Hi Dane - welcome.
The March comet I presume you are talking about is C/2011 L4 PanSTARRS.
It is currently low in the sky at dusk in the WSW, so the best time is to start looking as soon as the sun sets. You need a low horizon. If you're on the west coast then looking over the ocean is ideal.
You should be able to pick it up with the naked eye when it gets dark enough, but binoculars would be a big help.
Be aware that it will only be visible for another week or so when it moves to the northern hemisphere.
See the Solar System photo board to see some examples of what you are looking for!
Good luck!!
Carl
