Better off checking the tides, and see where they are in late afternoon/evening when things quiet down and the sun isn't bright, and take you drive then.. a bright sunny mid afternoon in a few feet of water is not really the best time for stripers... There are always some to be caught this time of year in the Keyport /Union Beach/Keansburg area, but beach access is not the same as it was when I lived there, not sure where you can fish there these days... Years ago, it was really open, today, not so much, and I am not sure how much info you will get from locals.. Hopefully someone else chimes in...
