new brighton/capitola stripers

When do the stripers start showing up?
I have read about them being caught from the cement ship and new Brighton beach, but do not know the time of year to expect them.

Thanks

they're there now...just waiting for you catch, photo and, release them.  Make sure you post up a report with lots of pixs.

Pencil poppers from the beach.

I was thinking of using poppers, and yozuris/rapalas from the yak-has any one had experience catching the this way?

Has anybody had any luck trolling.  If so, what lures are best?

My favorite pencil popper the cotton Cordell 5-1/2 blue back or blackback.just prepare fo ge strike that first hit always makes me jump.second spro buck tail with 6 inch white trailer,finally a swim bait.these are the lures I throw for stripers

You can try trolling if you can find some flat water outside the surf line.  Might be able to coax one outside.  Keep in mind you plan of "what to do" once you hook-up outside the surf line.
