihe / Browns for 2-3 hrs. If you are heading out to similar grounds it would be great to catch up.....need someone to keep me right :-)

Cheers
Looking forward to to fishing freedom on the Jet ski..and maybe even catching a fish :-)

Hi Cliff,

Plenty on the sounder and plenty of offer...but no fish. Despite this it was one of the most enjoyable fishing trips I've had.

I'll need to get some practice with soft baits, not something I've really done, but practice makes perfect... looking forward to another trip out very soon.

Try using micro jigs mate. Pretty much the same gear as soft baiting but you can adjust the weight of jig to suit the conditions.
Also you can go lite and adjust your position using the ski to keep vertical.
