Review of Fishing and Driving a Sea-Doo Fish Pro! 

I was looking at a kayak, then John got a boat, so I started looking at a boat then he shows this!

Mr Skinner doing 51 mph one handed his first time on a ski. 100% cowboy.

I fish from my 2019 Fish Pro all the time and I just love it. I am really glad to see Skinner fishing from one of these, It just made my day.

I’m waiting on my 2021. This is prob the most informative vid on the fish pro I’ve seen. Really great for somebody who isn’t familiar with how to operate a modern day Sea Doo. Love how he talked through everything he was doing. Great job!

Love waking up and seeing a new skinner video

Good afternoon Sir, I've been watching your videos for a few years and I never thought in a million years I would see you on a Sea-Doo. Stay Blessed and Safe.

I feel sorry for the fluke if John ever gets one of these.

Thank you for having a video that explains everything about the Fish Pro like a newbie. Because that's what I am!

Hey John love your videos and glad you got a chance to try out the fish pro! I knew if you had a chance to ride it by yourself that you would change your mind really quick about the whole speed thing. It's crazy how stable they are now and how 55mph feels slow and to do it with one hand goes to show you how confident you were in the ride quality that quickly. Keep the videos coming they're great!

I told you you would love the Fish Pro if you tried it. I love mine!!! Please get one and make some amazing videos on it. We all want to see it!!!!

John, Great video. I have been fishing off a 2008 Sea-Doo GTI 155 for about eight years now and love it. Only this year have I gone back to a boat and that's primarily due to young grandkids Mine is rigged with a cooler rod, holders, rod holders just forward of your legs for trolling, fishfinder GPS and a VHS with 8ft antenna. I think I have been at 50 miles an hour 4 times in all those years. I fish near shore and it could get real sporty real fast hitting a wave crosswise at that speed. it is an excellent platform especially if you're migrating from a kayak and want to get further out. I think you'll find it is cheap to run and very easy to store for those with limited storage capacity. Mine fits in the garage. It is not perfect because it is a wet ride. It is it doesn't have the storage that a boat has and it is a little bit more athletic ride than a boat. I know you didn't have the time but it's very relaxing to sit sideways on the seat with your feet on the gunnel just dragging or jigging bait.

Very innovative. Lots of great engineering and tech.

Great video John! Has it all- fishing in Peconic Bay LI, passing US Coast Guard Cutters, and enjoying a Sea-Doo Fish Pro! I grew up there in Southold NY fishing with Dad, then went across LI Sound to attend Coast Guard Academy in New London CT. Discovered you while shopping online for a Sea Doo Fish Pro to enjoy here in my home of 30 yrs, Raleigh-Durham NC. This is an excellent jet ski fishing overview, with clear insights on Sea Doo Fish Pro features! Thank you and Mike Epstein! I'll share your video with my brothers for warm memories of growing up boating and fishing with our Dad! 👍

Best review yet seriously thumbs up 👍👍👍👍

I love my Fishpro. I’ve had a nice boat before I had this Sea Doo. I’ll take the Sea Doo over a boat any day. Unfortunately I’m stuck in Afghanistan for who knows how long. I’m going to need a fishing buddy!

Idk why but I wish your intro had the Superintendent from the Simpson’s just yelling SKINNER! lol

Looking like a PRO John! Cool vid!

This looks awesome!!

This looks like a lot of fun!

Great video! New and informative content.

That jet ski is really awesome!!

Great video! I've had my eye on one of these

Yessssss John sending it one handed and 50mph🤙🏼

Been waiting for a real review 👌

You now have a boat sponsor. Very cool concept for a young limber fisherman. I don't think my fat old back would be feel too good after a long night of striper fishing. Thank you for the fun Skinner review and short fishing adventure.

I got one of these sea doo's this year and am catching limits of fluke in barnaget bay NJ and can get to any spot they are great

On the dock " Yeah I wont be doing 50 MPH....lol" then 10 minutes later..."let me see if I can do 50MPH one handed while holding my camera....lol"

Wow , really nice PWC ,

I own a Yamaha fx ho 2018 that I converted for fishing. GPS/fishfinder custom rod rack which holds a yeti cooler. I've owned boats and kayaks and this is my favorite. So easy to maintain and clean. Goes fast and I can get in really shallow water. Anyone thinking about getting one should not think twice.

I took delivery of one of these back in January 2019...best purchase ever. Highly enjoyable down in PR as it allows what ïve coined ¨hit and run fishing¨ ...a very light, very fast outing with minimal expenses and loads of smiles.

I own one of these . Best purchase I ever made.

I’m definitely getting one of these

That is the only way to. Go. Fishing. For. One person. I. ❤. It. Thaink. You. For the. Time and. The. Great. Video. Good luck. Fishing

Wow John skinner on a jet ski 2020 just doesn’t let up. LMAO

I've been wondering about this machine great info

Wow great video. I'm really interested purchasing the fish pro.

Ordering the 13 gallon Fish Pro cooler with rod holders for my Seadoo 300 hp RXT-X. Just need to swap Link couplers. Idles in F at 3-5 mph, just right trolling speed for Salmon. Goal is to land some Halibut. It's about a 45 min. drive to a free public boat launch on Discovery Bay on the Juan DeFuca Strait. Just found this channel, maybe I'll find some fishing tips.

Was just looking at one the other day, they look cool

Awwww you can tell by John's voice ... like someone took his new toy away ...

Good morning John happy fishing

Looks like a positive step towards getting a boat sponsor.

I love my fish pro. I started in a hobie and fished out of it for 7 years, havent used it since I bought my sea doo spring '19.

Like a kid with a new toy, John. Like a kid with a new toy :)

Going to get my 2023 on friday!!!

Nice review

Just bought a 2024 Fish Pro Trophy to fish the Montauk waters, I live there and have been Kayak fishing the south shore for years.. Yehhaaaaa my new ride. the new ones are 170 HP and are much more equipped. Cant F ing wait to pick it up.

great video nice job :)

Moving on up!!

John goes off on jet ski, and never comes back👍🏻

I rigged up a wave runner to fish over the winter. It works but it’s kinda tiring for long trips

My dream watercraft!

You know he wanted to hit that wake off the yacht so bad 🤣

Well ok a few extras I’d like to see! First off it’s a fair weather rig how about a windshield for colder temps also forward mounted pole holders for trolling and also an anchor for back trolling a river a backrest for long hours and last but not least some dadgum shade! Other than that I guess it’s pretty cool!

It looks like you're riding a motorcycle. Thanks for the ride along.

I don't see this being any better than an ordinary kayak. The steering is very imprecise, and you need precision positioning over structure among other things. It's also a hazard for dealing with boats. It is essentially retrofitted with fishing add-ons and, you have to reach backwards to get a pole. Save yourself a ton of money and get a kayak with or without a trolling motor. The only real benefit I see is being able to get to your spot a whole lot faster.

Like to see you enter a shark tournament with that John ☺️

I've considered getting one of these but have not as they have a carbon ring problem as well as issues with the way the transducer is installed. Hopefully they will get these resolved.

Bc I'm going to need that video if I buy one lol cool vid john

I need one of that sea Doo

Unhooking a blue will be the ultimate show.

I wish it had a hose connection for those trips when the deck gets bloody/slimy. That and spot lock would make it the perfect vessel for me!

2 grown on a jet ski, one of them is skinner... how can you not watch🤪

Interested in the fish pro , more video

I would love to do this but I would have to register it and pay taxes. Sticking to my Hobie. Great vid John.

Going 55 mph one handed on a ski doo?! Mr. Skinner, you're a braver man than me.

I think you've found your fish boat sponsor John! Here in Florida with a hundred mile range that thing can be a lot of fun! An auto pilot and a seat back that tips forward for facing aft in comfort? Who could ask for more? Okay, maybe a trolling motor with anchor lock, retractable Bimini.

Now, ide take that over a kayak any day!. Far FAR better than a kayak. i mean a kayak your more relax in your recline seating position, and you get quite the exercise paddling or peddling. But for me sea doo is a far better proposition for fishing off shore. It can handle large waves. far easier to climb aboard should you fall off, better storage and location of gear. you can stand up, to me its just better, if a storm comes along you can out run it. AND trailering it is seemingly not so bad. Even for a small vehicles. it just seems safer than a kayak.

Really Kool!

Considering the chop you were running at your 40-50 run, how smooth was it feeling? I’ve been looking at these since they first came out and have never rode a jet ski

I am thinking about jet ski for fishing but I have a bad back would this be a deal breaker?

Do we see a Sea-Doo with SS Skinner on the side in the future?

Looks good but what if you catch a big fish like a Northern pike where do you put it ?

How long did the gps stay on while drifting ??

when will there be more john skinner combinations on J & H tackle? with the quantum accurist s3 and nexus rod?

Famous words we live by: “Let’s see what it’ll do!” Lol!

I would love one of those but just a little bit bigger; about that size plus another half. Maybe a 3/4 walk around capability, port to stern and around to starboard. And an optional pop-up or place-in rail, for the sides to stand and lean on without falling in. Now if I really want to start dreaming, make it so you can put up a canopy over it and for extra special safety, a port and starboard boom float extension for extreme stabilization and to prevent capsizing should you get caught in a hell scenario and can't ride it out and want to throw out an anchor.

What rod was you using john?

I am trying to buy one but could not find the dealer having it and dont know how much out of pocket total?

Time to trade in the kayak

Hey John, that thing looks FUN! Pardon my off topic question, but what roof rack rod holder do you use on your truck? Is it DIY or something you can point me to? Thanks in advance.

What rod and reel did you use

PS....Can I use up to 8oz or will that be too big...Thanks in advance.

What!? no 10 lb fluke on your first drop!?....nice run through on the machine.

Anyone else do a double take when he said Epstein

Did you try out the brake?

Hey John, i just purchased your fluke mastery course on salt strong, but where do i go and see the course to start it after purchasing it ?

Just curious. I have a scooter and having to sit with knees far apart and up is very uncomfortable after a while. Is this good for comfort?? Otherwise looks cool

2020 ... crazy year...

What was the set up? Rod&Reel?

Love my 17 foot Montauk It’s boss

skinner needs to buy the porgie machine

Now hear this!! All ships at sea be on the 👀 lookout for Capt. John Skinner. He’s working on rules of the road , ocean etiquette etc . Semaphore him to make sure he’s wearing his life preserver..Being a Navy vet enjoy your new hobby, Respect the ocean 🌊 always .. LOL...Think Flounder..You have not done a catch/cook ..Drat !! Guess I’ll go back to my bowl of Wheaties

John, going fishing in 80 feet of water can I use 8 oz bucktail for fluking

A weak fish around NJ / NY area looks just like what we call a speckled sea trout here in Fla. Are they the same thing?

So, John, at about 15 grand would you buy one instead of -or in addition to- your boat?

John, how was the water spray? Dry for the most part? Seems the only down side is not having enough time on the water haha. Pretty awesome little machine for sure. If this had spot lock which I'm sure in the future they will this will be the next best fish machine.

I'd like to see you fish out of that in 2-3 foot chop. That would be fun.

Brother! Yu are too cool!

Beautiful his motorcycle

Can this also be used to haul ppl on tubes
