You are aware that spammers generate random email addresses at known domain names?
i.e. They'll try every name they can think of @gmail.com in the hope that some of them are active valid email addresses.
That's why you got spam so quickly after opening your account. Even though you've never used or published your email address, you can't avoid this kind of spam!

They must really be after Gmail then because I don't get it to my Yahoo address.

An advice, if u make a long email name u wont get spam or at least not too much, If you open 2 accounts in the same day, 1 ex.
joe001@gmail.com and 2
joesantispamaccountnumber1@gmail.com the first account will get a lot more spam that the second account. I have a 3yrs old hotmail account (with a very long name) and ive NEVER recived a single spam mail. My others accounts (with short names) get more than 3 spam mails a day.

I think you are correct! I was thinking about that today. My Gmail email is a short pretty easy name so that is probably why I get more spam there. Thanks!
