I think the best opportunity to groom a youngster into the sport of kayak fishing is by the use of the tandem.
One suggestion for a tandem would be Ocean Kayak's Malibu II. A Stable and reliable fishing platform with built in scupper drains. The Malibu is not a speedster, it's built with stability in mind for two paddlers. If you do choose a tandem kayak I would definitely purchase one with a rudder. It would make paddling and fishing smoother.
