Default RE: Oil Pipeline Coordinates??

Popeye (11/12/2007)I believe its the same pipeline which goes down to Tampa.....does this pipeline lay on the bottom with enough relief you can see it on a fish finder? I would figure it was all buried in the sand???? At least for the most part....but I don't know....maybe it sits off the ocean floor on supports of somekind ????? Looking for someone in the know who fishes it in the northern gulf off Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores,and Orange Beach. When it goes over the "Edge" into the deep stuff somewhere out from Pensacola I guess would be too deep for me to mess with....
I believe the pipline had to be covered up if it was in less than 300' of water or something like that but valves come out of the bottom every 100' or so. This is the way I understand the pipeline, I've never tried to fish it so, I haveno first hand knowledge justwhat I've been told.
