Welcome aboard....first piece of advice is have fun and experiment.
There are many, many, many ways to be successful at fishing -- and no one way is foolproof. Start slowly and read up on some of the posts here. I have found some real good info on this board.
Depending on what species (and I assume you are looking for stripers), I would encourage you to eyeball whatever coastline you plan on fishing and look for structure, rips, currents and any other features that would make a good hole for stripers. Then plug away.....
enjoy
