Welcome to S-B -
Maybe Bernzy will see this and chime in - he lives in Indianapolis now and targets freshwater stripers in the lakes out there in Indiana - and bags fish that would make a saltwater fisherman proud using the same plugs that we use in the salt.
Hoosier FW stripers are feeding on shad, bluegills and crappie there and I assume they're on the same forage on the left coast - I've talked to Bernzy about it since my brother-in-law lives an hour away from him and he's told me all the traditional SW stuff works - like Storm or Tsunami shads, Redfins, and any of the good wood from guys like Bernzy himself - whose plugs are hard to come by now...
...or BigFish Larry would be killer for ya - if you get a chance to find any of Bernzy's Commanders, Bernsters or Surf Howdies, grab 'em - likewise for Larry's Prey or Blitzseekers
As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for some bunker Blitzseekers myself...
Anyway, good luck - let us know how you make out
