MOKAI - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Handymansd · 01-13-2008, 08:26 PM

I talked to the MOKAI people the other day to see if there is any way to get a hold of a MOKAI that I could inspect to see the practicality of converting it into a fishing machine. They are a factory direct company, which means it is very difficult for them to get their product name out there which in turn means it is hard to get one to "demo" or even see. I asked if they would consider a booth at the Long Beach Fred Hall this year and they said it was possible if they had enough interest, but they thought that their interests should go to Texas.

Is anyone here even semi-seriously interested in the MOKAI as a fishing platform?

keep an eye on craigslist. i've seen two since summer. last one was a guy in la mesa in sept for $1500 w/trailer.

Throw a baittank in there, rod holders, storage for fishing gear, the necessary cup holder (haha!), and then cut price in half-- I'd buy one!

One could self-mothership with one of those...

I think if you are going to fish out of a small boat, you may as well get a tin can or a zodiac instead. Just my thoughts.

Ugh.

That thing is interesting but it doesn't strike me as appropriate for big open water or surf. But who knows, once the MLPA shuts down LJ it might be just the ticket.

That thing would be kewl...if it did 100mph.

Not much of a chance of injury or death with a top speed of 15mph.
