I have seen jetskis set up for fishing but I have never tried it. There is not much room for tackle storage but it seems it can be done.

Be careful when setting the hook or you may be eye to eye with the bronze back!

Nope never seen it done, guess you could, but I dont know where you would put the rod and gear

Maybe one of those telescoping rods fit in your storage area.

I've done it, just take minimal equipment and tackle. I split my rod an put it by my feet. My tackle box fit in the front storage. Casting can be a challenge, but with 4 inches of draft you can get right to where the fish are. I let the fish I catch go, if you want to keep them you need to figure something out. Where there is a will there is a way. Have fun.
