first salt water kayak
 

Looking for a kayak to fish and snorkel off the riggs down her in south Texas. I'm a life long fisherman but I'm very new to this offshore kayak thing

just need some tips as far as what I should be looking for

Check out the Wilder Systems Tarpon 140 and Ride 135, also the Ocean Kayak Trident 13. Find a place that sells and rents kayaks. Take them out and test paddle your choices and try getting in and out of it to see which best suits your needs. Since you planning on diving from it, make sure you try getting in and out of them an the water before you purchase. Some kayaks are easier than others when it comes to that.
