There is tons and tons of information regarding which yak to use in various situations and conditions, but if your seeking advice on which to try we would need a little more information:

Type of fishing
Height and weight
Desired fishing areas
Budget

And the single best thing recommended to me is try try try, there are plenty of shops that let you demo yaks out for such small fee if not free.

Either try a bunch out(Headwaters in Lodi, Adventure Sports Big Break in Oakley) or buy something dirt cheap that you know you can easily resell for more and find out what you really want after some seat time.

No, I don't think anybody here has any opinions on fishing kayaks...
I don't like stuff that sucks.
