ditto on "reading the water" by dr. post.
as far as specific spots, consult "striper hot spots" by frank daignault.
my suggestion: pick a venue that looks interesting to you, and focus on it through various tide stages.
also, keep plugged into what the folks at the tackle shops are saying. a stop into larry's, coop's, and #^&#^&#^&#^&'s b&t are MUSTS if conditions are tough. thankfully, the fall is a good time to be on the island.
mv has everything. sand. rocks. sand and rocks. rocks and sand. sound & open ocean. inlets. salt ponds. jetties. piers.
if you don't focus, it will quickly overwhelm you.
focus, and be sure to match your equipment to the locale.
