While you can go off shore in a small yak you would be better off in a kayak better suited to the conditions. Launch conditions and fishing style will determine what is the best boat for the job, ie: - surf launches/landings and trolling for long distances, a fishing ski would be highly recommended but where the launch/landing is not through heavy surf and you are mixing trolling, lures and baits you can't go past a Hobie Adventure Island.
I mostly fish off shore in an Island but have taken my small 3 meter yak off around the headlands to see how it performed and found it to be less comfortable and more prone to pitching and rolling on the swell where the waves were being reflected off the rocks...
I don't fish your area and am therefore unfamiliar with the local conditions you will be facing and suggest you sit and watch what the regular, local guys a fishing from as that should show what works for your area...
