I had the same dreams you did. In practice it turned out quite differently.

I enjoy paddling out in my sit-in OldTown Vapor and jigging for panfish (think Crappie) as well as using small top waters for sunfish and bluegill.

A more serious type fishing is using a sit-on kayak simply to get to where you are going to fish either on the flats in the Gulf of Mexico or on sand/gravel bars in rivers. Once there I get off the kayak and stand to cast which gives me a little higher vantage point. This technique is great for white bass during the spring run as well as redfish in the gulf most times of the year.
