I am looking for a beginner kayak for river and lake fishing. Something stable that my small (15lbs) dog can ride on in the front. I am not ready for the ocean.

Cash works for me.

I've had lots of good times with my Scrambler XT on rivers and lakes.  It can do the ocean too but it's a mid sized yak.  Best of luck~  :smt001

pick up something from a demo/rental fleet at the end of this season.  any and all rental shops will be selling.
the demo/rental yaks are usually stripped down, stable and no frills.  b/c they have to be, right?

if you wanted to splurge get a hobie, with no mirage drive.  anterior drivewell is the perfect little nesting area for Ol' Spot.

I am selling my 2009 wilderness t120 . $600 gets it. It is a great starter boat perfect for lakes and rivers. Check my post for pics.

I should add that my first fishng kayak was a Tarpon 120. I still have it and it does everything for me except rough condition ocean water. I am upgrading to a Kayak better suited to rougher conditions. I will still use my 120 in smaller water. It is a great kayak. Ready to fish and easy to customize as your addiction grows.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.  ~John Buchan
