Our maps are more than just 1000+ GPS coordinates of SoCal's best fish and dive spots.

Whether you're fishing for calicos in the kelp, chasing tuna offshore or just cruising the harbor, our maps provide a visual aid to better understand the big picture.

We make each map because we’re going to use it, and it shows in the details.

About

Our products provide a comprehensive guide of Southern California waters and are intended to help the private boater catch more fish, get off the beaten path and explore.

It all started with a 13-year-old kid marking up maps of his favorite San Diego County bass lakes with a sharpie. Thirty years later, we are still using maps to find more and better fishing spots.

Cold winter nights hooping bugs in San Diego Bay? Check. Slinging surface iron into the boilers on the backside of Clemente for monster calicos? You bet. Chasing mixed bluefin and yellowfin outside the islands late in the offshore season? Copy that.

We’ve been there. That’s what makes our products stand out from the rest. We make each map because we’re going to use it, and it shows in the details.

Shaded relief in HD

Incredibly detailed view of the ocean floor with a GPS grid overlay. Sure beats scattered soundings on a white background.

Reefs and Kelp

Fish-holding habitat like rocky reefs and kelp beds are easy to see. Find those ledges, pinnacles and isolated stones that you've been missing.

Local Boating Knowledge

Instructions for landing a dinghy and contacting the Park Ranger are printed right on the map, because you have enough to worry about just making it out there.

Regulation Boundaries

Groundfish depth limits, Marine Reserves and National Park boundaries are clearly visible, so you know where to go. And where not to.

Product Features

Our hard bottom data combined with shaded relief, displaying areas of rocky reef and sand around Anacapa Island

Incredible view of the seafloor

We combine hi-res relief shading with fish-holding habitat like rocky reef, cobble, sand, kelp, eelgrass and boiler rocks. The result is a realistic view of the ocean floor that will make you feel like the local expert no matter where you are.

Each of our maps has a calibrated GPS grid overlay, making it easy to pull waypoints for any location on the map

Calibrated GPS grid

Our calibrated GPS grid overlay makes it easy to pull waypoints for any location on the map. Line up two straight edges on the grid. Punch the numbers into your chartplotter and meter around with your fishfinder to home-in on your new favorite fishing spot.
