For $10 you get an app that you can plot you next trips, see what the depths are for the areas you may want to fish in. Even if you have a FF/GPS unit there may be some details that your system may not have. Some of the higher end Humminbird FF have the Navionic installed, but I will often kill some time at work looking at areas that I want to fish and see the depths, distance that I will need to paddle, and just to dream about fishing while I'm working.

I use google earth. I find the rock piles that I want to try, the take the coordinates and mark it out on my Navionics App on my iphone. You can not go wrong that way.

There are so many tools that are available to us, there's not excuse anymore for us not to find fish, catching them is the next step.

there's an iPhone app called Marine US. uses all the NOAA maps. don't have it so I don't know how it works.

if you use the NOAA maps you can find spots, write them down, or maybe plug them into the phone, then use the gps on your phone to find. there are several gps apps.

NOAA Nautical Charts are a good reference. Google it.

Thanks for the information. I watched a couple of videos on You Tube about the application. I think I'll give it a try.

I purchased the Navionics application and have been figuring it out. Pretty cool. I've never fished La Jolla and am not sure when I will but could someone post a couple of spots from their gps so I will kinda have an idea of where guys fish and where it's legal to fish. I'm not looking for your secrets, just a general idea to better understand.
Thanks.
