Please help with GPS numbers

DavidT · 07-29-2009, 06:51 PM

Ok i downloaded 2 list of gps number on some previous post on in this section. Im adding them to my bluechart and got bummed by all the different numbers for the same thing.

one from Redlegs

http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fis...hment8242.aspx

and one from

http://www.co.escambia.fl.us/Bureaus...2021July09.xls

Could anyone please tell me which is the correct one? Both of them have different numbers to each reef.

If im incorrect, my apology in advance

The numbers that are verified by Robert Turpin are going to be your best bet.

Are you questing the numbers themselves or the formats???

DavidT · 07-30-2009, 03:56 PM

the numbers

seanmclemore · 07-30-2009, 04:04 PM

i can tell you one thing, don't get disappointed when some of the numbers that turpin "verified" aren't there, but the escambia county list is pretty good.

koo. thanks guys. i just dont want to be wasting a lot of fuel looking for all of this

Look at the difference in the numbers for the same spot they could very well both could be correct if they are close to each other. Two boats tied up next to each other on a spot will get different numbers from there GPSs and both are correct for the spot..

Yea i definately check them out. one set of numbers said the Massachusetts was about 10 miles out :banghead

What do you mean you don't want to waste fuel checking them out. I thought that was fishing in the gulf. But seriously. some are going to be better than others and over time some reefs have weathered the hurricanes better than many others. Also, if a spot is several spots right close together or was originally a bunch of stuff in one spot, look a few hundred feet in any direction. You never know what a storm may have moved around a bit or the first thing you print may not be the piece of structure holding the best concentration of fish.
