All depends on what your doning with it. Fishing in the Ocean I would recomend a sit on top 14ft or better. I like Wilderness Systems, but I would recomend you try a few out and see/feel what fits you best.

Exactly as Cappucci stated, depends on what you want to do. I fished freshwater from a Sit In for about 4 years (and still do sometimes), but have only fished a SOT (sit on top) in the ocean.
I think SOT kayaks are much better suited for the ocean. More available room for storage, customization and I think a whole lot easier to fish out of. You don't have to worry about taking waves and then bailing out the water, it will flow right through the scuppers.
I bought a Ocean Kayak Trident 13 and love it.

good advice here. I would just go for a sit on top for the reasons JohnnyD mentioned. Before you buy however, you should really try to give a lot of brands a try and try a hobie (the pedal-drive kind) if you have the money (they are almost twice the price of the regular paddle ones). I have yet to try one because I'm afraid I would become obsessed and need to get one! I hear they are that good.
Still, if you don't want to spend a bunch and just want to get in the game, I would stick with the paddle type and look at Ocean Kayak, Wilderness Systems, and Heritage.

If you're close enough ????
The Kayak Centre in Wickford has a demo day shortly at Wickford Town Beach. They had 20 -30 canoes/kayaks to try when I was looking.
Give them a call.
