We fished from about 8pm to 2am. We chummed with the fish heads and tails of cut up anchovies and used the rest for bait. We went through 3 bags of anchovies. Caught mostly channel cats, two stripers, and 1 white bass. The bass were no record breakers but did catch two channel cats that were pushing 4 lbs each. We were using 2/0 circle hooks no weights and submersible green light. Fishing report: Well we got there Friday(6/26) just before sunset. We fished from about 8pm to 2am.

However, the area is closed off the boaters from safety. But basically stripers will congregate near the dam. But what I really recommend for you is to go to the Castle Creek end of the lake (go past the main entrance to the park on Castle Hot Springs Road, and when you come to a T-intersection, turn left (not right to the 4-lane launch ramp). That will take you to where the road crosses the upper end of the Castle Creek arm of the lake. It’s a wakeless area, making it much safer for your type of fishing. At first and last light, stripers like to forage in the coves. Look for topwater boils. Keep a firm grip on your fishing pole. Stripers can hit like a runaway locomotive. Brian;

All I have is an inflatable boat with no motor. I don’t want to be paddling all over. Is there a good place at Pleasant to fish from the shore for stripers? Or is there a place that isn’t too far to paddle to fish from my inflatable? You mentioned the towers by the dam; where is that?
