Between the Ocean or the KC, grab the Ocean. Before your purchase, contact your local dealer and attend a Demo Day. Paddle and stand in everything you can before buying.
I highly recommend a Hobie with the Mirage Drive. Fishing is soo much easier when your legs are keeping you moving and your hands are free to fish and adjust the rudder. I have a Outback and PA12, and could stand in either. To start off in the sport many have went with the Outback and never had any regret. It is very versatile and you can find used ones just over a grand.
Not to put one forum over another, but you may want to read up on the bckfc.org forum about kayak fishing. We can assist with any kayak related questions or take you out as a guest if you ask.
Good luck!!
