Kiel... that's pretty damn cool!
I consider myself a fisherman first, so it doesn't matter to me whether I'm using a kayak with a paddle, pedal, sail, PWC, or power boat.  It's all good to me, and I'd gladly give it all try! :smt003
I agree 100%!!!

Hey Bro, I've been thinking(dreaming) about using a jet to fish the delta for years.
Shallow draft and a narrow profile would enable the jet to go where others can't.
I always envisioned a bow mounted trolling motor/mount on one...
Just zip into the zone, cut the motor, go to electric - kill the bass! :smt003

That'll work!
Actually, I was thinking of a flip down bow mount, but I guess you could manually raise your electric too.

I don't think you have enough room in the bow Bro.

Yeah, come to think of it, there's not a whole lot of space up there.
That front bracket you posted would prob. be the best option.
Unless you hang it off the back on the pole holder bracket you posted earlier.

That pic is not my Jet Ski Bro.  :smt003 I got the all idea right here. www.jetskisportfishing.com  I am not going to put a trolling motor on my Jet Ski though.

I can see this really being the ticket for me. sitting in a kayak kills my back, but on a jet, you could stretch out, even stand up if you wanted! I am liking the concept, except, what if it takes a dump three miles up the coast? Do they make attachments for oars on the handlebars? Do they have an app for that?
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Thought about it for years,  but I'm too cheap and really love human power.   If my health demands it i will be seriously considering it...
as long as i can keep fishing i will be happy...  but until i cant yak,I'll be one the plastic no gasser. :)
Less Mental than before, Still savage AF tho <3
