I would say its a waste of time unless you have downriggers or some other method of trolling artificals deep with depth control.  Surface temperature just gets too hot in the summer.  You might be able to get a few in the 10'-15' depth range around deep water dock lights at night.  Your best bet is November thru early May.  I think the best time is March thru April.  Fish any docklight or underwater light at night and its a no brainer.
