yea you should definitly consider it, I have some experience w/ kayak fishing.I recommend getting a two seater sit on top ocean kayak, I have tried the one person ones and they work, but there more tipsy and have less room for gear, I keep my pole and tackle where the other person would sit. the two person ones are more stable, you can move around and not worry about tipping. I have caught srtiper and blues to 20 lbs and lots of spanish macs and never had a problem getting dragged around, or landing the fish.In Fl. I would imagine you could have success w/ spanish macs and kings and other inshore species. If your into fishing its worth the investment.
