A list of GPS fishing marks ?
I posted this as part of another message earlier, so I think it
might have been missed! Anyway, I'm starting boat fishing in and around Torbay. Is there any way I can get a list of useful marks in GPS coordinates to give me a starting point in this area? Thanks, H. -- Howard Coakley e-mail... howarddot}coakleyatcoakleydot].codotuk ICQ:4502837. (Try ICQ at www.icq.com) |

A list of GPS fishing marks ?
You either need to find another boating and fishing enthusiast willing to
give you their waypoints or a *very* friendly charter skipper. Failing this, try using Admiralty charts for the area in which you intend fishing (these are widely available - go for the most detailed version if there is a choice). Admiralty charts show the location of wrecks and sandbanks that will most likely hold fish. If wrecking, you will need to use a zig-zag search pattern and your fish finder to find the exact location and lie of the wreck (which you should mark on your GPS) - charts aren't that accurate. Hope this will help. -- Skipper ***** WARNING - SPAMBUSTER IN OPERATION ***** Replace 'mapson' with 'boatskipper' to reply "Howie" wrote in message ...

May I suggest you go to your local library and see if they have any "Diving
in Devon" books They often give details about wrecks and locations, not always accurate however. Try a search on the web for diving clubs locally or better still go along to where they all meet and ask Hope you get some good marks Dave "Howie" wrote in message ...

There is some more wreck info on the following site:
http://users.pandora.be/tree/wrecksi...ome/home.html# mostly south of England but it seems to cover Devon. Bob "Howie" wrote in message ...

I have also recently found more wrecks than anybody local knows about by
searching in http://mappe.c-marina.com/partners/ucina/portsearch.asp loads of good gps positions for wrecks. I think its really sad that people find good fishing spots and keep them secret, I can understand Charter skippers as its their livelihood but sport anglers and day anglers................

Hi Simon. Very useful stuff here. Appreciate the help. Nice site BTW, - yours I mean! I had a look in the library and they have nothing showing locations of local wrecks or features of Tor-bay. So Richard's site seems a good bet. Cheers. -- Howard Coakley e-mail... howarddot}coakleyatcoakleydot].codotuk ICQ:4502837. (Try ICQ at www.icq.com) |

pop down to your local boat chandlery shop, they should do a map type thing
with a list of local dive sites in the area, they might not be totally accurate but I guess its then down to looking at the fish finder to find out where it is Rich in exmouth "Simon UK" wrote in message ...
