New here - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi all, great site!

I am looking into kayak fishing as it seems like a good way to get out on the water and catch a variety of different fish. I am in San Diego and want to get an entry level kayak to maybe catch some rockfish or maybe some spotted bay bass.

I was looking into getting a used tandem off of craigslist because I'd also like to be able to use the kayak to take my girlfriend out around la jolla to see the sea life.

I've found a few of these

For good deals but is it a good platform to be able to fish off of? I would be going fishing solo, would the weight distribution be an issue? Again I'm a novice fisherman and I can't afford a huge budget for a kayak. Any advice on that particular model? I'd like to eventually get comfortable enough to go for some bigger fish, would this kayak limit me in that respect?
