Here is a link to some planer boards to use for stripe.

http://www.waterbugz.com

Fish two planer boards, one each side with live bait. One or two corks or ballons out the back of the boat with live bait. Depth depends on where you are marking fish on the fishfinder. Fish above the depth the fish are holding at. Striper will only hit a bait that is above them, like crappie. 12'-15' is a good starting point this time of year. Troll the baits around with the trolling motor while throwing a bucktail or smiliar shad mimicking bait. A Redfin for topwater works the best. If you don't see any fish jumping topwater is a waste of time.

If you can't use shad, bream is the next best thing. The key with stripers is finding the schools of shad. If you can't find shad balled up then you will have a hard time catching stripers.
