I have that book, good book lot of history and info, but you will notice that alot of the #s are off. I believe that the numbers were converted from loran and some of the spots are completely off the mark. Here's an example, looked for the palawan art. reef out of redondo beach this past weekend, and had the numbers from the book marked on my GPS. Went right to the mark.....nothing. Hard to miss a 3-400 foot long sunken ship....Found it a 1/4 mile off the numbers.

The book is definitely a good read, but don't expect the numbers to be right on.

It has from Honda point Santa Barbara County south to South San Diego. Also North Channel Islands, Catalina and San Clemente Islands

From another post Saba Slayer; Jeff also has another book that's full of info, I think its called the "Anglers Guide to Fishing Southern California".
A few other books to ponder..."Two to Twenty Fathoms" by Captain Mark Wisch, and another book by him, for those who like fishing Catalina, is "In the Gray". "Two to Twenty Fathoms" covers the PV to Newport area.
Captain Frank Grabbenstater's "Fishing Spot Locator" covers from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border His hand drawn images of the artificial reefs is unlike any other. Along with the drawings, he gives so much more info about each reef...
date built...depth...compass bearing from the nearest marina ...what material it was constructed of...and GPS numbers. It's my favorite book for the skiff and the yak.

ON books, I picked up Capt. Wisch's Life On the Water and he noted he was JUST wrapping up a revised edition of '2 and 20.' Should be out in early December.
