For future reference I and I'm sure many others would agree it's in poor taste to push people for gps coordinates. Almost everyone here had done their due diligence by getting out and fishing, looking at charts, going with someone else etc.. Those who do have coordinates, have spent many hours figuring them out and don't feel like giving their work away and that's why you didn't get many number's. Just get out and fish. I moved out Here two and a half years ago and I must have put in at least 50 hours before I figured out how to catch a yellowtail and I'm just getting really solid on the bay fisheries. Put in your time ask about questions that come up but don't ask for people's spots.

I agree, go and explore, it's fun. I've been fishing DP in a yak for 5 years, 3 of them every weekend. I've explored the area from salt creek all the way down past the Clemente pier. There are definitely spots out there that I prefer to go just because I've caught many fish in the area. But those are not the only spots. I used to have over 280 locations marked but recently culled that down to 67, marking areas rather than individual spots.

So go, explore, play, make it an adventure, you'll get there.

Since this thread is a few years old, maybe the OP can post up all of his way points.

Maybe now that you have moved to Baja and don't need them anymore, you could send me all your old waypoints. The more specific the better...
