Aim for fish you can catch in bays and estuary until you got your boat handling down pat and understand conditions. 2-5kg 2500 reel will catch you most things in bays.
I was on a woolworths plan for $29 for $500 in calls and text and 5gig. Best part was it lasted for 45 days. Taken over by Optus now who are abiding by the deal.
I picked up a nice 32cm bream on the sand flats near ballast heap with others on the verge of legal released. Re rigging and watching a roughly 50cm flatty swim buy was frustrating with nothing in the water to tempt it.
