Jet Ski

Hey everyone! I wanted to know if any one knew of a good repair person for a jet ski. Hopefully in the lake area. Thanks

Re: Jet Ski

Jet Ski?? Take it to the local junk yard and they'll crush it for ya. May even give ya a couple buck for it.

Re: Jet Ski

sorry but i hope you can,t fix it.I have had bad experience with jetskis ridden by other people and again sorry just my opinion

Re: Jet Ski

I think you are going to find that most of the folks are anti jet ski due to the way that "most" jet ski riders operate their craft. I know of a few folks who keep large lead weights on hand to throw at jet ski's that get too close etc................

Re: Jet Ski

Yeah, I had a bad experience with a couple jet skiers this past weekend. I was fishing a a fairly narrow creek and two jet skiers (man & women) keep running within 15 yards of my boat. I don't know if they were intentionally being rude or if they just didn't know any better, but these folks were running up and down the creek I was fishing(at least 15-20 times). To make matters worse, they were both attempting to jump each others wake. I couldn't even stand on the trolling motor (had to sit). Goes without saying, my blood pressure went through the the ceiling.

Re: Jet Ski

Not to take sides as I don't own a jet ski, but for every rude jet sier out there, there is a rude or reckless fisherman as well. We all have a right to enjoy the water and must be respectful of each other's pursuits.

Just simple common sense and courtesy. For example some of the things I see that irk me

There is no reason to speed by a guy standing in his fishing boat

Also no reason for a bass boat to travel around curves at 60 mph on a busy lake

There is no need to fly by a guy who is trying to swim in the water or tube with his kids

At the same time, it is irresponsible to drag one's kids and tubes through a highly traveled area of the lake where they can be run over.

IT also burns me when i see boats stopped with people outside in an are that is obviously a well traveled channel when they should be off in a cove that is less protected.

Again, not trying to defend the jet skiers, however I don't htink we shold paint them all with the same broad brush. There are plenty of jackasses of all types on the lake, even some fishermen

Re: Jet Ski

Well said crappy fisherman !! I don't own a jet ski either but I do respect there right to be on the water.We all need to respect each others space.
If I remember correctly deputy dog is a fisherman also and I would think he or she has respect for both.
Good luck on getting your jet ski repaired deputy dog!!!

Re: Jet Ski

i have a 93 bass tracker with a 60 on it and i have had people seem to get ***** if i go by them at full speed i stay as far away from them as i can but in my opinion the wake is less at full speed than if u slow down just wanted to see what everybody else thinks

Re: Jet Ski

Oh yea jet ski bassboats favorite target,I use to try and give them room until they started harrassing me on the lake by getting to close while I was fishing,cutting across my bow while I was running,jumping my wake etc. etc.Hell I have seen them off Cape Lookout miles off shore you cant get away from them or the disrespectful folks who operate them.You see small children on them and I know theres a legal age limit to operate the things.
