“Just go by a boat,” come the oh-so-unoriginal comments when PWC fishing comes up. We’ve featured quite a few truly extravagant rigging setups on watercraft over the years, and the ’19 Yamaha FX High Output WaveRunner used by Jetfisher.com is truly a nice piece – if not a little over-the-top for most folks.
Located out of South East Queensland, Australia, JetFisher’s video channel on YouTube explores local offshore reefs and chasing down local species. PWC fishing is a massive sport in Australia and channels like Jetfisher are only helping it grow further – offering tips and products to help you along the way.
When it came time to equip their WaveRunner, the crew at Jetfisher considered a ready-from-the-factory Sea-Doo Fish Pro ($16,854 USD) but were set on running a pair of Shoreline Jet Ski’s “Shoreline Tubbies” fishing pods. Made in South Africa by Racetech, these offer massive added storage for catches, tools, tackle and lures, built-in rod holders and live bait storage. It was a no-brainer.
Next, Shoreline equipped the Yamaha FX HO with a Garmin Echomap 65CV with GT23 (600w) Transducer; a marine VHF GME GX750 BlackBox 25W radio; USB and 12v socket; and a 28.5-gallon (27-liter) auxiliary fuel tank. Lastly, they purchased the side and rear easy-mount rod holders from GC Jetski Fishing. In all, the setup is worth an estimated $20-$25K USD, so it’s definitely going to cost a premium to replicate.

Love your page first and foremost… second 28.5 gallons is 107.8 litres not 27 litres. Keep up the great work Kevin
