What I went with was a kayak that was billed as a 'fishing' kayak. It's a little wider and more stable, mine has a concave bottom which also increases stability. It's not as fast as some other kayaks but I've been in some pretty rough water with it and felt pretty safe. One nice thing is the portability. One of my favorite lakes has no boat landing but I can just carry my kayak in and launch from the shore. It's nice when you don't have to compete with dozens of other boats.
Sounds a lot like the yaks we've been looking at. I prefer avoiding the crowds and like to hit the smaller ponds/creeks/rivers, etc...a yak should be just the ticket!
