<p>Last year my wife and I rented a couple of SOT kayaks and used them to paddle around our local lake. We enjoyed it so much we have decided to purchase our own this year.
We are looking at some entry level kayaks to use at the lakes and rivers here in Illinois. 
I am also an avid fisherman and I would like to get a fishing kayak but I don't know if there is a difference, performance wise, between a fishing kayak and a touring/recreational kayak. I don't want to struggle to keep up with my wife if we decide to kayak for 4 to 5 hours on a river or lake.
Would I be able to use a fishing kayak like a regular touring/recreation kayak?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
