It wouldn't hurt to add more flotation to that Pungo. The stern hatch is your current flotation. Not a lot. You may want to secure some additional flotation in the cockpit. (empty tide bottles, Pool noodle etc.)
Purchase a kayak bilge pump. Cost less then 30 bucks. This will allow you to pump water out in the event of a capsize. Practice your self rescues in a protected area. It is not an easy thing to do in a SIK kayak but it must be practiced before venturing out. You may also want to look into a paddle foat to help with a re-entry. I choose the cowboy method for re-entry in a SIK kayak.
The Pungo 100 is a stable fishing platform. Perfect for back water and bay fishing. Great for paddlers under 210lbs. It can be taken out in the nasties but the 10' length is not too productive in chop and swells.
