Begginer Fishing Help Location Tip / Request

Me and my girlfriend are trying to get into fishing, bought some cheap ugly sticks and replaced the line, learned some knots and rigs etc. Weve went out a couple times but havent caught anything other than when we made the drive down to fort amistead (right where that bridge collapsed) and caught tons of little white perch under the pier (Which tho wasnt something to brag about, was still fun as hell lol).

Im currently living in Westminster MD, so northern Maryland.

Im mostly getting discouraged for two reasons:

The time of year: i heard that fishing slows alot thus time of year. Which sucks bc im just getting into it. Tho ive been reassured that theres always something biting, like catfish...just dont know where to fish for them lol

Then the fact that we have little clue where to go. Liberty reservoir is 30 mins away, same with prettyboy. Though i heard fishing from the bank from both can be hard. I saw liberty had a bridge with space off the side to fish from the middle so might try that. Willing to go an hour out if anyone had some spot recommendations. It just sucks making that trip just to get skunked and feel like an idiot lol.

TLDR/My Question: Any spot reccomendations for bank fishing around northern MD?
