Newport Pipe Question
 

Hey guys i just got my kayak all rigged up. Ive been fishing for newport harbor a ton but ive heard alot of talk about the newport pipe. Can anyone give me a location for it? im a strictly catch and release angler so i wont be taking any fish away from this spot.
thanks Reed

I thought was fishing the pipe in Dana point

Yeah, I fish the Pipe at Dana. Never heard of one in Newport. Is it north towards Newport Pier?

ya i thought there was one by the newport pier. is the dana pipe easy to get out too?

The pipe is easy to get to... Head out of the harbor at about a 45º angle. When you hit about 45' bear left and and stay in that depth. The pipe will come up about 8' off the bottom. The pipe lines up with the red buoy outside the harbor mouth and the 2 barber poles about a mile out. You won't see the poles though until you're about halfway out. Good luck and bring lots of lead. It can really eat 'em up.

BTW, all the traps are gone so you definitely need your FF.

There is a pipeline up a little north of Newport, not sure the exact location, fished it many times on the half day boats.

Shoots out from the Santa Ana River in this area. Easy to see on your sonar.

Blitzburg, isnt that Bolsa? good halis in there.

Bolsa is more north between Huntington and Seal Beach. I like the surf perch fishing on 4lb gear there.

Where do you Park at to fish off of Brookhurst?

My mistake, it is near Bolsa:doh:. Once you get there (its a State Park I believe) its pay to park. Can't remember how much.

It's $15 to park, but you can park further down Brookhurst, or at the houses down south in Newport and just walk to HB state beach.
