The Pipe tomorrow?

I like to start in the 45-50' range. The pipe is very distinct there.

Casey, it wasn't too bad when I launched. I couldn't see the jetty once I got out, but I could see any boats coming. That's all I really worry about. By 9:00 or so you could see the shoreline. Without GPS and/or the buoys it would've been hard to stay on the pipe though. I've been out there when you can't see jack and it's not fun.

I hope it's decent weather this weekend, I'm gonna try and head out again. Looks like I'll head a little deeper to start looking and take note of the barber pole/shore lineup once I find it.

I find it easiest by heading out about 60º off the long jetty, when I hit 45-50' I hang a left and stay in that depth until I hit the Pipe.

You can find the pipe in 40' but like Ed said, it's easier to find in 45' to 50'. As you follow it out, it disappears at about 60' or so and reappears at about 70' or so. The south barber pole marks the end in about 100' and it turns 90 degrees to the north.

Thanks for the info guys. In looking at a few maps of it (I found out that it's called the San Juan Creek Ocean Outfall), I think I was a bit too far SE down the beach.

Thanks, I always wondered where it made the turn. I'll have to go out there sometime.
