First things first, think about the basics.

#1 is target fish, begining im guessing pan fish, crappie, etc. and bass.

Medium light rod, longer for further casting off the shore on lakes, and dont blow your budget on a super nice rod up front. I would go with a ugly stick gx2... or this is a great rod as well https://www.amazon.com/Ugly-Stik-Elite-Spinning-Rod/dp/B00UR94BWM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

then pick a spinning reel, This is where the price might seem a bit much for you, but this reel will follow you from rod to rod, I have one and have used it for years as I have upgraded and changed rods to my liking.... shore fishing, you do not need anything more than a 3000 (if you can find one, a 2500 is fine as well (that is basically the spool size and how much line goes on it, since you are shore fishing, you do not need a ton at all).

Next focus on one lure type at a time for your target fish.
#1 Jigging and bottom fishing and weedless lures (strike king makes a lot of great ones)

#2 do you like to just chil? then look towards bobber fishing with either live bait, or...start using rigs https://www.purefishing.com/pages/shakespeare-panfish-rigging

#3 Jigs are also great for bass as well, a jig head and something along those lines are great for beginners, let it sink, slowly reel, jig it, repeat.

#4 once youare comfortable with the basics, move on to Texis rigs, and artificial lures https://monsterbass.com/blogs/fishing-tips/texas-rig-101-everything-you-need-to-know

and first and foremost, before all that learn how to tie your knots.

you probably dont need more than 10-15 lb mono unless in some heavy rocks or such that snag and break lines, I still go with braided line most of the time though, but it is more expensive, and harder to tie, as a beginner, get yourself a big spool of mono and practice tying knots.
