Kayak paddle advice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi all, I'm a newbie to kayak fishing and have occasionally lurked here. Never been on one yet but just purchased an Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 totally bare. I have to purchase a paddle so was wondering what everyone's advice might be. I'm looking at the Werner skagit 230 cm as my height is 5'8". Do you think it's worth paying to get the Carbon Fiber fin blades upgrade for the extra 40$? Planning on using the kayak to fish the bay's first and then hopefully venture out through the surf when I get more experience. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice and I've enjoyed reading all the reports on here of y'all catching those monster yt's, tuna, and wsb's over the last year!
