What is a good fishing kayak for someone that is 6’5? Also are there any tandem fishing kayaks?

The places I would like to try and do some ocean fishing in the Volusia county, Florida area where the waves aren’t really that bad from what i hear. Also, something that wouldn’t be too much of a hassle if I would go by myself as well. I am new to the whole thing and any incite would be greatly appreciated. I plan on catch and release if that matters at all. The more basic the model ( i.e. cheaper) would be nice. Maybe something I can upgrade down the road as well if I get into it more.
I dont plan on going far out into ocean just to clarify most likely in the delta. Also I am set on kayak not canoe just for the fact easier to transport on top of my car, as well as easier for me to do solo.

lightweight

Canoe requirement: good quality up to 800

Inflatable raft/kayak/canoe for fishing. What is the best choice?

I am looking for an inflatable kayak/canoe/raft to use for fishing local rivers and lakes. I don’t have enough space for a hardshell, so I’ve been looking for inflatable dinghy type boats, but one that is elongated so I can paddle alone or with someone. Also, I want hard seats to sit on. I found a Saturn prototype on ebay, but have been unable to find a similar model. Price limit = $350. Help.
