I agree, it's too much work and the chances of landing bigger ones like that are slim. I don't care who you are. Take a plugin rod and enjoy yourself. You'll get in 50x more casts and catch WAY more fish.
As far as taking advantage of the salt, Jersey is marginal. If you really want to get into consistent fishing you need to head north where the fish stay. In Jersey they just pass through for the most part. It's great if your a local and can be there. Otherwise your just hoping the stripers will be there when you take your trip.
While I regard Jersey as world class rather than "marginal," there is definitely some overall truth to this. Take it from a guy who loves the surf and has fished from TX to ME and many states in between.....surf fishing is hit or miss.
For someone like me who has a long drive to the beach, I always take spin gear and enjoy fishing plugs when the wind is ripping or I can't find fish and need to search for 'em. Nevertheless, saltwater fly fishing is fairly easy to learn compared to trout fishing and loads of fun. Don't be discoureged.
