GPS coordinates for the 'hot spots'? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Here's a site that I have used before. I also recommend going to your local tackle store and pick up some of those laminated charts for the areas that you are interested in. They have GPS marks on them and they will give you some tips for finding the kind of fish you are looking for.

Same type of information but this resource has some historical data and some neat looking illustrations of the rock pile layouts. I used something like this awhile back to try and locate a reef in Santa Monica. It did not really do much for me although I did come away with a super fat sand bass by the end of the day.

Thanks guys..
Stupid question though...how do you know what spots are realistic for yak fishing...reachable and all?
We ought to start a thread on this that is specific and that stays at the top of the forum. I gotta believe this is vital information for all. I know I don't want to take my first trip blindly.

Mark Wisch's "Between 2 and 20 Fathoms" has a bunch of GPS points

Get a copy of Captain Grabenstatter's book called...
the Fishing Spot Locator. It has GPS #s for most of the wrecks, and reefs (both artificial and natural). I also has drawings of the artifical reefs showing size and spacing of the rocks or debris.
Jeff Spira has a couple of books also with wrecks and reefs and hot spots.
Mark Wisch's books are out of print...but they are both great books.
