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.

Mill Creek Point Park in Secaucus. Plenty of parking and a boat ramp on the creek leading to the river.

Is the hacky big enough for a 19 center console?

You have to watch the tides in the Hacky. Low tide is mud in most areas.

A 19 Ft is ok but there is a lot of mud flats to worry about, also the current rips in the river. I have seen a lot of people flip their boats in there before so be careful. If I was exploring I would launch at the statue of liberty and fish the Hudson instead. It's usually a good chunk game over there
