>>2131235If you are mostly going solo, fishing kayak is a good option. Modern sit-on-top ones are really nice, even a dirt cheap one like a Tamarack. I take mine out lake trout fishing and it does pretty well. It's super stable, I have had it out in 25 mph wind (drifting back to the launch, not really possible to fish otherwise in that wind) and have never tipped or had any close calls. You cannot really comfortably fish in more than 10 mph wind, though, unless you are trolling or drifting. Only 50lb, too, so easy to transport. The main downside is that it's not particularly fast, I can effortlessly maintain 2.3 MPH and max out at maybe 3.5 MPH with no wind. I do not have much canoe experience, but generally I find they aren't worth it with just one person unless you need the cargo space plus the ability to portage easier. If you have the money, a large pedal kayak like a Hobie is an absolutely amazing little boat that can even handle ocean fishing without much trouble.
