You might have to raft up with another boat to get enough stability. Amazingly, this information has not made it to the ACA's "Bad Buzz" page (http://www.acanet.org/hostilewaters.htm).

I was out practicing with my harpoon after work tonight, and the locals got a little concerned (P.C.

A few years ago one of the Flyfishing magazines featured a full page advertisement from one of the high end fly rod makers. The picture show a fisherman whose line was attached to the rider of a jet ski, or to be more accurate, a rider that was in the process of becoming detached from the jet ski. The caption at the bottom read: "Incredible lifting power". *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

My thoughts exactly. I was out practicing with my harpoon after work tonight, and the locals got a little concerned (P.C. Stuff -- playing with "weapons") until I told them it was for jetskis --- now I'm one popular guy on the lake! Wayne Has anyone else seen the T-shirts from Superior Kayaks of Whitelaw, Wisconsin? On the front is says "Superior Traditions" and shows a kayaker [Inuit style] aiming a harpoon at a jetski. The back says "Superior Kayaks" and shows the jetski impaled by the harpoon with the jetskier swimming away. I have two - long sleeve and short sleeve. A favorite, needless to say!

Those big guys on yachts have tried small self-guided missile (bought cheap in a local military surplus store); first attempt was a success. Second one failed because a crew member began celebrating too soon after launch, and has lit his cigarette; it was a heat-guided missile, you know :-)... Man can't go wrong with a harpoon.

A harpoon with an explosive tip would be even more effective. Then, you get a "kill" no matter what part of the beast you hit. -- I've read some very interesting report in a yachting magazine last year.
