I don't have the biggest budget ($250-$350) and I'm not expecting anything special for that price, would something like this suffice for fishing and the occasional leisure session?

If any of you guys have any better suggestions id be more than happy to listen, along with any general tips of the area!

Hopefully I'll see some of you guys out there soon! Thanks

Welcome Sir g!

I moved over from London last year. Nice change in weather hey?

I can make you a deal on a Bass Pro FS12T. It is a very stable yak but not especially fast, you can stand up in it though and it has a great seat. It is not quite a year old.

Where in OC are you? Find some other kayakers nearby and it may help get you set up

Didn't realize the British expats on here. I came over when I was 2. Family is from Blackpool, kinda like the Venice Beach of England. Yeah, we aren't the classy Brits.

here are three pictures of the yak, it is on a trailer parked next to some roses but it gives you an idea about what you are looking at
