Absolutely. I have to tell you though. The fishing is slow during the day. The only place I have had success during the day is in Ladder Cove, which is adjacent to the Temple Bar Marina. One side of the cove has high cliff walls. The other side of the cove has small beaches and small hills. You want to fish about 30-50 feet away from the shoreline on the side with the high cliff walls. Just keep drifting into the cove and you'll hit a school of stripers. Try all depths. Some areas are pretty deep. You probably should keep the line about 10 - 20 feet down. That's where I've had the most luck. But try all depts. You want to start fishing about 50 yards into the cove. Don't start from the opening. Just look for the cliff walls and start from there.
Now, night fishing is hot. Go to Channel Island which is in Gregg's Basin. There is a large sandy beach. Go to the East Side of Channel Island on the sandy beach. It should be pretty deep in that area. I typically fish off the back of a houseboat which puts me about 50 feet from the shoreline. So you want to drop your line about 50 feet from the shoreline.
Another good area is the first cove Southeast of Delmar Butte. Don't go into the large cove facing Delmar Butte. Instead, circle around to the southeast of that large cove. There's a shallow point at the entrance of that southeast cove. Go in the first cove about 30-40 feet along that shallow point. Again fish about 50 feet from the shoreline. At sunset, chum a lot of anchovies in that area. My cousin and I caught around 250 stripers in a few hours. Just make sure to chum at sunset. Make sure you chop up the anchovies in tiny pieces...not bate size pieces.
Good luck, and let me know how you do.
Best regards,
Paul
