Beginner Kayak Fishing

Help for a Kayak Beginner?
I would like to start kayaking. I mostly would like to kayak on still lakes and down slow moving rivers. I live in michigan so the weather is always changing.
What is a good beginners kayak I would like to spend under $500 if that’s possible. Is sit on the best bet or sit in. i’m 5′3 125lbs. So something I could easily move not too heavy and I dont want an inflatable. No whitewater for now, just take in scenic views and fishing. I would be kayaking by myself , i don’t want to join a club, is kayaking by yourself not recommended?
Hi with the type of Kayaking your planning, and your size You can get the basic Kayak, A 10-12 ft. poly boat from a sport shop, get a good paddle to go with it, and by all means PFD. Have you considered a used boat? Look on Paddling.net, there are always boats in your area for sale. They buddy system is always preferable but, IT’s always better on the water than on the bank wishing. I’d rather be on the water than waiting on someone else to show or make time, lot’s go it alone.
