Actually the Hobie double seater paddle kayak is nowhere near $3000.00. More like $1650.00 with seats and paddles!

Check this puppy out:

Has a built in rod holder/trolling rig, tackle box, 'fish lifter' for dragging in a bigun', and all the regular accoutrements like hatches, seat, straps, etc.
There is plenty of kayaks on the market now designed specifically for the angler with similar gear to the one above. If you're in the Brisbane area, drop in at Goodtime at the Gabba, they have heaps of models. I bought my sit on top one there, and haven't looked back. It may be slightly less comfortable than a sit in, but can go just about anywhere, through rough surf to the shallowest, narrowest estuaries. Better than a boat at times.
Kayak sot if only because you can easily load and unload by yourself. I've just got a good second hand Cobra partially set up for fishing and once I got the roof racks, pfd, leashes ect it came to around a grand all up. Check out akff for good advice which will help you miss some of the less obvious mistakes when getting started.
mate just bought a hoby from up the sunny coast.....the fisherman equivilant cost him just under 3 grand.
What a couple of blokes pulled in on a particularly productive outing on their surfskis.
This is the North East coast in sunny South Africa.
