Congrats on the Outback, I have the same kayak....nice and stable which is a bonus for newbies like us.

Okay, just my .02 cents, but before you head out, make sure you have the right clothes........I'd have that lined up first before you hit the surf and start fishing....being wet and cold is no fun bro'. Grab some waterproof, breathable pants and top. Chances are you will get wet heading out through the surf, once you are wet, it's hard to get dry out on the water..... I grabbed a Stohlquist splashtop, and some NRS Endurance pants and waterproof socks. The cheaper way would be just to get some breatheable waders, that way you are "waterproofed" from chest to toe at least when you take that first wave in the face. I would say clothes are probably very high on my list of important things to have on your checklist. They are often overlooked, but so very important.
