Caught 22.5" striper at Ocean Beach during king tide on Sunday. Just kept trying to get the lure into deep water until I got a bite. About 2 hrs of plugging.
Muni pier is where the hali is at! A bunch caught on the Saturday I was there. A lot of 30" ones too. No one seemed disappointed unless you were a newbie.
Lost a big hali close to shore yesterday. About 27", shook off hook in 1 ft of water, turned around and swam away. It was so chill I had to chuckle. Only bite the whole session.
