See my post above. First response to your question. Seriously. It looks like you are somewhere in the Lehigh Valley and this time of yr this is the easiest place to get to, with the best chance at Bass. You could drive to Montauk, but that is a different ball game.
If you need more info:
Use a 10wt if you have it, if not bring the heaviest wt rod you have. Be warned that if you bring your 5wt though, you will have your hands full at best. Anything below about an 8wt is going to be difficult to use. 5ft of 25lb test for leader. Bring 3 kinds of flies: Small surf candies like 2-3" in Chart over white, and olive or tan over white, Clousers same colors. Bobs bangers (top water popper). If you want to complicate it throw in some peanut bunker patterns.
Consider making a stripping basket if you can, if not don't sweat it. You can make one from a wash tub from $1Store and a bungee cord. Google this.
Take rt 78 to 287 s.
287s to Garden St Expressway (Not NJ turnpike)
Garden State to exit 117 Sandy Hook exit
after toll take rt 36 all the way to sandy hook.
You can fish the ocean or the bay from sandy hook. Drive all the way to the end of Sandy Hook, then walk the 1 mile to the point if you want to fish bay and ocean almost at the same time. Nice rips there too, but you don't have to do this.
Bored with Sandy Hook? Leave Park and drive South on rt36 for about 20 miles of Jetties. You have to look for parking, but this time of year its not too bad. Find some jetties, get out. Look for birds and/ or fisherman. Fish there or move on.
