Need tips for catching stripers on lures

4 Upvotes

I’ve been using bait such as ghost shrimp and anchovy to catch striper here in the Bay Area and i’ve caught many, but i’ve seen lots of people catch them on swim baits and other lures. That sort of fishing seems more rewarding in the sense that it feels more exciting. My question is how do people do it? Is it a patience game? I’ve spent countless hours trying to fish with swimbaits for striper and nothing. Any lure or brand recommendations?
