I mainly fish for stripers around the Bridge and as far south as Hoopers Island. That'll be fishing from my uncle's boats, not piers or the shoreline. Been reading lots of reports of people hauling in stripers, though. The surveys have been good and i know the big cows are up in the bay. The cold snap slowed down the spawn, but didn't shut it down.
I'm also planning a trip down to OC to try some surf fishing for the first time in a few years, maybe some inlet stripers and flounder as well.
