go to a good tackle shop they should have maps with all the hi spots and fishing areas. i just picked some up from sav on tackle in santa fe springs

[HoleHoPPer]

they're fishing banks where ther ocean floor comes up. Hence when someone says that they hit the 182, that means they were at the 182 fathom bank

Go to TEMPBREAK.COM. The local locations are posted there for a quick reference. The maps are a great idea, they show detailed info that most of the web sites don't. Spend the 30.00 or so for a decent one.

[svue]

was clueless like you as well, and went to get a map. Now I can post just like the pro...

I recently found this site while trying to self educate myself....click on the names of those spots that appear as links and you get maps.
