mlpa ?

do the mlpa's move from year to year ?
i ask because some how i got mlpa;s on google earth. i think i got it from a members post. and was wondering if thier still good this year,
without plotting all the lat and long

They stay the same year-to-year.

sweet.
now how to figure out how to get them on my base map of my fish finder

Yes, they can change them but haven't that I am aware of.

If you are fishing near one, download the GPS coordinates from the DFG directly in addition from what you get from google, garmin or other topography.

Wow. Great thread . I've been meaning to ask if anyone knows of a good GPS app or even better a  gps /fish finder (ready to upgrade) that maps them as a highlighted area like  the dfg site?. I have a Garmin Oregon hand held which has coordinates but a pain to read.

Thanks

If you buy the Garmin Blue Charts, they have the SMR's outlined which is very helpful but they are expensive

I'm told the new Lowrance chart chips for 2015 (Nautic Pro or HD V15) have the MLPA zones as well.  Waiting for mine to come in to confirm.

bill   could this be done through insight planner ?

Good question ... I haven't had a chance to play with Insight Planner yet so I don't have an answer to that.  I'll look into it.

   Side note ... still waiting for an answer to your PM regarding the Genesis black out of the chart.

I got deals on this unit and added the navionics gold chip

bitchen used it 'all' weekend for the firs time...bad ass to see the MPA  lines and my route out and back and how close to any no no zones etc...bad ass

worth every penny if it keeps a stiff fine off my wallet---bad ass...100% worth it and works-easy to see my yak and any MPA,even for dummy's like me--worked all day on simple 20$ 12v 5 AH battery

screaming deal...check this price anywhere else
