for the money, the perception pescador would be a good choice ~$500.
you might also want to check out the new jackson cruise at ~$899.
there's lots of choices out there and if you have time check out an outfitter in your area. Most will have demo days where you can try out a few once it gets warm.
I'm not a big fan of what gets sold at the big box stores.
