Dondorfish Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I hear reference to different points and shoals - Is there a map that i can purchase or download that shows me these areas? Thanks Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Get yourself a chart, its required to have a chart onboard as part of your safety equipment if you don't know the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Don...the one you need isn't available at BPS. Only one they don't have on the shelf. They have it in the office at Merland..$20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find this information? Don..are you a member of the SCGFA? If so I have charts somewhere and if you're going to the meeting Monday I'll bring them there.

Dondorfish Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks guys - weather I am required to have one or not - I will pick one up as I would like to have one on board. I did receive a great topo map from one of our board members that will fit the bill nicely - just have to get new cartridges for the printer so I can print one off. Thanks again to the board member!

POLLIWOGG Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Its on page10 of the safe boating guide, you don't hear about it much because its hard for the cops to charge someone because you don't need it if you know the area. but if you have one you'll find that you use it more looking for shoals and structure to fish than navigating.

Dondorfish Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Sorry Rick - didn't see your reply. No I am not a member as of yet. I will probably be joining in the spring. I am aware of the club and the good things that it does. I have not fished the Great Lakes much in the last 15 years but now I find myself gaining interest again. Hope to get out on Erie and Ontario in the spring before the boat heads north to the trailer for the summer. I did get a very good map sent to me by a board member and in turn I sent it to my wife's computer and she printed it off for me. Thanks for the kind offer thou.
