Thanks

Study this map, play around with the different overlays. Look for anything out of the ordinary and go there with your sonar. Also, bottom lock your sonar to 30-50 feet, and use a heavy sinker to drop right down as soon as you see the beginning of a mark. Don't drop after you see the full mark, cause it'll already be behind you. That's how small the rockfish spots are here.

no problem, a couple of years ago a fellow fisherman shared some gps points with me. I went out and never got on the points but near them I cleaned up on sand dabs. Which was still great to me, I love eating sand dabs. Thanks for sharing the map.

I guess I'm dumb as a rock, are all those marks on the chart from you? Waypoints you have marked when fishing. I see X's and it looks like flowers. I'm really not trying to find your spots just trying to understand what I'm seeing.

Good question, but no they aren't mine. I wouldn't give them up that easy

But yeah look at the map overlays to just understand where to look and not waste time. Ditto on the sanddabs, they are great. Redondo has been kicking out HUGE ones recently.
