The Dagger doesn't look to me like it would be a great platform for fishing, but if you're going to paddle any distance, the skeg (which the Pungo doesn't have) should give you a lot more directional stability, and being narrower, it should be easier to paddle.
I paddled a fat boat quite a distance and got tired of banging my thumbs on the sides - you should paddle both of the boats before buying one.
Good luck - I wish I was buying one.
