Newark Bay fishing

[hudsonfisherman]

Does anyone have any experience/advice fishing from shore at the top end of Newark bay in Kearny where it splits to the Passaic and Hackensack rivers ? I have access to the water (with permission) in a couple spots around there this weekend. Someone who has fished one of the spots told me that low tide is the best time. That didn't seem right to me, any thoughts ?
A second related question - does anyone have any experience/advice fishing from Laurel Park in secaucus. Its in the same general area but up the Hackensack a bit. Thanks
