The Hobie looks like it might hang up in this type of water or Im i missing something.
Ya, thats true. The Hobies are not the perfect choice for skinny water, or areas with lots of vegetation. However, you will always have a paddle with a Hobie, and you can just pull out the mirage drive and paddle when you get into the areas you described. That's what most guys do down here when fishing the kelp beds. Hobie's are great for covering distance, long fishing days, and the ability to move while fishing.

As suggested above, the Stealth might fit the bill of what you are looking for. Live bait, stable, and a quality made kayak. The other suggestions of test driving a few are also good. Good luck in your search.
