Its been a while since I've bank fished so reaching out for some suggestions.  Some of my buddies would like to go night fishing.  Any suggestions for piers or other places open to fishing at night?  Preferably within 2 hours driving distance of San Jose.  Thanks yall.

Santa Cruz pier, fish right out of the back of your car.  Getting fish is another story, but should not be a problem getting small ones.

Sturgeon and Striper fishing in Benicia off 1st Street or 9th Street. Plenty parking spaces and nice restroom by the pier.

Yeah Kiel, I was checking that out on google maps because it's pretty close to my brother's house. Is it bayrays & sharks & stripers?
