Menards has one for 189, the only that makes the sit ins fishing yaks is usually just a rod holder.. cheap ones at dicks can b had for under 400.. a great fishing yak is a sit on top yak, but those usually start at over 500

For a nice sit in you are looking at $350-450. Lot's of options out there. Figure out what suites the water you fish and is comfortable for you. TRY IT OUT. Your also going to spend another hundred for paddle, lifevest, rigging and registration. Start saving dude!
Used is another option that can save you a lot of money, just make sure the boats in good shape and there is no excessive wear of the hull.
There's a ton of info out there, Google is your friend.

Ill be picking up an Ascend D10 at some point, Just havent had time. Its a sink but I already have a SOT so I might as well have a large SOT and a smaller SINK.
Check the ascends out. 299,399,499 are the prices between some pretty comparable yaks. The 499 is the fishing one but you can add a rod holder for $15.00.

Yeah I'd continue to check Craigslist and search a few areas around chicago or play the "I'm a poor kid" card straight out of a Charles Dickens book to organizations like:
http://www.kayakchicago.com/
http://www.wateriders.com/
http://chicagoriverpaddle.com/
http://www.urbankayaks.com/
Perhaps they have some used one's they'll sell/give you or can connect you with others who might be able to help... but don't tell them you need directions from Lake Forest If they take the bait.
