SF, your water as you know is very similar to what I fish and current isn't the only thing that creates opportunities for our striped friends. Watch for any offshore storms, hurricanes that head out to see that put a large swell onshore for a time. If you can time it right before the water becomes too thick with weed and crap, that white water is gold.

I love fishing calm summer mornings when an offshore storm is pushing 8-12 foot swells up on my ledges. Not only is it a blast running the boat (yeah it's my water version of a good coaster ride), but the confused water around the rock if fish are present becomes easy fishing.

Under those conditions, your casts might need to shorten up and you'd be surprised at what you can catch in the white water below your or to your left or right.

Tight lines.
