Here's a few things I used this summer for shore/jetty fishing, and fishing in the estuary (marsh)....
6" Storm Bunker shads (great for heavy surf)
4" Storm shads for the marsh
7" Boone needlefish (black, purple, with white belly)
9" Slug-Go's
10" (they dont really come out to 10", more like 8 or 9) PowerBait Power Eels. These things RULE.
and I use various plugs, but one good one is a Bomber Long A, it is almost clear, and has a yellow stripe going down the top and bottom. Other minnow plugs, like Yo-Zuri's (with rattle) are real good too. I remember I threw a blue/silver Yo-Zuri rattler off the trestle in the marsh, and I didnt even finish my sentence, and I had a 25" Stripy hangin' off it
Throw in a few Bucktails and maybe a spinner, and you'll have a pretty well rounded set-up. All of these things acan be found at wal-nuts, and all are fairly cheap.
If your nut having much luck with the chunk Herring, try spraying your chunks with wd-40, and switching to red Eagle Claw circle hooks.
I was catching fish up until last weekend (tail end of September). Now I cant find the fish. Hopefully I'll run across some, I'd like one more Striper before I retire for the winter.
