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

BrokeLoser · 02-16-2011, 10:00 AM

I'll look for those books but...
All these yak fishermen here with FF's and GPS's, most of which fish from Lon Beach down to San Diego...we ought to be able to come up with quite a list right here....no?
Or, is this a 'trade secret' issue?

People are not going to reveal their spots, because too many people will show up and take their fish away.

You are going to have to find your own hot spots. You can start by going to the artificial reefs.

Ummmm...all of these spots are plugged with lobster traps for almost half the year...

I'm no world class fisherman but I think it matters "how" you fish a spot as much as "where" you are. Also, "when" you are there can be pretty crucial too. You just gotta get out and start piecing together the puzzle. Then you will be the guy with the secrets

Good point...
I love the trivia...this is gonna be fun. So first I have to crack the riddle then go find the buried pirate map, follow that to the end of the rainbow and there I will find my answer.
AWESOME!

Momma always said; "It doesn't matter how good a fisherman you are, if you fish where their are no fish you will not catch fish."

Ahh...so thats the one sacred thing that people won't share?
"Ask me anything but don't ask me for my 'fishing hole'."

Trust me if you go and find those Laminated Charts I was telling you about you will see all the spots many of us fish. You are correct though, some people have found spots that pay off for them and they are not likely to give those up. Those Charts I mentioned will show you all you want to know, depths, structures(sort of), and GPS marks.

Thanks Jimmyz....
Looks like plenty of info between the charts and the web link you provided.

Much appreciated!

Jump on the new seaforth with a handheld gps and mark the spots. if you're too broke to pay show up at the dock and tell them you want to pinhead with jackpot going to the crew. If you're too broke for a handheld, align yourself with fixed objects on land so you can remember the location. Listen for when they say the name of the spots and fathoms, and you got yourself a 3 our tour.

Is it pretty easy to get a pin head spot on a sport boat?
