Jet boat trolling techniques

[fish_fan]

I've been cruising up and down the river all month and haven't had any luck. I use a 10 lb anchor to keep my presentation down low and keep her as slow as possible to maintain control. About 25 mph on the gps. I use the new suffix power pro braid winch line 2000lb. Just wind her in if I get a snag.


Has anyone tried dragging nets with their jet. How far back would you have to place them.



I'm just kidding. I would never do that. He'll I dont even own a jet boat.

This would be a joke right?

Its just Fish Fan having a hissy girly fit because he hates jet boats.


Thinks the rivers are all his or sumpthin.


Only child I bet.


Not interested in listening to reason.


Probably owns a float tube.


One day he may learn to share, but until then, he will be a very lonely person.


Its ok fish fan, there there. Now take your medicine like a big boy. It will make things better.

there's alot of big rivers where a j-boat belongs. but j-boats make as much sense in fly fishing areas as taking a float tube down a set of rapids. just cause you can doesnt mean you should. your rant made me laugh.

From that other jet boat thread...If you slow down in a jetboat the boat rides lower in the water. The lower it rides in the water the bigger the wake.Its best to keep it on plain.

So when trolling from a jet boat you have to be going about 50 MPH at least.

Which is good because there is less chance of being hit with a brick thrown by those who are sick and tired of sharing the river with what some people are calling recreation in nature.

My post was an observation. It wasnt meant for you to respond to.



But, since you did.



Jet boats dont belong in fly fishing areas eh?

Thats what your going with?


Define fly fishing areas?


Like, the Bow? Where hardware chuckers outnumber the fly anglers 2-1?

And who in this province has labeled it a fly fishing only river? FFC?




You have to share sir, its tough I know, but, its the way it has to be. Its Federal law and a navigable water and has been for centuries. When I jet, I have to share with other boaters, tubers, dog stick throwers, swimmers, hunters, other anglers, and wildlife. And I dont mind. When I pull out the drift boats, I have to share with other boaters, tubers, dog stick throwers, swimmers, hunters, other anglers, and wildlife. And I still dont mind! When I go canoeing or rafting, I have to share with other boaters, tubers, dog stick throwers, swimmers, hunters, other anglers, and wildlife.

Not only do i have to share, so does a couple million others in this province. You boys arent into sharing? Like everyone else? I feel pity for you all.

Part of my enjoyment of the outdoors is watching others enjoy the outdoors. Even if its a jet buzzing by me as i float in my drift boats. I give them room, its the law and courteous. We wave, we smile, i go on enjoying my day.


Thats reasonable, isnt it?

A million people in the area and i'm sure they have other waterborn interests apart from fly fishing in waders on the Bow river.


So, Fish_Fan, Niel, Duffy, its time to share boys!


So boys, lets try taking that medicine again. I know it tastes bad, but it will help and it does start to taste better as you accept its awfull taste.


Maybee we should petition that anglers in waders in the Bow and the Red Deer MUST wear orange warning vests while wading and have anchor lights for thier night times spent on the river. If we cant see you on navigable waters, dont blame us if we come somewhat close trying to avoid you.
