The Coastside Fishing Club Chart is another in the series of C-Map charts created from expert sources outside of official HO channels. In this case, the officers of the 10,000-strong fishing club volunteered to provide local knowledge of area fishing grounds in order to promote the recreational fishing experiences for members and non-members alike.
The Coastside Fishing Club Chart is a unique combination of navigation data, bathymetric data and local knowledge of the top fishing minds in Northern California.
A perfect example of making the most from fishing contour charts is the collaboration between Jeppesen Marine and the Coastside Fishing Club of California in creating a custom electronic chart for the Northern California recreational fishing community. Any interested angler may purchase this unique chart in keeping with the Coastside mission to enhance the recreational fishing experience of all who fish that area's waters.
This specialty chart combines coastal navigation data with detail offshore ocean-floor contour data. It features approximately 100 charted areas that the Coastside leadership with its vast local knowledge and experience has identified as the region's most productive grounds.
Chart Coverage Area
The coastal range is from Coos Bay, Oregon, to Point Conception, California — approximately 600 miles of coastline. It includes San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay, the Delta and the Sacramento River to a point just south of Colusa, California.
The average limits of east-west offshore area coverage is approximately 300 miles overall. Bathymetric data (detail bottom contours) are maintained from the shoreline to an average offshore area distance of 100 miles.
General Specifications
The Coastside Fishing Card (CFC) is available in both MAX and NT+ charting lines: MAX for electronic chart plotters that are MAX compliant/MAX upgradeable and NT+ for electronic chart plotters that pre-date MAX. It is available on all standard MAX and NT+ chart plotter card formats.
Exclusive MAX Features
The combination of a MAX class chart with a MAX-compatible electronic chart plotter means a suite of additional features beyond the special characteristics of the CFC chart.
They include:
Chart Updates
New releases of the CFC fishing card will produce updated charts that include new identified areas and expanded information for existing designated areas. They will also include additional bathymetric data (if available), all new aids-to-navigation that occur in the chart coverage area since the previously released version and all state-mandated Marine Protection Areas (MPA) at the time of the new release.
Custom Specifications
The Coastside Fishing Card features five categories of custom information:
The approximately 100 charted CFC areas include recommended fishing, crabbing and cautionary areas such as bottom trawling zones. Each selected area is identified by a fish symbol. Each area is entirely outlines by a border consisting of inverted T symbols. Multiple areas are identified for tuna, salmon, striped bass, rockfish, halibut, sand dabs and crabbing.
California MPAs
State Marine Protection Areas as of March 2009 for the 12 counties within the CFC chart coverage areas are identified by boundary markings.
Supporting Area Information
Each area name and type of catch is identified on the chart. The chart also lists additional information such as special CFC fishing guidelines. MAX charts also contain images of the species plus history and regulations whenever possible.
Local References
Local names commonly associated with each of the designated fishing areas and other points of reference are maintained in the charts and displayed on the chart plotter.
Special Navigation Guides
The chart contains several CFC navigational guidelines for areas that the CFC has identified as difficult or potentially hazardous to navigate and are not shown on standard charts. One example is the Pillar Point Reef area.
The 2009 CFC chart retails for $199 regardless of product class. Contact your local dealer.
