Q:
I'm looking into buying a sit-on-top kayak for coastal fishing, and hoping to spend around $500. Any suggestions for brands, gear, etc.?

Try E-bay, we got a 14 foot sit on top for 200 and it came with a seat, paddle ,and an anchor.
Make sure its stable for fishing....kayaks can be very unstable. Look for a used one.
First of all, sit-on-top kayaks are seriously fun to catch fish in, and infinitely worthwhile. I recommend Wilderness Systems 140 or 160. Get a second-hand kayak and get one as long as possible -- don't waste time with the little dinky ones that are hard to paddle. Get one at least 12 or 14 foot long, with a seat back built in. For 500 bucks, though, you ought to be able to find something. Fun fun.
ocean kayaks make great kayaks. the model "speck" is what we have. We use them for surf fishing and trout/redfishing
Ocean Kayaks its the best i have a SIdekick which I use to scuba diving and fishing It only cost me New arround 400 the kayak itself then you have to buy seat paddle PFD etc total arround 700 check this www.oceankayak.com
Agreed with texasfirst answer above and A + 1 for you!!!
