You've got it rhett! Look out fish! Try rod with much stiffer tip, burn, stop, twitch, twitch, burn, stop, burn, stop!! Also semi spastic half turn snaps with the reel handle as you're cranking along with short bounces with the rod tip.
For stripers super long casts, medium burn with twitches while reeling, fast burn 100 feet out, dead stop at 60 feet out, pause one second, resume twitch and burn.
As fish closes on boat and you can see it, (and unfortunately it can see you also) try to "read" its' attitude as you vary your retrieve. Try to figure out what it takes to get them to react by observing their reaction to what you do with the lure.
Nice work!
