Hey /out/, I'm looking to get into kayaking but I'm not totally sure on what to buy, what's good and isn't good, etc. so I thought I'd make a thread and see if you guys could help me out.

Here's my tentative requirements:
>around $500
>can be used for fishing (rod holders are nice) and for camping (so needs decent amount of dry storage)
>preferably able to be used both in small creeks and in lakes
>prefer sit-on but sit-in isn't out of the question
>I'm 6' tall so I think a 12' one would probably be best
