Well, I took your advice and hit crawdad cove yesterday. Fish were jumping at dawn, threw topwaters and trout colored lures with no luck, so I switched to frozen anchovys around 10. They did the trout plant about 11am, and everyone ran over and were getting a lot of trout but a few stripers. They said they saw them, but couldn't get a bite. I didn't want to go with the crowd, so I stayed on the other side of the point. Around noon I hooked what I guess to be about a 3 pounder, but it flipped over on the line at shore and broke off, but a good fight anyway. And that was it...
A guy on a boat caught a 20+ before the plant, and another boater was saying he caught a 32lb near there, other than that it was slow. Might try Boulder Harbor next time.
Hope as spring comes on, it gets better, especially for largemouth. Seems like the fish are very spread out right now, and are exclusively following the baitfish.
