Re: can it be done
People fish off kayaks, canoes, jetskis, runabouts...heck, even a lot of debate about the "bank" being the best place.
The pros are obvious: you're on the water, fish are in the water, fish for them. As to the cons; stay away from the
grass flats because they can be the enemy to your jet motor, and, the jet isn't really ideal for trolling, so consider
a trolling motor. Having said all that, there are tons of "fish-n-ski" boats out there already set up to accomplish
your goal - a pleasure craft for momma and a fishing boat for day (or visa versa).
