If you are going to fish the ocen side you can surf cast for bluefish and stripers. You will need a 10' surf rod to get the job done so it might be a bit prohibitive. If you can manage it you will rig a frozen mullet or bunker chunk and cast it as far out as possible. If you can find live pogeys or clams they work the best for stripers. Then just wait for a bite.
Fishing the bays and marshes you can hire a guide which would be your best bet. Either way you can fish trout (localy called weakfish) using the 20lb combo with a jig and shrimp combo. Also a white mister twister grub on a jig will get the job done. A guide might also be able to put you on some small stripers or fluke at that time of year.
If you are free for a whole day a ride to Point Pleasant or Barnegat will offer you the opportunity to fish party boats for just about anything that swims. Most boats leave at 7-8 am.
