Where is a good place to kayak fish for stripers, that might be somewhat close to OC? Can't go to DVL, since they don't allow sit on top kayaks.

Correct. No Stripers in El Cap.

Pyramid Lake and Lake Silverwood are supposed to have Stripers and look to be about 2.5 hr drive North from San Diego. Lake Cahuilla is North of the Salton Sea and about the same 2.5 drive, but in the heat will kill you before you catch a fish.

Here's a link I found with a snip of info pasted below.

Good fishing....... ;-)

Striper Fishing Lakes In California
The Colorado River lakes along the California-Arizona border are populated with striped bass. Before dams were built the river was a major spawning ground and many monster stripers have come from these waters.
In Central CA, Millerton Lake is the primary option for striper fishing. Southern CA has several options including Lake Cahuilla, Pyramid Lake and Lake Silverwood.

Now that school is back in session

, Castaic lake also has "Jailbirds" [Mr. Stripee out there can range from "schoolie size" (2-5#'ers) up to 20lb+]. They can be finicky @ times (weekends) and can have a serious case of "Lockjaw", but Andy had a couple trips out there recently and scored at least one on each trip (which is much better than my avg. and I've been fishing there since I move to Santa Clarita over 35+ years ago!).

Its a bit strange that website says before the damns were built on the Colorado River it was a spawning area for stripers. Striped bass aren't native to the west coast or the Colorado river and weren't stocked in to the river until after all the main dams were built.

Any impoundment that gets its water from the Colorado River or the Delta will have stripers in it. They get pumped in at small size or even as larvae. Local lakes that get local water don't have stripers. I've never fished the delta but I can say there are plenty of stripers all over the Colorado river. I think the closest lake to SD that has stripers is Lake Skinner east of Tamecula. Mike
