Default Hackensack River Stripers

Living so close to the Hackensack river and hearing about the stripers that are in there I want to explore this river.
Years ago we used to get em by the Red Roof Inn in Secacus but I understant that area is gated off now.
Also I have heard of the warm water discharge area that holds fish but not sure on where this is or how to access it.
I did see an area in Ridgefield Park that looks fishable near the PSEG plant.
Can anyone shed some intel on this river and areas to fish.
I understant these fish are migratory but from that water it would be strictly c & r.
I know that water has cleaned up over the years but I'll play it safe.
Also I am sure the Meadowlands marshes hold fish but again just not sure where to go.
My initial trips I would prefer on foot but I have a kayak with all essential dry and saftey gear so that is an option with company with knowledge of this eco system.
With tommorow off this is something I may try to explore.
Comany is welcomed.
Thx.
