There are few times that I miss my boat but it is only because of the water I can cover throughout the day.
My new kayak is a Jackson Kracken and it has been nothing short of amazing.
it does come with a price tag but it weighs less than 80lbs, it is 13.5 feet long so it glides nicely when paddles and it tracks very well (not the best for tight places) and i feel confident standing. It is pretty stable for a open water kayak and also has a scupper hole designed for a transducer.....I mounted recently.

IN the springtime the kayak is perfect to go find bedding fish in shallow water, they are stealthier than a boat and if you can stand then getting dang near on top of the fish is possible.
windy days will most likely be your biggest adjustment when fishing but patience and time on the water you will get the hang of it.
