Question NEED HELP! Beginner at fishing rivers/stripers

Hey, can someone help me out, I just moved not too far from the Hudson on the NJ side across from Manhattan. I hear they pull a good amount of stripers out in the spring. I usually fish lakes, but I'd like to know what would be good to fish for them... Live bait? Lures? What LB test should I use? Will my med. size lake rod be ok or should i buy something else? I'm going on Friday morning, if anyone could give me some pointers that would be great! Also, if you're not familiar with the area, this part of the hudson is very deep and moves extremely quick, being that it's very close to where it lets out into the ocean. There is a dock that i will be fishing out on and it goes about 100ft into the water, I hear it's about 10-12ft right at the end of the dock. Thanks.
