klbpu, welcome to the web site. I agree with you, soooo much to learn and so little time. You said new to both boating and fishing.

I would start with the boating side. Like maybe take a safe boating course with your significant other. It’s more fun if two take the course together, and we even had our teenage son join the admiral and me. I would start with the boat because that knowledge will help keep you safe and alive (and your passengers). That would be my first priority.

Once you feel a little comfort with that (never get too comfortable), then move on to the fishing. Not that you can't put a little fishing in with the boating, it’s just where I would suggest the main concentration needs to be to start with.
