You need a commercial license and a separate striped bass permit. The season opens the first Monday in July and for practical purposes, ends when the quota is reached, usually in late August. During the open season, fishing is allowed on Monday-Thursday, and closed Friday-Sunday. The minimum length for a "commercial keeper" is 34". There's a 40 fish per boat daily bag--not sure what the bag limit is for a guy on shore.
