Another newbie!

G'day everyone,
I'm Ewen, and I'm a complete newb to both kayaking and salt water fishing.
I've just recently purchased what I think was the best value for money yak that I could afford (hobbies ect are worth more than my car) I ended up with a Nextgen 10 from an internet vendor. It's not the greatest but it gets me out on the water so I'll make do for the time being . It has the elevated seat, retractable rudder, and track system as standard. I've been slowly collecting bits and pieces anchor and trolley making leashes ect ect .
I took it out for the first time last week and landed a small salmon on a gold lure ( my first fish on a lure- in a yak and with new rod)
Previously I'd only every fished the Murray and Eildon other than taking the kids to the peir once or twice ..
I'm based in blindbight but the old man is in Rawson so I'll be hitting Blue Rock as the weather gets better .
I'll be asking questions along the way especially regarding lures and rod/reel types as I have no idea.
I'm always up for an adventure so if anyone is planning one and might suit me please hit me up ..
Cheers E..
