I am sort of considering the 2 kayaks now: Stealth 12 and Cobra Fish n Dive.

I will mostly be fishing in mission bay and la jolla shores area. I also will hoop for lobsters. Is the Fish and Dive really that much slower? I see one for $400 and wondering if I should pick it up or wait for the Stealth 12.

This will be my first kayak, so is it okay for the Cobra? I'm not even sure how much I'll get into fishing, since I've never done it, but so far it seems interesting. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

I'm going on record as another vote for the Ocean Kayak Prowler/Trident. I've fished on a FnD and it is stable, but sloowwwwwww. On my Trident 13, I almost took a dive once. But my hoops were full of what felt like the entire ocean floor (probably a seal or something).

Buying a slow kayak is handicapping yourself IMO. You're going to want to go out further as you learn the ropes. A slow kayak will only make you tired quicker. Stealths aren't bad. There's a lot of people on here who use them. Nothing against them personally, I just think that Ocean Kayak makes a better product out of the three.

You mentioned you don't know how in to fishing you'll get... This is the only reason I'd get a FnD. Otherwise, get something better. Remember, this sport is a money hole. So regardless, you're going to throw money at it as you go along.
