The Pipe, 12-17-13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'll probably have a hard time pinpointing it again once the lobster buoys are gone. Maybe I could make up my own marker buoy for temporary use while I'm out there to judge my drift and just have a visual? I should just probably buy a FF/GPS and be done with it, although those buoys sure made things easy.

Anyways I wish I could fish Mon/Tue but I'm a M-F working man so weekday fishing is going to have to wait a few decades

What kind of phone do you have? If you have an iPhone, Navionics might serve you pretty well. It's only $10 or so, has a great deal of information and lots of uses. Not sure if they make it for Android/Windows Phone or not.

Nice day Ed. When the stars aren't in alignment, the pipe can be tough to fish. Glad it settled down for you.

That's a good idea. Even if you do have a FF/GPS, Looking down at your screen can get old after circling back a bunch of times over a rock pile. Having a couple of markers to line up your next drift with would make it alot easier especially if your fishing with someone without a FF.

I've thought about doing the same thing. When the traps aren't there it definitely gets old looking at the FF all the time.
