They are also considered as a toy here on the waters in california but
that is mainly because there are fewer waters and more fishermen
which makes up for fishing traffic jams on the lakes. I've acually
been to a lake and there were so many people on the water that there
was zero shorline visible with the exception of a small patches, so I
loaded up and left without even getting a line wet. Now you mix that
with jetskis and well you can see what can happen.
But I can see where in many areas this would be a great way to get
around especially in the southern states where I grew up and there is
an abundant supply of rivers and lakes. This would be a great way to
reach some out of the way places easily, especially since the draft
on jetskis is usually on about 1-2 foot at the most. I'v owned and
ridden several over the years, and actually did use one of them for
some bay fishing back in the day.

Fishing off a jet ski is a trip! I even got to drive a little this

Thanks for the fun trip report. I'd never have dreamed of using a
jet
ski to get to the fishing areas. But I'm from MN and around here
they're strictly regarded as toys or nuisances, depending on if
you're
riding or within ear shot or wake shot.
