Where to start? Noob looking for advise, haven't fished in over a decade.

Questions

I haven't fished in probably over a decade and wanted to get back into it. Even back then, it was amateur level fishing at best. Bobber and earth worms haha.

I was interested in fishing some piers/rocks on lake Michigan to start.

Are there any guides or best practices out there to read up on? Best equipment to use, types of bait, etc? I'll be honest I don't even know where to start.

I would love to catch some salmon/trout to toss it on the smoker.

I'll also have to get a fishing license, so i'll start there. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated.
