I would recommend a SOT, probably easier to deal with in the overall experience.
When I am looking to buy something, I always check e-bay first. I just did a search for fishing kayak and turned up several below your price range and located within driving distance to pick-up. It is now the offseason for small boat sales and is a good time to buy.
Buy a good paddle and a good pfd. You will be wearing the pfd everytime you go out so buy one that you find comfortable.

MrHunters, There's a great launch spot down the street from your place in Kettle Cove. Be happy to take you out this spring/summer :-)
Also, maybe a s-b kayak event would be fun this summer....

When I looked into this last year, it didn't seem worth the hassle (to be legal). For BFT, you need a recreational HMS Angling permit. Sounds cheap ($22) and easy but to get the permit, the MNFS requires either a state registration or coast guard documentation on the vessel. This generally requires red tape, such as a hull ID, and other BS which I've heard takes months.
I hope I'm wrong or the regs loosen up. Last years info is at http://www.nmfspermits.com/other/05ComplianceGuide.pdf
Rec info on Tuna is on page 26 & 27

Steelhead...there was talk last winter of a s-b kayak gathering. Quite a few guys on the site crept out of the woodworks with interest. Unfortunatly it didn't pan out. Would be fun though.

SOT vs SIK
Having fished from a SIK for the past five years, I have always had a great experience with it until one day last summer off of Gloucester. The waves were small but I was a bit overloaded - always try to travel light but not this time -- as I was trying to get into the kayak, I stumbled and then flipped the kayak, ruined and lost a number of items including a radio, a waterproof camera that decided it no longer wanted to be waterproof and several other small tool items.
The guys I was joining all had the SOT kayaks, they had a ton of stuff, were stable and seemed to be a lot more stable than my SIK.
That said, I am going to switch over to the SOT myself. Check out the newenglandkayakfishing web site, they should have some good photos of battlewagons and that will give you a good idea of what you are looking for.

Kayak fishing don't count
We are fishing almost every weekend in the summer. I had rigged kayaks at King Cove during both legs of the 4 leg tournament.
Kayak fishing is addicting when you can't cast to the blitz, paddle out and sit in the middle of one.

Thanks to the links and info posted I have taken the leap. Made a deal with DonM at King Cove for a Tarpon 140 by Wilderness. Water is still damn cold, so will take delivery in May most likely. (Kind of depends how much you guys at the RISSA show beat him up!) I'm very excited and had a very good experience with DonM getting this done. Very knowledgable for the application I was looking for. Made sure I considered the little things I hadn't yet, like was I lefty or righty for rod holder locations. If you are looking, contact him or see him at the show as he apparently has been selling his alloted hulls as quickly as they are scheduled for shipping! Can't wait for that first sleighride! Thanks Don.

Anyone who would like to try kayak fishing before they buy a kayak, give Don M. a call at King Cove. He's got rental kayaks ready rigged for fishing.
