There are lots to choose from.....depends a lot on where you want to fish, if you want to paddle or peddle, and of course your budget. If you're planning on ocean fishing, the ocean prowler in your list is a good choice....and you could use it anywhere. Freshwater, and a lot less money, I like the Ascend FS12T. Very stable, comfortable seating, and lots of space. Not the fastest boat in the world, but are you fishing or drag racing???

I personally would stay away from any boat less than 12'. You start losing stability with the short boats, and even a 12' fills up fast when you start putting tackle, fish bag, cooler, etc in it.

Search "yak motley" on YouTube. That guy does a lot of great informational videos on kayak fishing.

It all boils down to personal preference. Every boat or kayak, fishing lure maker or rod and reel maker will claim to have the "best" product. You need to consider what your doing with it and the primary use of it. If your looking for an all around good yak for everything you wont find one. HOWEVER, you can make one! You can get just about anything you want for a kayak. That being said, the main thing is to find one with the room you will need for the primary fishing you will be doing such as for bait/fish coolers, gear storage etc. Once you find a hull that fits your needs you can customize it to fit your needs like adding more rod holders, more compartments, depth finders etc. This is one of those subjects where asking which boat is best is like asking which fishing lure is best...everyone has there favorite and they are all different. Doesent mean any one person is wrong, it just mean that lure fits there fishing preference better than others. Same with your kayak search

Hobie for saltwater, and native for fresh. 14 footer. The hobie drive is essential for keeping your hands free for fishing.
