I might just go to Dick's and get a new Field and Stream Fish Eagle 120, but I'm fine buying used, and I might end up with a better kayak that way.

Let me know what you have.
Thanks,
Gabe

How much do you weigh? As long as you're under 220 or so I'd grab this boat over the F&S in a heartbeat. The F&S is a horrible paddling boat and although it will get you on the water there is a huge difference between it and a proper kayak. The Pescador is a rebadged Tarpon and will let you hit all the waters of the NW, it's a great boat, especially considering the price.

I agree, Pescador is a great kayak for the money!

My wife has the little brother (Pescador 10) and it's a great kayak, I can only imagine the 12 would paddle even better. Best of luck getting a hold of that one!

I agree, the pescador 12 is a great boat so far.  I have that same one as pictured and have gone bass fishing, rock fishing, crabbing and lots of big lake paddling so far and it has performed great.  My friend has a f&s and the pescador is just as stable  and much much better to paddle

I got it!  Purchased the Pescador.  Been out in it twice already.  So easy to paddle.
