Does anyone out there have any input on the Pescador Pro (11.5') model from Perception Kayaks?
Looking to fish mainly freshwater maybe calm salt water bays Puget Sound.
 Any input is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance...
When the lakes and rivers are full the trout will walk the earth.

The newer version is a 12' kayak. I don't know if you are looking at an older model or the new one. The newer one is very well built. It has no inside store with the exception of a little cat hatch behind the seat. The seat is ok too, but the material seemed a little thin when I checked it out. I have never paddled it, but is roughly modeled after a Tarpon hull. At $800 or so you might want to look at a Tarpon 120 too. Not much more and you have better storage. My .02. It rally is not bad for the price.

I have the Pescador Pro 120. It's very stable and comfortable. I had my buddy 6'5 225 use it on opening day down here in Santa Cruz and he liked it.

I can't speak for the pro version, but I have a Perception Pescador 12'. It's my first kayak and I absolutely love it. Feels great to me. I really liked the pro versions, but it was out of my budget and I ended up wanting a front hatch for storage.

I used to live close to the Factory in South Carolina, they build decent boats.
