Tools to Plan Your Next Salt Tube Trip to NPH.

Hope this is a good place to put this info!

Here are a couple tools I use when planning a tube trip to NPH.

Good tide chart that is localized to NPH. Shows a graph of the tide flow to make it easier to visualize.

Next is a map viewer of NPH. I find it alot better than Google Maps ect...it has tons of features that other maps don't have like mooring marks and eelgrass locations.

I have found some maps of those areas but none like the one for NPH.

Sonars is better than my map

Thanks guys, i was hoping for a map just like the one for NPH but guess i am out of luck! I have fished just about every place you can from shore in Mission bay so i know the weedy spots. but was just hoping to find some spots to take the tube.

Hey Spongey try this map....even shows what type of baits to use in certain areas!

I will keep an eye out for a better one.

Damn that was is cool sonarbp I like it very much.

Bookmarked.

i actually bought a nautical fishing chart. it has socal waters mapped out with some landmark spots (flats, kelp, rocks). it does a decent job with the bays. they have landmarks as well as what areas hold what fish complete with gps coordinates. i dont really want to scan/xerox copyrighted material, but i can share some knowledge with you in the form of gps coordinates and maybe a google map.

just send me a PM with the area you'd like to fish and i'll get back to you with some info if i have any. or, if the mods are ok with it, i can start a new thread. just dont want to hijack this thread. or you could buy one for like 5 bucks and its waterproof

$5 is not bad for that were did you get it at, start a new thead bro I will be checking this one out for sure.

i think it was at the sports authority across from south coast but i'm not sure. might also have been fisherman's hardware. i've kind of been on a shopping binge in the last few months filling up my rod rack and tackle boxes. hard to keep track. i'll check my receipts to be sure.

I have a fold out map of NPH that is printed on plastic that I carry when I am on the water, its very cool and shows eel grass beds and areas known to hold halibut, spotties etc.

If I can remember where I got it I will post a link.

i couldnt find the receipt but i found these fish n go maps. theyre usually around 8 bucks at most places.

I have those maps in the store, Jimmys Outdoors. The only problem with the one that shows NPH is the portion of the map is so small. They are great maps if you want general information but if you are looking for more specific info....look online!
