To Sail or Not to Sail - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wanted to get opinions on wether or not to and a sail to my fishing kayak. I have done quite a bit of research and watched several videos on youtube of fishing kayaks with sails added. I just dont know if i should add one. I know the hobie adventure islands have sails and that most hobie's have the option to add a sail. I have been looking into adding the kayak V sail to my cobra. Has anyone on this forum used a V sail. There are videos on youtube of the V sail being used to tack up wind and to reach running perpendicular to the wind without the use of out riggers only using lee boards.

Any suggestions, opinions, or personal experiance would be apreciated thanks.
