Hey there partner, you can get your liscence right here, online. Here's the link:

Right around that time of year, you should be seeing plenty of action along the coast. Fishing piers and beach fishing should be pretty good. Just your standard two hook drop rig that you can purchase in any coastal tackle store will work just fine. For inshore fishing, pieces of shrimp, cut Pogeys or mullet, and squid seem to be about as good as it gets.
As for equipment, you'll probably want something that will hold around 200 yards of 20 pound test line. That should be OK for what ever you would encounter. I'd say a 7' medium action rod and maybe a spinning reel if you're not acustom to a baitcasting reel. You'll probably want 3 to 4 oz pyramid sinkers if you're going to be fishing close to the breakers. A #2 hook should be fairly universal. [cool]
