You can go fishing for bluegill from a shoreline or a public pier. All you need is an ultralight rod, a bobber, some number 6 to 8 hooks, and some bait, like worms or crickets.
You can get out there and go fishing for largemouth bass using a medium weight spinning rod and reel combo, some offset worm hooks, and some soft plastic worms.
And, once you've landed those first few catches, make sure you practice proper catch and release techniques. Keep the fish in the water as long as possible, you want to hold the fish with wet bare hands, and then, of course, revive the fish before gently releasing it back into the water.
