Matt,
welcome to the site. I think if you use the search function it might give you a good, if basic, idea of the area and where people fish. What species are you targetting? What sort of fishing do you like doing? The colder months are normally fairly good for bream most places. There's been plenty of questions asked about this area and using search might give you a good starting point. From there you might be able to get a bit more detailed information on this thread by asking a few more specific questions. Good luck, it's great to see you putting some prep in this early!
Joel
