You can park at the boatramp and get into Joppa Flats about 2 1/2 to 3hrs before
low tide. You can judge this by waiting for the water level to reach the bottom
of the wall before entering or this time of year just going with rest of crowd.
You will go through a dip before reaching the river and note this when the tide
comes in as you will have to come back through it or walk toward the sanitation
plant to avoid getting wet. Otherwise this is a very safe area if you bring a
compass. Chartreuse deceivers and poppers at sunup and sundown work for me.
You can fish the area around Woodbridge Island from the parking lot on Plum Island
but I have never tried it. Mayby someone else could help you with that one.
The beach has been exceptionally well all along the island from the jetty to Auntie

jetty on an outgoing tide.
