Monster Stripers.?

I surf fish and kayak fish off the Jersey shore. Any tips for catching monster stripers (20lbs and up) Bait, rig, hook size or lure? Please only answer if you have actually caught a big one with that setup.

Try around the jetties using bunker (menhaden) chunks. I use a 8/0 hook, but sometime I will use a 9/0. Since I fish from the surf, I keep my leader about 12: to 15″ so I could get casting distance. I wouldn’t use a leader more than 18″ yet some do. Also I use a three-way swivel with a sinker clip. If I’m tossing lures, I’ll use either a two-ounce hopkins or castmaster.
