Old town fishing kayaks are stable and heavy (that's a point to consider in transporting roof top or to/from put in). I had the predator double with a single seat for bay and lake fishing. Wide kayak, tracked well, but heavy.

Settled on the Dick's brand old town single fishing kayak. It has places to install rod holders on both sides, a single anchor pulley system you need to rig front and back (it does make a difference to anchor bow or stern on based on the wind and tide when your out. It doesn't track as well as some based on the fixed seat and weight balance in the hull.



The ocean kayaks are great, expensive.

You really need to sit in a couple. Both the kayak and sit on top. The sit on top is too high off the water for my preference.
