The last I knew, Trexlers handled fishing license. Now as for fishing as was mentioned right around the LI bridge is an excellent place to start. The another good piece of advise is to just start talking to people. Although no angler is going to tell you where his "sweet spot" is, most I have found are willing to talk and give advice. And last find yourself a nice little row boat with a small motor and get out there and fish. (however in a small row boat the weekends aren't always recomendable).
