Could you use it for those short distant casual fishing days on fair weather days? Absolutely you could.
I think, however, over the long run a thicker/sturdier inflatable (with a drop in floor and solid transom will make more sense over the years. I'd say keep your eye on some used quality boats that are bit more along those lines and you will be happier in the long run.
I recently saw a Zodiac (10ft) on sale, used, but looked to be pretty decent for $500 .... wood floor, wood transom and wood slat seats - which stiffens up the boat and makes it capable of use with a small gas outboard.
