Just as the title says how stabel are kayaks for fishing.

and would ya recomend if i get one to just go out and paddle till i get used to it
 
You are far better off trying before buying as what suits one person will not suit another. There are some cheapos out there that are not fit for purpose, far better pay a little extra and get something that you are happy with.
Best bit of advice I could give you is do your research.If you are thinking about taking kayaking up you will need safety gear...PFD, compass / GPS, drysuit/wetsuit and a radio for starters.
Good luck.
 
I've got the ocean kayak trident 13, it's a very stable boat I can manage to sit sideways or even stand up on flat days,they are surprisingly stable I've had mine for a year now and have never fell off yet!,dave

There are several makes and models of kayaks available which are really stable. It largely depends on your height, weight and skill level that decides on if you get tipped out or not. The weather conditions also have a major influence.

Yes, practice first if you get one and when confident then try fishing. I would recommend joining a kayak fishing website like Kayak Fishing UK where you will pick up lots on information and good free advice.

If you are interested in a very stable yak then this would be a one to consider.
