Looking for on-line data, or even laminated images of the seafloor of our local waters. So far I can only find this:

Anyone know of images that cover the missing areas along the shore?
Google earth doesn't have it. Just want to be able to look it over - no need to have data to upload to a nav device.

I was looking for those maps that they sell at the Tackle stores that also have the GPS marks on the back. I have some at home but also use to be able to look at them online. Those show some pretty good Bottom structure also, with the depths included. Anyone know what the names of those maps are?

I forgot about that site. The Sat/Aerial imagery is what I'm looking for, but the seafloor is masked by the sat imagery - same as the google map - which is where they get it from.

I have those laminated charts too, just don't remember the seafloor mapping being a part of it.

Maybe not full on mapping but I do believe it gives basic depths. I'm looking at those to plan the Rock fishing trips.

That's what I was talking about. Thanks for posting this. I think I have this map and a closer one to La Jolla, and the ones for the Off Shore hot spots also.
