If it floats it'll help you catch fish. For all around fishing in this area a 12' SOT is hard to beat. It's small enough to still fish small waters and can be put on a cart and wheeled into a remote location but it will also handle large impoundments and saltwater.

At this time of year there's some terrific buys available so you can often get more kayak than you thought. I know a place that has a few models clearing out at cost.
