The Pescador can’t be beat!
I recently purchased the Perception Pescador 12.0 ft from REI. This company was good to deal with in that I received my kayak in about 10 days with seamless delivery. The kayak is just what I was looking for. It tracks well and glides across the water. It is stable and is easy to get on and maneuver. I am 5’2 and 63 years old. Can I lift this kayak? No. Can I pull it into my boathouse? Yes. I live on a large lake and use my kayak for recreational use at least 2 hours daily during warmer weather. If you are looking for a sit-on top kayak for recreational purposes, this is a great one!
New design for 2018.
They've redesigned the boat. 2017 was a fantastic boat, this pescador is now 4.5 inches wider-- and as physics will dictate slower. Also it is harder for younger paddlers to handle the wider boat. They've even redesigned the back of the boat to no longer be streamline, and creates more turbulence. Look for a used '17, or a different brand.
Awesome Fishing Kayak
Kayak has performed awesome in rough weather. I was caught twice in 1 to 3 foot seas with wind 10-20 mph and it handled it no problem. Was able to catch stripers and blues that the guys from shore weren’t able to reach. I am 6 feet tall and 195 pounds and it is really comfortable for me. I have sat in it for 3-4 hours straight with no soreness. It is also light enough to load into the back of my pickup by myself and unload it after a day of fishing. The two things I recommend if you do purchase this kayak is do not use the pole holders that are behind the seats to hold any poles or nets even if you buy the extensions. The extensions were working fine till I hit rough weather then the net and the extension went for a swim. Which leads to my second recommendation, tie a leash to everything you want to keep. Seriously you will lose things at first. Besides that this thing is a beast.
Bought two....
Just bought two Perception Pescador 12.0 sit on top kayaks. I am very happy with them. They provide a stable platform for fishing, also when paddling swifter portions and small rapids (NOT "white water). They paddle easily through calm sections. Get long paddles. I prefer the 250's. Also have a Perception Pescador Pro 10 and a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 10.
Love my Pescador 12
Bought a new Pescador 12 from REI. It paddles exceptionally well. Tracks straight and is easy to paddle. The seat is very comfortable. I highly recommend this kayak
Fantastic Fishing Kayak
I have had my Pescador 12 for 8 years now and absolutely love it. It tracks straighter than four other brands I have paddled that my friends own. "Yellow Magic" is my yaks name and it is super stable, easy to transport, and fishes better than my Bass Tracker 175. This little boat is always ready to go catch some fish or explore an unknown part of the lake I live near or the multiple rivers I fish in East Texas. Handles rough water as well.
