I sold my old tandem perception kayak for $300 today. I'm going to use that money to buy a single kayak. I was looking at the Future Beach Kayaks at dicks. They have two fishing kayaks. A smaller sit in and a longer sit on in my price range. However once I found out that they also sell them in Toys R Us I am questioning how good those kayaks really are. I would like to know who makes a good kayak and what model is designed for fishing.

heritage redfish 12 or 14 ocean kayak prowler 13.Or you could go nuts and get a hobie with mirage pedal drive 8-) go to kayak fishing stuff.com they have most of the good brands.I would stay away from dicks kayaks,kinda poor quality

Don't get hung up on a kayak specifically for fishing buy one you like and rig it the way you want and try to demo before you buy.

i fish from a kayak.  i bought the manatee deluxe fishing package from ll bean and i love it so far.  has 2 trolling rod holders, a front rod holder, a paddle holder, a storage hatch, and a anchor check out there site.

That Mantee Delux kayak looks real nice and in my price range too.

My only problem with it is that it does not look like it has enough storage. However it does include a cover, paddle, anchor, and a front rod holder. I'm going to consider that kayak.

how much storage do you need?  the cockpit is pretty big compared to other kayaks, and i just leave my tackle bag right in front of me and a water container right behind my seat which i can easily reach, i think it even has a cup holder attached but my water container is almost a whole gallon.

Here's mine, a Prowler Big Game.  Paddles like a sheet of plywood, but fishes like a Lund.

I have a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 and I've been extremely satisfied with it.  Fast, stable and plenty of storage.
