A lot depends on your height and weight, as well as where you'll primarily be fishing. Also are you looking for a sit in or sit on top? Also your budget

Look on Facebook marketplace. I know I say this to everyone that posts on here but don’t make the mistake of buying a kayak you won’t like. You should really try a cheap kayak so you know what you want in a fishing kayak. I bought a $800 kayak and I hated it. Just bought different one off of Facebook for $600. I love the kayak o bought off marketplace and I wish I didn’t spend $800 2 years ago just to get a new kayak

Just my opinion...I'd get a sit on top. I have an Old Town Dirigo fishing kayak that's a sit in and it's a nightmare to try to work lures out of.
The rod butt is always hitting the the sides of the kayak. I fished on a buddy's sit on kayak and it's a night and day difference and way more comfortable

Depends on what you are after and where you are located as well as the waters you are fishing. I have the SS127 Bonafide, sit on top, stand able, got to be stupid to flip it, good storage, fantastic warranty just a little pricey.
So give some more info and others as well will be able to advise more.

Here’s my BKC RA 220. You can slip a Keeper Sturgeon Tail First into the Below Deck Storage Area through the middle rectangle shaped Storage Hatch in front of the seat. This was my Main Reason l bought this 11’6” foot Model. The Yellow Anti Flip Over Assist Bouys double as Quick Release Emergency Anchor Bouys.

Once you determine what you want, check craigslist for listings. I was able to purchase a 12 ft Native Manta Ray for $250, which was a GREAT savings over the cost of a new kayak.

I fish in the ocean in So Cal and have a Hobie Outback. I am 6'1" and weigh 230. It has been a great kayak for me with its stability and sturdiness. And the Mirage drive gives me handsfree fishing and i can go farther.
