What Does it Take to be a Jet Ski Fishing Enthusiast?

Well first, you’re going to need a jet ski. But add a few modifications, sweet electronics, some huge cajones (10+ years experience on the water would help!) and you’re in for some of the most adventurous offshore fishing of your life. Being able to get out 30+ miles to local reefs, wrecks, and shoals with the opportunity to catch fish bigger than you and your watercraft gets my adrenaline pumping just thinking about it.

I recently caught this great video on WFN and was kind of surprised to recognize the person in it. I recognized JetSki Brian from PWC Forum where he frequently gives out some great jet ski fishing knowledge, like this recent post (complete with photos) about all the gear he packs.

Toronto Sportsmen’s Show: Mission Accomplished!

The Toronto Sportsmen’s Show is now officially over. Everyone is packing up and getting ready to head back home, it’s a shame an event like this can’t go on forever. But let’s be honest, my wallet couldn’t handle it!

I met so many wonderful people at this show, and I’m proud that I was able to spend so much time chatting with them about their lodges, products, and even share some great fishing stories with people from all over North America. As with things of a limited nature like this there are also many things that I simply forgot to do, or simply didn’t have the time. I’ll cover some of the missing bits in a later post, but for now I’m going to sit back and find some dinner.

I also ran into Ed on Saturday and Sunday. He took the photo above and today we both passed the boater exam. We are now officially licensed to pilot personal watercraft in Canada!

Ed’s also the reason why I didn’t get any posting done saturday night. I ended up going to his place downtown to have dinner that night and as it turns out he had a copy of Bass Pro Shop’s The Strike. This of course eventually lead to some epic intoxicated fights with huge lunker bass like the one below (19.9lbs Largemouth Bass). I’m definitely going to pick up a copy of this game the next time I’m at BPS, I had a great time playing it, and would love to review and own it.

Don’t go too far! We’ve still got a ton of great content from the show that we’re going to post!
