hey guys, im not trying to get anybodys hot spots but about 5 or 6 years ago i got some numbers off of a site somewhere. it was a pile of numbers off the savannah ga coast. from near to far. but im mostly looking for the natural stuff in 60+ ft of water. i cant seem to remember where this info was at. can anyone point me where to go?


i really hate to ask these kind of questions but im just getting started and have no idea where to go.

thanks

At 60' the water is not very Blue, but here is a site with some DNR numbers you can try.
Some are off Savannah area.

Of course some of the fishing Charts would have more.
Try "Hot Spots" at local tackle shacks.

thanks guys. i should be able to get some off these sites. most of them are the artificials which i already had but there are some new ones. i have a maps unique map with some numbers on it but they all have 2 digits behind the decimel. last i remember we couldnt find too many of these sites. this website im looking for had alot of these locales but with 3 digits after the decimal and they were easier to find. when i used the two together it worked real well.

i cant figure out how whenever i do find numbers for live bottom they are either for the savannah or grand banks. there are a ton ofplaces in between. those are the numbers im trying to find. this is quite frustrating!

For what it is worth.......
A lot of these Maps have converted OLD Loran numbers and are not truly accurate.
Especially when you see two or three Zeros ending the number. I know I will have to search to find, and even may not find as conversions can throw one off by a hundred or more yards.
Some of the Hot spot maps are good. If you can find one it will be worth your money in my opinion.
Go to the Ga DNR website and see their numbers for the latest material placed. Some was placed as late as last year or year before that.I have hunted/Scratched/begged around and added personal numbers to a data base of around 1,000 so it can be done if you are hungry and persistent. But it takes a lot of personal work.
Not too many fisherman part with their good stuff. When they do, they often go out and find several boats on their good stuff. Not real good feeling when that happens 4 out of 5 trips like has happened to me, so they learn.
That being said, most everyone will give up a few "general" numbers to a needy and sincere fisherman.
As you develop friendships and trust, there will be more sharing, I'm sure.
Best of Luck. I think you will find this site a friendly group of people who are willing to help, if even just a little bit.
There aren't too many bad apples here, based upon my interaction.

Maps Unique is a great chart for finding live bottom. It will not put you directly on "the spot" but with a little searching around and it can quickly become worth it. for the most part the live bottom will be very low relief the closer you are to the beach (low relief in general) and will not mark as well on the sonar.

No one gives up their honey hole. that being said some of my favorite are at the dang artificial reefs!

i have a maps unique map and it is pretty handy but like i said earlier it only goes two decimal places. seems like when we used it b4 we only found about 1/2 the spots. thanks guys!

Many of the spots are low relief. Just small ledges and so are difficult to find.

yea thats true. several places we never found structure but found fish.

the best numbers you will find will often be spots that drift across after going directly to numbers from a chart. Find a group of numbers that are close together on a map, drive up current of the cluster of numbers and just put the boat in neutral and start drifting. When you see a good looking spot on the depth finder, or catch some good fish, mark it on your gps. There are thousands of holes and ledges out there that no one has ever dropped a line on that are loaded with fish! The more you go, the more numbers you will accumulate and the more extensive your list will get! We'll do this especially if trolling is a little slow in the middle of the day or something.. We'll just keep trying new spots until we mark some good ones! Good luck!
