What type of water will you be on? It you are floating the flats I think your best bet would be a sit on top kayak.
a sit on top with at least some kind of storage, probably something around the 10 ft range and make sure it has a fishing pole holder
Some are modifying Jet Ski's for salt water fishing.

Plausible?
I've done some fresh water fishing from a three-seater SeaDoo. The kayak sounds like more fun.
Ocean Kayak malibu II is a really good stable fishing platform. It is a sit on top kayak that that has three seats which allows you to paddle by yourself from the center seat or take out a freind.
Thanks for all the input. I have it narrowed down to a 10 foot Pelican or a 12 foot Ascend. Which would be better for bays, marshes, and rivers. I know the 10 footer would be easier to haul but I also see the advantages of two extra feet.
