Welcome aboard Hooper. Yes scup work very well for large stripers but the best size bait is 6"-7" and in Mass. this would be an under size scup and can not be kept. They also work well on Blues and I have found many small half eaten scup in the boat after bringing in both blues and bass. They are easy to keep alive in a bait tank and will last for days if you keep the water fresh. If you do try the scup I like to cut off the back dorsal fin as this slows them down and helps the stripers to eat them. Now as far as searobins go I have never heard of them as a GOOD striper bait but they will eat most small fish if given the chance. How ever the scup is one of there canndy baits.
