Welcome to the board, there are a couple of places to look for your information. . . First, here on the board, go to the top of any page and click on "Forums". A long list of topics will pop out of the screen. Scroll down the list a long way till you reach a category of "Regional travel" under that topic, scroll down to "United States", and look for clubs or topics for your area of the country. When you find divers in your area, they may be able to answer your question of what and where you can go.
Also, most states have the fishing and hunting regulations on a state website. . . some states call it a wildlife dept, some states get cute and call it by another name. But you should be able to get the statewide regulations, and many states will let you buy a fishing license online.
