There are so many fishing kayaks on the market now. I would find someone who either fishes from a kayak or a knowledgable sales guy on the subject. I have the Old Town Otter with the rodholder accessory. It is important to get one with a wide flat bottom with some degree of ceel because when baddling that is what keeps you on track without the boat trying to circle like the whitewater kayaks. The wider bottom will give you more stability. It is also important to get foot braces so you can put power on your paddles, if needed, by bracing your feet. I enjoy fishing from a kayak because you can be quiet and get into places a bigger boat can't. From ten years ago the price has dropped on kayaks...thank goodness, so you should pick out a really nice kayak that suit your needs at a resonable price.
