Whether the year’s model reveals were spot-on, or more of a let-down for you, there is little denying that PWC fishing is becoming a more and more prominent subset of the PWC world.
With a plethora of accessories and additions available that have been created and marketed just for those on the hunt for the perfect catch, and more and more PWC mods – and models – geared specifically for fishing, the number of people combining PWC fun, and fishing, is growing.
Whether you are an avid fisherman, looking to delve into PWC ownership to expand your fishing opportunities, or you are a long-time PWC racer or rec rider, looking to add yet another avenue of enjoyment with you jet ski, PWC fishing may be just the adventure for you.
And while there are a plethora of inspiration- and instruction-based websites and youtube channels out there when it comes to this activity, there is little doubt that JetCast has a place in the upper echelon of that list.
In the latest video release on the JetCast YouTube Channel, Aussie JetFisher Paul Hayes, along with Mick Duncan and Mark Irwan-Pack, head out on the waters in Southeast Queensland for the reopening of the snapper season, and some offshore fishing action, showing off the capabilities of the Yamaha FXHO Waverunner (2023), and Sea-doo Fish Pro Sport (2021).
Check out all the action and fun on the well-shot and well-edited video, and while you’re there, be sure to check out the video from three months ago when the JetCast folks sneak a Spanish Mackerel past the increasing competition from sharks!
And Jet Tech is one step ahead of the game with several Fathers Day Jet Ski Bundles on sale just in time for Sept. 1.
And most recently, on August 22, IJSBA released a tentative daily schedule for the World Finals, as follows:
Perhaps the most important gear one can have when enjoying a day out on their watercraft is a quality life jacket. Whether you’re a casual user who takes your jet ski out from time to time, or a competition professional seeking to squeeze the maximum possible velocity out of your racing rig, a life jacket is an undisputed necessity when on the water for everyone. However, the eagle-eyed among us may have noticed that these watercraft staples have received a small but important update in recent years.
Perhaps the most important update is the prominent display of the jacket’s buoyancy, shown as 50, 70, 100, or 150. The majority of current jackets available in the U.S. have a buoyancy of 70, which is the lowest buoyancy approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Another prominent symbol featured is a circular arrow, which signals whether or not the jacket can properly turn an unconscious person face up—an important feature, especially for those participating in higher-risk water activities. Lastly, the new design features a list of water sports for which the life jacket is not suitable, an imperative thing to know for those seeking to use these jackets for watersports and high-speed boating.
On the functional side, they offer a number of bags, coolers, and apparel items to keep you cool and comfortable, your cup holders filled, and to ease the hassle of bringing everything out to the lake.
On the other side of the spectrum, there are more luxury vehicles like the Kormaran K7, a high-end watercraft that transforms between a speedboat, catamaran, and trimaran, even while on the move. It features hydrofoils for smoother, faster rides and boasts luxurious design and advanced controls.
Now don’t get us wrong, the Kspeed 2-degree pump wedge is a great option for those looking for extra bow lift, but it comes at a cost. By “bending” that water coming out of the jet pump, you are causing a slight degree of parasitic loss.
On top of that, the impeller boasts a sophisticated blade design and a large interior housing volume, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Plus, the lightweight billet impeller is precision balanced, so you get reliable performance every time.
