RJ, Hit up OEX and other shops, they have loaners to try. Try a few, your height n weight might come into play for comfort and workability. Once you decide on the yak, then you can figure out the bells and whistles. I have 2 Ocean Prowler 15's, and a Hobie 14' Mirage drive. If you want to sample these, let me know. I live in Chula Vista and can meet you on SD Bay to give em a shot. Let me know, Tom

Welcome to BWE. OEX will help you pick a kayak out. Don't for get to get a good pfd and something to pump out the water from your Yak. Safety first. What is your price range and what area are you going to fish

save your money and invest it in a quality product. Whats your price range and what do you plan on targeting? Lakes, bays, beach launches etc.. If you give some more info we can steer you in the right direction

Yes some kayaks do leak a little bit, but I always have it for emergencies. Like a shark bites your kayak and you start taking on water or something ha. You wanna have a way to get the water out some guys have bilge pumps but a handpump should be ok

Welcome to the crew, just sit back relax and read up on some of the great info that has been posted here, lots of ideas and opinions, but lots of great stuff to get you informed, and yes go try out some different yaks at OEX, you can demo different models and styles, good luck and have fun
