Some one mentioned a guide. Good advice to start.
Hire a guide, watch what they do, where they take you, watch the shore lines where they stop, what type of equipment they use, type of line, type of rig, etc. Ask questions, you’re paying them. Good guides will answer because they know you’ll be a return customer as long as he puts you on fish.
Lot of factors go into where to drop a line. Cloud cover, blue skies, time of day, season, wind, rain, water depth, underwater structure, type of fish you’re after, etc.
Water color can typically tell you what colors to throw.
Lunar calendars help in bite times. Some people think this is foolish, but there’s plenty of data to support it, imo. Some GPS watches(Garmin) offer this standard info.

But sometimes you get on fish and they’ll eat anything you throw. Sometimes you couldn’t feed them anything. That’s fishing.
Bass fishing go to’s: Texas rig, classic worms(artificial) or Yamamoto Senko’s.
