Kayaks aren't really that enjoyable for me to fish out of. Sure they are fun for Kayaking and paddling around, but I like to be able to walk around a bit and carry more stuff with me. An aluminum Jon boat with a decent motor does the job in most cases. The wider you can afford, the better. Adds some stability and gives you some room to carry gear and friends along. Plus you can customize them as you please.
If you can afford it, get an all welded one with .100 or better hull.
I do not personally own one, but for the money, Weld-Craft makes appears to make a pretty decent boat.
