Newbie question

I live in the UK and fish for Pike (Northerns) mainly. I had a holiday in and around Cape Cod a couple of years ago and managed to catch a couple of small stripers fishing cotton cordell pencil poppers and Kastmaster. I think I fished the pencil popper too slowly really, having seen a video on You Tube of a guy showing you how to fish one though.

Anyway, I'm coming back for another holiday in September and would like to try to get a couple more stripers and maybe a blue or two, so.... Is there any general guideline as to when it's better to fish swimmer plugs, poppers, kastmasters, wildeyes etc? Is it a seasonal thing, personal preference, boat vs shore? etc. I just want to get a rough idea of what I need to have with me to have a moderate chance of success.

Many thanks
