FISHING

I use a Daiwa Tatula Swimbait stick with a Lexa WN and 15-pound Maxima. Jigheads will need to be about 1 to 2 ounces because of ocean currents.

Chrome spoons or iron candy bars jigged around the Pipe can score as well. There are squid around the Pipe at times, so I like plain white, but you should also experiment. The lings and rockfish seem to love them, but they’ll catch bass too. Be careful, though, and watch those rocks.

Watch The Border

You are very close to the U.S./ Mexican border when fishing this spot, probably only a couple hundred yards away from it, so if you drift off it to the south you might enter Mexican waters. Even if you enter Mexican waters by accident, you may get a visit from a U.S. Coast Guard or U.S. Customs boat. Remember, they are there to protect you and they are watching. CS
