Where's the Barbie Derek??

Derek 'The Chef' Robertson of Gone Fishin' fame has put a jetski to good use.  None of your racing around beaches and tormenting swimmers and other sensible water-lovers for Derek.....  he's going to be sneaking up on a few mega-reds with his new Yamaha jet-ski. 

"Jetskiiers have really built a bad reputation with many other beach goers" says Derek.  But here's a fantastic use for one of these things" he adds.  The 650hp Yamaha is a great looking machine and the baitboard and rodholders complete the set-up. "I can get to lots of great reefs and top inshore fishing spots really quickly, comfortably and safely." commented Derek.

 

As kayak fishing has really taken off, could this be the next big craze??  Who knows but a smart bet would be that we'll see a small stainless stell barbie on Derek's JetSki before long - that's taking freshly cooked snapper to a whole new level!!!!
