Not to continue the point, but isn’t JimIslander a geographic reference?
As far as the fish, I’m sure time and patience and it will all work out.

Glen,
Wow, if your “attitude” were gas, I’d be able to travel to the entire ICW on a single tank! LMAO!
If you haven’t figured it out yet, Southern folks–like folks from any other geographic areas–like to kid around and have fun. Perhaps your bashing of southern culture isn’t a way to make new friends as well. Instead of being antagonistic with every comment made and trying to prove your “right” about all aspects of watercraft and how people fish here, it may prove to be more constructive in building a network of fishing friends to hear what people are saying. It would also help to learn how to be teased…and tease back with folks. If you purposefully choose the handle “NYallKer”, it is obvious you were willing to tease other about your origins and that you are now living in the South. So when someone from down South takes your “bait”, be happy that you caught something and learn to laugh about it.
As you have noticed people on the board are more than happy to assist. Perhaps you’ll learn some new ways to fish as well as how to socialize here in the Lowcountry.
My preferance would always be with a boat simply because with my arthurtis, it simply affords me ample space for the resources I choose to utilzie when fishing and allows me ease to get to materials. Liek others here, I have encountered jerk on both jet skies and in boats (and in cars on the 526 and 26). Idiots don’t have an exclusive mode of travel~~~LOL!
By the way, as to your dissagreement about noise levels, perhaps you should check into your facts as well: Bluewater Network, an EPA affliciate that deal with enviromental issues associated with water craft, recently published a report that clearly shows little differances in the DB rating between boats and ski jets.
Typical PWCs produce the following sound levels at 25 meters (82 feet):
Idle: 74-85 decibels
5,000 RPM: 91-100 decibels
Full Throttle: 100-105 decibles
On the other hand, typical 2 stroke 115 boat motors produced the following sounds levels at 82 feet
I must be doing something wrong cause I ain’t caught one shark yet!! LOL!
By the way, the DB reading on 115 boat motors at the IDLE level should have read 76-89. My bad!
What’s bad is that we can’t rake off two little fillets before throwing them back in. They make a tasty fish fry. Or at least did… I remember Dad would quit fishing and would take over the filleting and laugh like crazy as me and my brother would put them on the dock. After about 20 or so he would say that’s enough… Let’s go fry them.
Today shark’s are so endangered the man would string you up by the short hairs if you did that. 
Didn’t go this year but last year, but we had one pull that produced four in the chum bag while cobia fishing. Greedy little rascles.
< Evil is simply the absence of God >
i may be wrong on this… but jet skis/waverunners draw over a foot of water at idle which makes them not so desirable for fishing around here and that we typically have muddy/ sandy bottom that waverunners will suck right into the impeller.
was told by a friend (with a waverunner) that you are really not supposed to run them in less than 3’ of water around here to prevent sucking that stuff up.
Your points are well taken on the noise.
I totally agree the db of a ski and a boat is negligible so it should not have been a point of contention in my question.
As far as attitude, please take just 30 seconds and read the first few posts. I was talking about fishing. Only mentioned the ski because it was nimble and able to get in alot of areas. I described the tide, bait, area, etc. I asked about FISHING.
Read the replies, this wasn’t light hearted teasing.
First post: Sell the ski because he don’t like them.
Second post: Its because I’m from NY AND on a ski.
yada yada
Truly read em,.
I asked about fishing for reds and got NY/ski slammed instead.
Didn’t seem light hearted to me…
Kidding is stuff like being named the official linguist for the Old south Marlin Club, (which I am).
NYallker signifies NYer in the south for 20+ years.
Anyway, no problem on my end!
it’s all in good fun, I hope.

Now y’al
I seen some yankees fishin the other day and they were killin the fish in the IOP area. They had on swimmies getting real shallow though.
You sure do know alot about fishing and the water to be asking all these questions. After all your winning do you think your going to get a good old southern fisherman to show you how to catch fish in his waters???
I tell ya what, do like everyone else has done. Get on the water, have fun, pay attention, and connect the dots as they develop. If I see you on the water I will come say hello and see how your doing, “check up on you” as they say. May show you a few tricks if your nice.

Keep smiling, be nice and y’all get losts of good information!
You have to excuse them here in SC. Having been raised in the south and having lived in several southern states, I can say without a doubt people here are just different. Don’t worry about it. Nothing but another 100 years or so will bring them into the present.
Lastly, I have been reading posts here for 5 years and there are some very good people on this site. Unfortunately there are more knuckle heads on here by far. That is why I almost never post anything.
