Pre-GPS I'd paddle out at an angle to the buoy to about 45' then bear left until I came up on the Pipe. It comes up about 10' so it's easy to see on the meter. Once you find it it's easy to work out land marks for yourself. Just remember, Red Buoy and left hand Barber Pole and you'll find it.

Thanks for the heads up Kobra. Never fished out there. I'll try it next time.

Brokeloser, it's really not too hard to find. Once you do, if you have GPS you're golden. If you don't, just make yourself some landmarks. I have a few I use, but describing them wouldn't work. Or wait until lobster season, then just follow the line of buoys.
