For lakes and rivers, I would look into something like a Tarpon 120. Very good kayak for what you are looking for....except the live well. But very few kayaks have a live well . You can always bring one and rig it in the back.

Good luck !

I agree msgdan. I would love to be able to afford even a used Hobie! Thanks for your input on the Malibu. I will definitely check out the Tarpon. Livewell is not that important. I can always tow along my minnow bucket or strap on my gallon herring livewell
