Welcome aboard terrysmith and thanks for your question.
As you probably know, Stripers are an anadromous fish by nature. Even if they get planted they still have the same instincts.
Anchovies are one of their favorite food items. The scent is only have of their enticement.
Leech patterns, Zonkers, Clousers and Minnows are the best fly to throw at them. Any thing that you have in a Black over white or Black over silver will surely get them to strike.
I know which areas you are talking about in TX. I have been there on 5 trips over the past year with my team. I was catching some on the bubble fly with spinning gear and some on my 10wt rod with some special fly line that is now on the market.
Let me know if you need anymore information. I would be glad to help out.[cool]
