Cleaning the fish at the dock is perfectly legal. The reason you can't clean your fish at sea is because there is no way to tell how many fish you cought and what size the fish were when they are in zip-lock bags.
As far as keeping your fish on ice, that is a must and should be done immediately. I have an extra freezer at home and freeze old plastic orange juice bottles with water. I then layer the bottom of my cooler with them. They last longer than ice and you can continue to re-use them.
As far as bleeding stripers, don't bother, you don't have to, it doesn't really make a difference.
