Striper Noob

I'm 38 and I've never caught a striper. I've not done a ton of saltwater fishing, my father wasn't much on it. I have gotten plenty of bluefish, scup, dogfish, etc. but not stripers. I want to get my 9 year old son fishing. I've taught him what I know for freshwater, now it is time for saltwater.

I live in Wareham. I work in Falmouth. I don't have a boat. I do have several surf casting rods and a tackle box with a few plugs, plastic shads, weights, and floats. I make my own leaders. Any and all advice on rigs, locations, times, etc will be appreciated.

I've been tossing shads in at the canal near the Town Hall. I've been tossing shads into the Agawam River off Apple Street.

First concrete question. Plug and teaser. Anyone got a picture of a rig like that? I read on another site how to make the rig, but there wasn't a good picture. (search "How to Rig Red Gills and Teasers" in google, first hit). Is it worth making this rig for a noob?

TIA
