Jet Ski

I’ve been a fisherman longer than I can remember, but the jet ski part began about 2002. Gas prices were inching up and my boat was expensive to maintain and operate. One day I found myself heading out into the Chesapeake Bay on my three-seater Polaris, fishing rod and net under my feet. A bit primitive, but it worked fine for catching croaker, spot, flounder and rockfish.  Before long I was venturing as far as the Chesapeake light tower, about 15 miles offshore of Virginia Beach. There I tried spear fishing as well, and had good results with spade and trigger fish.

But after a couple of years, I knew I wanted to rig a personal watercraft specifically for fishing. Research, much of it online, led me to Yamaha’s largest personal watercraft, the SUV 1200. It promised the best in size, stability and storage capacity.
