Sounds like I'm better off going for the freshwater and just using that gear for brackish (and hope to not get spooled by a striper when going for sea run trout or perch)!

I remember the huge decline in the mummies/killie population here from brown and red tides killing them off back in the 90s (man those prices skyrocketed in bait shops).

Grass shrimp I never saw in a shop (usually were bycatch with spearing).

I have to say, I am curious about one thing: do winter stripers fight like the winter largemouth where they feel more like a wet rag on the end of your line rather than the other seasons where you gotta hang on? Got fooled on a cold lake early spring thinking I had weed on the end of my line and it was me dragging a 2 lb LM with no fight in it save a head shake right when I went to grab it at my yak!
