Good idea to rent some to get a feel. The Hobies with the propulsion system look nice. One thing about sit on kayaks is you want to get one with a decent keel. Otherwise you'll be blown all around. That one you posted didn't seem to have much of one. I think looking into a cheap aluminum V hull mentioned before might be a really good option for fishing. I had a sit on top kayak for years, and it was loads of fun, but I never used it for fishing. I paddled around in the ocean and rode waves (a real blast) with it. I bought mine from good ole Costco with the accessories being extra. One benefit of mine was that it fit nicely into my (at the time) Ford van.
