I wonder if any of you guys have any tips for fishing in this area (techniques, access points, rigs, bait/lures, tides, time of day and season). Any help will be appreciated.

Same question has been on my mind for this stretch of the Raritan. After lots of searching on here, I don't think many folks fish THAT far downstream. Nonetheless, I'll be out on that stretch in the coming weeks, trying to use the new moon and rising/falling tides to my advantage. I'm lucky if I can fish once a month, so I am selective about conditions.
In the spring you can find migratory stripers, but this time of year catching anything at all would be a win.
