will a polyester fiberglass stick to the plastic most kayaks are made of?
If not ,any suggestions, I'm building a permanent lock boxl for my keys etc.

You could probably find a Pelican type case that has a spot for a padlock. You could bolt or rivet it down and use some goop for a good seal.

3M 5200 (especially slow cure) and also West Systems G-Flex do pretty good.

Marine goop is ok temp sealer but will come off at some point.
5200 n g flex epoxy will work well if rough up surface.
Nvr heard of ne one trying to glass onto yak.

I would recommend fasteners rather than adhesive for you purposes
Some a hole wud b tempted to pry open adhered lock box ruining ur gear

I'd say something like this with the cable wrapped around your scupper;

While on the water, keep it in one of these;

Or you could just keep everything with you...
