On the Alameda side there are other places around the pier and along the water from Marina Village all the way to Bay Farm (Veteran's Court Pier) where you can drive through, throw some lures, drive, throw some lures and keep moving if you are trying to get stripers. If you want batray fun, just about anywhere you can access the water like the backside of Marina Village all the way along Buena Vista past the Fortman Marina, the Grand Street dock up to the 23rd and High Street Bridge. Both sides, Oakland and Alameda are just "run and gun." I wouldn't commit myself to somewhere like Fruitvale Bridge (either day or night) for more than a minute. I will drive by all of these places day and night to see what its fish-ability looks like. Mostly, Fruitvale had/has the homeless guy sleeping under the pier which is the only issue other than some loud talking and drinking and smoking. I would have a greater issue fishing Candlestick Point at night (especially when my car is right in plain-view 100 feet away from me at Fruitvale). But, down the block, I prefer the solitude of the High Street Bridge fishing at night or near Oakland's Embarcadero (23rd St. Union Pier), Oakland's Estuary Park, or near the airport off Doolittle/Fernside or Island Drive; even the southend of the beach has striper/batray at night on an incoming.
