As previously noted, it’s not very common to find natural sources of 100 percent pure fresh water dumping into the surf, but thanks to technology and infrastructure, there are man-made substitutes as good as a spring stream careening down the dunes into the waves. Many beach communities, particularly those on barrier islands, need to get rid of rainwater somehow. While inland towns rely on storm drains to empty into streams or drainage ditches, many shore towns drain rainwater directly into the ocean via pipelines on the beach. Fish around a pipeline after a heavy rain, and good things are likely to happen. In fact, some of my fondest surf fishing memories are of a beach with a very small drainage pipe up near the dunes. When fresh water was rushing out, it created a short river through the sand, right into the wash. The rainwater would often create a patch of cloudy surf, and never once did I fish there after a rainstorm where there wasn’t some type of baitfish splashing and flashing through that cloud. I didn’t always catch the stripers I was after, but I scored more often than I struck out. Freshwater drainage pipes typically won’t produce any better than other spots when no water is flowing, but if you find one, don’t forget where it is and be there next time it rains.
