Most modern sailboats are not designed for fishing. You will probably find
them not very comfortable or convenient. Back in the days when small
sailboats were used for coastal fishing they were heavier and more stable
with a interior layout for fishing. I'd search the Interent and books at
the public library for descriptions of these fishing boats before deciding
which plans avaiable now are most suitable. Today you could build a
lighter, faster sailboat with a good interior layout for fishing. When
people used to fish along the shore from rowboats and sailboats they
depended a lot on the tide to carry them out and back. Sailboats are slow
and weak compared to even small outboard motors.
